Strongmotion, Database, National Seismological NetworkAbstract
Since its creation in 2012, the Centro Sismológico Nacional (National Seismological Center) of the Universidad de Chile has managed the seismological networks that monitor seismicity in Chile. Part of it is composed of more than 400 accelerometers, some of them recording continuously and others with a trigger. From this extensive network, records have been collected for more than 3000 Chilean events. These records present an invaluable tool for the knowledge of the seismicity in Chile and the behavior of the soils in Chilean cities and towns. This work shows some tools for the use of this extensive database, together with some features that facilitate its use. This opens a door of access to the entire community to nourish by these data.
