My query is: when one wants to do response spectrum analysis, should the value of SCALE be 1 or 9.81?
Since the response spectrum curve given in IS 1983:2002 is plotted with Sa/g (i.e. normalized) on the vertical axis,
should not we take SCALE (f4) =9.81 ? Later on, the scale can be changed depending upon the value of base
shear obtained through seismic coefficient method.
with regards,
aditya
