Abstract
In this paper a new method is presented for generating earthquake accelerograms which have pre‐established response spectra. The non‐stationary random nature and other salient features of the accelerograms can be taken care of by the procedure developed. The method leads to a sample spectrum which lies above the given spectrum. The generation of records to suit several spectra simultaneously can also be handled by this approach. The method is detailed first. This is followed by several numerical examples.Keywords
