Abstract :
During this year, 150 earthquakes with magnitude greater than 4 occurred in Iran. In addition; more than 331 accelerograms were recorded by the accelerographs of the Iran Strong Motion Network, operated by the Building and Housing Research Center. Among these, the Qeshm Island earthquake of 10th Sep. 2008, with Mw6.1 was the greatest one. The main shock of this earthquake triggered 11 accelerographs. Its maximum PGA was about 597 Cm/s/s that were registered by Tomban Station. The strong motion and seismological data of important accelerograms are listed in the appendix table.
