Dear Huffte
I have tried to match chi-chi with scale factor 1.0 and 2.0. When I got the acceleration and velocity for scale factor 2.0 is double of accel. and velocity for scale factor 1.0. However, I got different results when the target spectrum is not from original records, let say EC8. the ...

Dear Huffte

Thank you for your response. as you explained in example for the same accelerogram with scale factor 2.0, we get modified accelerogram double intensity. What do you mean intensity in this context? is it aries intensity or ordinate spectrum double?. when the modified accelerogram still ...

Dear Huffte
You said the scale factor in seismomatch is scaling of the input response spectrum not the original ground motion record. I need your more explanation. In fact, we have response spectrum design, for example, T=0 is PGA =0.4g dan at T=0.2-0.5 is constant 2.5x0.4=1g and etc., and we have ...

Dear All
I would like to know the physically meaning of scale factor in scaling of ground motion to response spectra design using seismomatch.
If this scale factor not amplitude scaling, what does it mean?.

Hi!
I would to know how to get seismic energy component such as hysteretic energy, damping energy and so on.

<t>Hi! Huffte<br/>
Thank you for your response but I am not really understand. For example, there are 4 records original acceleration. I will matched these acceleration to target spectra one by one. Sometimes they can matched with different scale factor.Let's say 3 of them using scale factor 1.5 ...

<t>Hi!<br/>
I want to know how to get match mean spectrum acceleration. As we know, when several acceleration were selected and matching to response spectrum target and we get macthed acceleration. sometimes these accleration using different scale factor.S0, how to get matched mean acceleration by ...

<t>Hi all!<br/>
I want to model hysteretic yielding steel damperapplied to the chevron configuration in the braced a frame. This damper can be modeled as bilinier model. I read from manual this damper can be modeled using link element through 2 node with zero length (coincide node). I am a little ...

<t>Dear Seismosoft<br/>
<br/>
I am a beginner in seismostruct and are interested to learn about damage of structures. my question is where and how to find example of structures using dynamic time history and Can seismostruct to calculate the area of hysteresis loop automatically?<br/>

Hi! all

I am a new beginner and want to know whether seismostruct can calculate and plot energy e.g input energy, hysteretic energy, strain energy etc.
