Assertion (A): Records for a time history analysis should match the design spectrum.

Reason (R): The spectrum represents the demand the structure must resist.

Select the correct option.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

The design spectrum states the level of demand the code requires, so records used in place of it must deliver comparable demand across the periods of interest. Matching magnitude, distance and site class as well makes the selection stronger still.
