Response of Structures To Earthquake Ground Motions

The document discusses the response of structures to earthquake ground motions. It analyzes the displacement, velocity, and acceleration response of a single-degree-of-freedom system with a 1.0 second natural period when subjected to the 1940 El Centro earthquake record. Graphs show the maximum response increases with decreasing period in the displacement response spectrum. Additional graphs compare displacement and acceleration response spectra for different earthquake records and damping levels. Frequency content, response spectrum nomenclature, and typical code design spectra are also briefly covered.
