What is one criterion for selecting ground motion records?
Consider how energy influences the overall impact.
True or False: Spectral compatibility ensures that ground motions match the expected response across frequencies.
Reflect on how records need to align with expected structural behavior.
Consider a site located 10 km from a major fault zone. What factors should you analyze when selecting appropriate ground motion records?
