Description

Amplitude, frequency content, and duration are widely recognized as the key characteristics of earthquake ground motions that influence structural response. Yet, in current structural design and assessment practice, ground motions are often explicitly characterized by just their pseudo acceleration response spectra—which quantify their amplitude and frequency content—while duration is commonly relegated to implicit, qualitative consideration. This study evaluates the need to explicitly consid...
