| Abstract | This investigation is intended to show that white noise is a suitable representation of earthquake motion. It appears that a white-noise source used in conjunction with an analog computer is a convenient method of analyzing structures subjected to complex ground motions and of assigning probabilities to the deformations arising. Until more statistical information is available about earthquakes, it is suggested that a "standard large earthquake" be represented by "white" ground accelerations having a flat spectral density of 0.75 ft2/sec4/cps and a duration of 1/2 min. |
