A procedure to generate artificial acceleration time histories compatible with predefined target response spectrum is presented. The procedure is demonstrated with three examples.
It was found out that the generated artificial histories yield high quality response spectra for single-damping defined target spectra. A need for method that yields histories matching target spectra defined with multiple damping values was recognized.
