Abstract

This study aims to define the Seismic Energy that is imparted into the structure. When compared the energy-based spectra with the acceleration response spectra that are used in various codes, the latter do not take the duration and the frequency contents of the ground motion records, while the energy-based spectra takes these features into account and also combines the ground excitation and the structural response in its formulation. Therefore, enormous computations are required in the construction of the energy-based spectra while covering all the related parameters of ground motion and also the structural properties. This requirement is overcome by developing an extensive computer algorithm that ran in grid computer system in a computer laboratory of Istanbul Kultur University Civil Engineering Department.
