Duration Definition in Intensity Parameters

[koraykadas]

It seems duration definitions considered in ground motion intensity parameter calculations are confused. In "SeismoSignal Help", it is stated that all duration related parameters contain "tr" which is defined as the significant duration. However, when I checked the results by hand, I observed that for all duration related parameters (a_rms, v_rms, d_rms, characteristic intensity, SED, CAV) total duration of the strong ground motion record has been considered.

Could you please clarify the issue?

Regards.

Dear Koraykadas,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, which we will now look into and, eventually, correct.

Thanks again,
