Response Spectrum IBC2003 Function Definition Form

See Response Spectrum Code Function Definition Form for details about using the form. The parameters for this code are as follows:

The following parameters are input for the IBC2003 response spectrum function. Any positive, nonzero value can be input for these parameters.

SDS =  The 5% damped design spectral response acceleration at short periods as specified in IBC2003 Section 1613.2.1.3.

SD1 =  The 5% damped design spectral response acceleration at a one second period as specified in IBC2003 Section 1613.2.1.3.

The IBC2003 response spectrum function is based on the procedure described in IBC2003 Section 1613.2.1.4.
