Hi guys,

Has anybody used this norm(SIA 261) to perform earthquake analysis on a structure based on ANSYS modal analysis+response spectrum? Can you provide any reference on this (paper, tutorial....whatever)?

I guess I know how to solve it but just to make sure I do not miss any important point. Well, the main issue probably will be to translate time vs acceleration (dimensionless) to frequency vs acceleration (with reliable dimensions)as this is the input for response spectrum (togetedhr with modal analysis?). Not sure how to do this....

Many thanks in advance
