ShakyGround - Version 2.0 SHAKYGROUND is a software tool designed to provide the earthquakes effects estimation in urban, industrial areas and cities.It provides the user a friendly environment allowing the simulation of strong ground motion by means of synthetic simulation of acceleration seismograms and the estimation of seismic load in a given area.It forms the seismological base for the design of earthquake-resistant buildings and for land use planning. Moreover, it allows the identification of sites where the expected ground shaking is severe; this can be useful for emergency planning, as well as for enhancing earthquake awareness.Strong ground motion is seriously affected by wave propagation effects caused by changes due to absorption, reflection and refraction at the boundaries of the geological structures.The software tool incorporates concepts of the seismic source process and wave propagation effects which are well confirmed by numerous scientific studies and practical applications.
