The contemporary seismic design of nuclear power projects implies that in addition to intensity characterizing the level of seismic hazard for a construction area, the design response spectra are assigned as initial seismic effects. However, to carry out practical analyses of buildings and structures one needs seismic effect accelerograms that are generated using certain software. The paper provides one of the approaches to the accelerogram synthesis corresponding to the initial set of response spectra with various damping properties. The proposed synthesis technique is based on spectral analysis and multi-dimensional optimization methods.
