Hi,
I’m going to work with time-history analyses but I need to know how to select the correct ground motion records and how to scale them, in order to match the features of a specific place. I would appreciate any information about it.
Thanks.

You need to talk to a geologist .... Preferably one who specializes in seismic records.

I've done this a few times myself, but always with factors provided by and derived by a geologist.

This applies to the site records, not the scaling factors. There are several good sources for the proper scaling factors.
