How do you create a response spectrum for earthquakes?

To create a response spectrum for earthquakes, you need to first measure the ground motion at a particular site. This can be done using a seismograph or accelerometer. Then, you need to calculate the Fourier amplitude spectrum of the ground motion. This can be done using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. Finally, you need to plot the amplitude spectrum against the frequency of the ground motion to create the response spectrum.
