 Seismic action

Semi-artificial accelerograms

Seven natural records modified to match the response
spectrum (using SIMQKE program)
Adjust Fourier amplitudes
Keep phase angles equal to the original

Accelerograms scaled to the target elastic spectrum
PGA of individual time-histories should not be smaller than the
codified PGA atop of soil layers (agS)
In the range of periods 0.2T1 = 0.14 s and 2T1 = 1.42 s (where
T1 = 0.71 s) no value of the mean spectrum, calculated from all
time histories, should be less than 90% of the corresponding
value of the code elastic response spectrum
