For this tutorial we’ll modify a ground motion record to match
the geometric mean response spectrum used in the

Spectral Matching of Time History
When using RspMatch it is recommended to adjust the time

history in stages over progressively wider frequency bands.
We’ll use three passes for this tutorial. The first pass matches
the seed time history (i.e., RSN763_LOMAP_GIL067.AT2) over
the frequency range of 1.0 – 36.0 Hz. The second pass will
match the time history created by the first pass over the
frequency range of 0.5 to 36.0 Hz. And the third pass will
match for the frequency range of 0.1 to 36.0 Hz. For
convenience, we’ll accept the default values for some
variables.
36 Hz is the Maximum Usable Frequency for the GIL067 record

as obtained from the PEER Flat File (next slide, i.e., maximum
frequency equal to 0.8 fLP, after Kotke, 2010). The Lowest
Usable Frequency for the record is 0.088 Hz. However, for this
tutorial, we will use 0.1 Hz for the lowest frequency as the
maximum period of the target spectrum is 10 seconds.
