PERIOD determination
PERIOD determination
(OP)
Hello
i just want to ask how can we define how fast is a certain period is in earthquake?
like having a 0.0390 seconds or like that
what is the equivalent of it on richter scale?
if theres an equivalent of it on richter scale
from what i understand the period came from a certain wave (like P or S waves) although i just want to know the equivalent of it.
thank you very much

RE: PERIOD determination
richter scale is more in terms of lateral displacement, no ?
not sure how "they" go from a seimsograph trace to a richter scale, but the period is clearly on the trace (peak-to-peak).
not sure how useful period is (unless you're designing a building and want to define a required natural frequency of the building to minimise siesmic effects). 'cause it's only 1/2 the story of the power of the event. i think you can say the same with lateral displacement (how quickly did it occur ?).

If you are looking for design values see the ASCE7 in the USA like was stated above.
