ANNEX A (Informative)
ELASTIC DISPLACEMENT RESPONSE SPECTRUM.
A. For structures of long vibration period, the seismic action may be represented in
the form of a displacement response spectrum, Sp. (7), as shown in Figure A.1.

Figure A.1: Elastic displacement response spectrum.
A.2 Upto the control period 7p, the spectral ordinates are obtained from expressions
(3.13.4) converting S.(7) to Sp.(1) through expression (3.7). For vibration periods
beyond Tz, the ordinates of the elastic displacement response spectrum are obtained
from expressions (A.1) and (A.2)
