Prediction of elastic displacement response spectra in Europe and the Middle East.

Empirical equations are presented for the prediction of displacement response ordinates for damping ratios of 2, 5, 10, 20 and 30% of critical and for response periods up to 4s, using 532 accelerograms from the strong-motion databank from Europe and the Middle East. The records were all re-processed...
