QuakeManager: A Software Framework for Ground Motion Record Management,Selection,Analysis and Modification

Abstract eng:
QuakeManager is an integrated software framework and database information system for the management, selection, modification and analysis of ground motion records. The QuakeManager Suite consists of a number of ground motion modification and analysis technologies built around a powerful ground motion database management system. The main objective of the QuakeManager Suite is to provide users with state-of-the-art ground motion selection, modification and analysis tools, while simultaneously providing utilities for file management, import and export of data, unit conversion, and other time-consuming tasks. By integrating several functionalities in one easy-to-use program, the process of ground motion selection and analysis can be performed more effectively. The framework was designed using modern software design concepts and makes heavy use of object-oriented software design and design patterns. This resulted in a clean design that is easy to maintain, modify and extend. The software has a highly interactive and configurable user interface that has a familiar feel and is easy to learn. These interactive features combined with the advanced capabilities of QuakeManager will make it easier for earthquake engineering professionals, students and researchers to find and utilize ground motion data.
