Overview#

The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) – Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) Simulated Ground Motion Database (SGMD) includes a large set of simulated ground motions generated from physics-based, deterministic, broad-band earthquake simulations. These simulated ground motions in the database have undergone careful validation, including comparisons against recorded ground motions from actual earthquakes.
The development and maintenance of SGMD is supported by the Department of Energy (DOE) and LBNL under award number 056892.
