Ground Motion • External excitation in the form of • Ground Displacements • Ground Velocities • Ground Accelerations • Typical Duration 20-100 sec
Ground Motion Ground Motion has 3 Components N-S, E-W and Vertical Horizontal components are of major interest (excessive shear forces) Vertical component has been traditionally ignored, but may be important.

Structural Response Assumed to be Independent of Ground Motion True for most cases when Soil-Structure Interaction is not an issue
EARTHQUAKE ANALYSIS SDF SYSTEMS A SDF system is subjected to a ground motion ug(t). The deformation response u(t) is to be calculated.
EARTHQUAKE ANALYSIS EQUIVALENT STATIC FORCE fs(t) is the force which must be applied statically in order to create a displacement u(t).
REPONSE SPECTRA A response spectrum is a plot of maximum response (e.g. displacement, velocity, acceleration) of SDF systems to a given ground acceleration versus systems parameters (Tn , ). A response spectrum is calculated numerically using time integration methods for many values of parameters (Tn, ).
REPONSE SPECTRA Example : Deformation response spectrum for El Centro earthquake
Deformation, pseudo-velocityandpseudoacceleration response spectra can be defined and ploted on the same graphs n : natural circular frequency of the SDF system.
RESPONSE SPECTRUM CHARCTERISTICS Tn < 0.03 s : rigid system no deformation u(t) ≈ 0 D ≈ 0
RESPONSE SPECTRUM CHARCTERISTICS Tn > 15 s : flexible system no total displacement u(t) = ug(t) D = ugo
