SURE 2.0

Surface rupturing data from the historical earthquakes is used for obtaining empirical regression parameters for fault displacement hazard assessment. This is the second version of the SUrface Ruptures due to Earthquake (SURE) database. This new release contains slip measurements and mapped surface rupture traces of 50 surface rupturing earthquakes of reverse, normal, and strike-slip kinematics. As a novelty, a ranking scheme of the rupture features is applied to all the traces and slip measurements in the database. Fault ranking introduces geology as a primary analysis tool and allows the end user to obtain regression parameters suitable for the specific geological conditions at the site of interest. SURE 2.0 dataset consists of a table containing the background information about each earthquake, a table containing the slip measurement data of each event, and a joint shapefile containing all the surface rupture traces of the events in the database.
