A response spectrum is a plot of the peak or steady-state response (displacement, velocity or acceleration) of a series of oscillators of varying natural frequency, that are forced into motion by the same base vibration or shock. The resulting plot can then be used to pick off the response of any linear system, given its natural frequency of oscillation. One such use is in assessing the peak response of buildings to earthquakes. The science of strong ground motion may use some values from the ground response spectrum (calculated from recordings of surface ground motion from seismographs) for correlation with seismic damage.
If the input used in calculating a response spectrum is steady-state periodic, then the steady-state result is recorded. Damping must be present, or else the response will be infinite. For transient input (such as seismic ground motion), the peak response is reported. Some level of damping is generally assumed, but a value will be obtained even with no damping.
Response spectra can also be used in assessing the response of linear systems with multiple modes of oscillation (multi-degree of freedom systems), although they are only accurate for low levels of damping. Modal analysis is performed to identify the modes, and the response in that mode can be picked from the response spectrum. These peak responses are then combined to estimate a total response. A typical combination method is the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) if the modal frequencies are not close. The result is typically different from that which would be calculated directly from an input, since phase information is lost in the process of generating the response spectrum.
The main limitation of response spectra is that they are only universally applicable for linear systems. Response spectra can be generated for non-linear systems, but are only applicable to systems with the same non-linearity, although attempts have been made to develop non-linear seismic design spectra with wider structural application.

La construction parasismique ou construction antisismique est la réalisation de bâtiments et infrastructures résistant aux séismes. Elle implique l'étude du comportement des bâtiments et structures sujets à un chargement dynamique de type sismique.

L'accélération maximale du sol (en anglais : Peak Ground Acceleration ou PGA) est un paramètre caractérisant le mouvement de sols soumis à des ondes sismiques ; il est lié à la vitesse du sol se déplaçant lors d'un séisme. Ce paramètre dépend de l'intensité de la secousse, mais aussi de la nature géologique du sous-sol. Pour les petits séismes (magnitude < 3), c’est surtout l’accélération qui est ressentie par la population et rarement les mouvements verticaux (Wu et al.

Un sismographe est un instrument de mesure équipé d'un capteur des mouvements du sol, le sismomètre, capable de les enregistrer sur un support visuel, le sismogramme. Pour obtenir le mouvement tridimensionnel de l'onde sismique, il est nécessaire d'enregistrer trois directions différentes formant un trièdre (en général, une direction verticale, et deux directions horizontales perpendiculaires).

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, as the most prevalent approach to evaluate earthquake hazard, is commonly based on earthquake catalogs. Although previous studies show that the recurrence time of large-magnitude (M-w > 7.0) events in Iran is more tha ...

The seismic activity rate is one of the most significant factors in seismic hazard modeling. Although it is usually estimated from observed seismicity, a complete picture of the possible earthquakes is not always available since catalogs of the observed ea ...
