Engineers traditionally have shown a preference for acceleration spectra, since the resulting coefficient, when multiplied by the seismic mass, results in the lateral base shear for the building. In Australia [ 7 ] and the Uniformed Building Code used in the western USA [ 9 ] these spectra are presented as a simple uniform coefficien...
