Internet Resources for Earthquake Information

These resources offer free searching and many downloadable reports.

Caltech Earthquake Engineering Laboratory Reports

An archive of freely downloadable technical reports from several labs in the
domain of earth sciences at Caltech. Includes approximately 1180 earthquake
engineering technical reports. Data includes work on strong-motion
earthquake accelerograms, and considerable research springing from the San
Fernando, Whittier Narrows, Landers and Northridge earthquakes.
Covers 1952-present.

Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center Reports

The PEER Reports Series comprises state-of-the art research in earthquake
engineering and related fields by the more than 150 expert members of the
PEER universities consortium. The current emphasis of the series is on
performance-based engineering of lifelines and building structures.
Any reports with numbers in RED are restricted to BIP members.
