Discussion
True or false: a response spectrum is a property of the ground motion, not of any one structure.
Answer: A
Correct answer: True, though it is computed using a family of oscillators
The spectrum characterises the ground motion, which is why one curve serves every structure at the site. Oscillators do enter the computation - the ordinate at each period is the peak response of an oscillator of that period - but they are a family sweeping all periods rather than any particular building, so no structure’s properties are embedded in the result.
