Introduction
The displacement response spectrum is a graphical representation of the maximum structural response (displacement) of a system to different frequencies of a ground motion (excitation) such as an earthquake. It is used in seismic engineering to evaluate the seismic performance of structures and to assess the seismic hazard of a site. The displacement response spectrum plots the maximum displacement of the structure against the frequency of the excitation and is used to design and evaluate the seismic performance of structures.
