record scaling
Posted: 20 Jun 2021, 08:20
Hi everybody
I downloaded the record from Peer. Each Time Series Records has two horizontal components(H1,H2).There are two maximum accelerations for each component(PGA1,PGA2). To scale it, it is necessary to divide the components of each into the maximum acceleration (max(PGA1,PGA2)). I want to analyze the structure under shock and aftershock. There are also two maximum accelerations for aftershock (PGA3,PGA4). Now my question is, to scale, should horizontal aftershock components be divided by their maximum acceleration (max(PGA3,PGA4)) or maximum total acceleration (max(PGA1,PGA2,PGA3,PGA4))?
