Map of geologic subsurface classes according German Annex of Eurocode 8

Based on data from geological 3D models of the federal states Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia, thicknesses of Quaternary and Tertiary sediments were determined. Based on these thickness data, the geological substrate classes "R" (rock), "T" (shallow sediment basins), and "S" (deep sediment basins) were designated according to DIN (National Annex Eurocode 8 - DIN EN 1998-1/Na2023-11: Nationally determined parameters - Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance - Part 1: General rules, seismic actions and rules for buildings). The subsoil, including rocks to a depth of 30 m, was not considered in the designation. The geological substrate classes were represented on a grid with a cell size of 1 km x 1 km. Compared to the previous designation of geological substrate classes, a significantly higher spatial resolution was achieved. For further information on the development of this map, see the final report included.
