<strong>the</strong> determination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> target displacement d * for structures in <strong>the</strong> short-period<br />

range <strong>and</strong> for structures in <strong>the</strong> medium <strong>and</strong> long-period ranges different<br />

expressions should be used as indicated below. The corner period between<br />

The target displacement corresponds to <strong>the</strong> control node. Moreover, <strong>the</strong><br />

relation between different quantities can be visualized in Figure 4.48 <strong>and</strong> in<br />

Figure 4.49). The figures are plotted in acceleration - displacement format. The<br />

period T * is represented by <strong>the</strong> radial line from <strong>the</strong> origin <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> coordinate<br />

system to <strong>the</strong> point at <strong>the</strong> elastic response spectrum defined by coordinates<br />
