The CRISP archive (acronym for “Caratterizzazione della RIsposta sismica dei Siti Permanenti della rete
sismica” - “Site characterization of the permanent seismic stations ”) is an integrated database that brings
together all the information useful for the seismic characterization of sites of the Italian National Seismic
Network, to provide the maximum knowledge available in an easily accessible way. The archive for a single
site collects information on position, instrumentation, instrument housing, map, geological characteristics,
seismic analysis, geophysical investigation, site classification. Field values come from already available
information or ad-hoc analysis.
Details on database and front end can be found in Menu Bar - About - Documentation.
CRISP is a "work in progress" project and it is open to later additions and improvements. All new entries
are recognisable via the last update field.

Abstract:A MW6.0 earthquake struck the Central Italian Apennines on August 24th 2016, followed by an important seismic sequence characterized by hundreds of aftershocks. The earthquake caused fatalities and partially destroyed several towns surrounding the epicentral area. In this context the Italian Centre for Seismic Microzonation and its applications was involved for the seismic characterization of the struck area. Using ambient vibrations spectral ratios at seventy-five sites and shear wave velocity profiles obtained through surface waves dispersion properties we assessed seismic site response properties in the Pretare and Piedilama villages located in the territory of Arquata del Tronto. The survey performed inside the valley in which the two villages are located set into evidence that the spectral ratios often show a predominant frequency ranging between 3.0 and 5.0Hz or several peaks that can be related to some alternating layers with different velocities. Conversely, along the valley flanks, where the geological substratum outcrop, spectral ratios tend towards low amplitude values. The soft sediments inside the valley are characterized by shear wave velocity lower than 350m/s, whereas the geological substratum has shear wave velocity ranging between 600 and 1200m/s. The integrated interpretation of both geophysical and geological data, made possible to infer subsoil models of the investigated areas identifying the depth of the seismic bedrock and characterizing the buried morphology.
