Generation of Synthetic Time Histories Functions Compatible with Syrian Response Spectra in Frequency Domain and Time Domain Applicable to Dynamic Analysis

In this study, basic methodologies and procedures for generation synthetic time histories in time domain and frequency domain are summarized. These synthetic time histories are matching Syrian spectrum and compatible with wide range of buildings models and soil types according to the seismic parameters of Lattakia city. This paper will discuss the Selection and scaling criteria of three real time history records available in strong ground motion databases to satisfy the Syrian spectrum, and the suitability as input to time history analysis of civil engineering structures.
