A Matlab-Based Database of Seismic Intensity for Historical Earthquake in North China
Abstract eng: Pre-instrumental recordings of earthquakes in North China can be traced back to Ming Dynasty about 500 years ago, with most of the destructive earthquakes above magnitude 6½ possessing good coverage of historical documents recording earthquake destruction. To facilitate the using of this set of information in the study of seismic zonation, strong ground motion, and source process, we developed a database of seismic intensity of historical earthquakes in North China. The region spans 30ºN~42ºN and 104ºE~125ºE and contains 33 earthquakes with magnitude larger than 6½. To serve various needs of seismological study, the database uses MatLab, with the functions of mapping, intensity indexing, and isoseismal contour plotting.
