After performing ground motion operation(s) (selection, spectral matching, site response analysis), QuakeManager enables the users to compare original records with the modified records (after operation). This capability extends to comparing component time histores, various triplet resultant spectra (SRSS, Geomean, RotD100, RotD50, RotD00, MaxH1_H2, MinH1_H2, Components and FN/FP) and pulse records.

Figures below show the time history and spectra chart ribbons. Also, figures below present the original and modified charts for the AVD, Arias, tight/mean component spectra, bidirectional spectra and pulse spectra.

Preserve H1/H2 Ratio

The figures below shows an example for the spectral with "Preserve H1/H2 ratio" option enabled. A tight spectral matching is perfomed on a suite of records and "TCU101" record was selected for this example. The ratio of component 1 to component 2 at a specific period (0.24s in this case) was calculated and compared to the ratio of component 1 to component 2 at the same period (0.24s) after tight spectral matching. QuakeManager have of the capability of preserving the H1/H2 ratio after spectral matching for the user who require it. The first figure represents the original records (selected records) with H1/H2=1.75@0.24s. The second figure shows the tight spectrally matched records with "Preserve H1/H2 ratio" enabled in the options; the results indicated that the H1/H2 was maintained as the ratio was identical to the original. The third figure shows the H1/H2 ratio without the preserve ratio, where the resulting ratio is 1.09 at the same period as before (0.24s).
