Practical usage of conditioning period Tstar as numpy.ndarray #14

Closed Mengesh closed 3 months ago

Mengesh commented 3 months ago

Hi @volkanozsarac, it's me again but with a whole different issue :smile:

Tstar variable is used in ConditionalSpectrum.create method as a conditioning period. The method description states that it can be also used as a numpy.ndarray, and its application is shown in Example1.ipynb. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out the practical usage of having multiple conditioning periods like this. Could you please elaborate on this or at least point me to the literature where I can find the answer?

Thank you!

Hi @Mengesh, it is essentially used for different conditioning IM than Sa(T). It is called average spectral acceleration, AvgSA. I have written about this in my thesis. You can check section 3.4.1
