1. Definition
The peak or maximum response (acceleration, velocity, displacement) of all possible linear single
degree of freedom (SDF) system to a particular component of ground motion for a given level of
damping.
2.
The response spectrum provided a convenient and practical way to summarize the
frequency content of a given acceleration, velocity or displacement time history.
It provides a practical way to apply the knowledge of structural dynamics to design
of structures and development of lateral force requirements in building codes.

(1)
Obtain the ground motion (a(t)) for an earthquake. Typically the acceleration
values should be defined at time steps of 0.02 second, or less.
(2)
Select the natural vibration period, Tn, and damping ratio, , for SDOF system.
(Usually 5 percent damping is selected.)
(3)
Determine the maximum displacement response for a SDOF structure with the
selected percent damping for a given period or frequency of vibration.
To do this, you must solve the following differential equation
mM2u/dt2 + c Mu/dt + k u = F(t)
This can be solved using (see Chopra, Ch. 1, pp. 28-32):
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Fourier transform
(4)
Repeat step 3 and vary the fundamental period of the structure by changing the mass
(m), the stiffness (k), or both. Plot the new results.
