Abstract
The strong-motion database is one of the highest priorities to be established in the field of earthquake engineering and engineering seismology. This report describes the design concepts and the data installation for the prototype of strong-motion database that will be used for the shaking table, that is the 3-D Full Scale Earthquake Testing Facility (E-Defense), established by the National Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention. We focused on the scheme of the database which is easy to retrieve the data on demands, such as magnitude range, PGA, PGV, PGD, seismic intensity, distance to a source and so on.
