A dataset for performance-based assessment of number of equivalent uniform stress cycles

A critical review of currently existing studies regarding number of equivalent uniform stress cycle concept revealed that; i) significantly extended earthquake catalogs are now available, which may enable improved assessments of cyclic stress conversion of irregular transient earthquake records to uniform stress cycles, ii) based on the findings of Cetin and Bilge (2012), weighting factors (m values) of stress conversions are now known to be stress, strain and density state dependent, and iii) these weighting factors extend to ranges, which exceed the limits of earlier studies. Inspired by these, a semi-empirical probability-based model for the estimation of equivalent number of uniform stress cycles as functions of earthquake, site and performance (either strain or pore pressure-based) parameters is proposed by Cetin et al. (2020). The dataset presented herein is used for the purpose, which lists column-wise the region, the name and the magnitude of the earthquake event and the shear wave velocity of the upper 30 m of the strong ground motion recording site. Additionally, the closest, epicentral, and Joyner and Boore distances are documented followed by the weighting factor m used for estimating the equivalent number of uniform stress cycles. Last but not least, in the last four columns the directivity parameters also widely referred to as Summerville parameters are given.
