Abstract
This paper illustrates REXELweb, an updated online version of REXEL,
which is a tool for the automatic selection and scaling of spectrum-compatible ground-
motions for dynamic analysis of structures. REXELweb allows to define target spectra
according to user-definition or design provisions (Eurocode 8 and Italian building code), as
well as to uniform hazard spectra (UHS) based on a European hazard model. REXELweb
implements all functionalities and options of REXEL through web-services that are accessible
either via a MATHWORKS-MATLAB script or a user-friendly web-interface. The program
selects records from the Engineering Strong Motion database (ESM), which is a daily-updated
Pan-European repository of high-quality ground-motion records. These features make
REXELweb a potentially useful tool for researchers and practitioners.
