Input Earthquake Motions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Seismic Ground Response Analysis

Part of the book series: Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering ((GGEE,volume 36))

Abstract

As input earthquake motion for the seismic ground response analysis is usually given a priori as an analysis condition, the engineer need not choose them. This book also stands on the same point of view. It may be, however, necessary to know how it is chosen or determined.
