Abstract
The goal of this paper is to propose input energy spectra applicable to seismic design of structures based on Iranian earthquakes. In terms of input energy, these spectra represent the load effects of a strong earthquake that a structure may encounter during its lifetime. For this purpose, from among 1800 existing earthquake records in Iran, 110 records were selected. By using these records and through dynamic response analyses, the design input energy spectra for four ground types, defined by the Iranian earthquake code of practice, have been derived.
