Re sponse Spe ctrum Analysis

Response-spectrum analysis is a statistical type of analysis for the determination of the likely response of a structure to seismic loading. Response-spectrum analysis seeks the likely maximum response to these equations rather than the full time history. The earthquake ground acceleration in each direction is given as a digitized response-spectrum curve of pseudo- spectral acceleration response versus period of the structure.
