Abstract
The motion of a point is specified completely through six components, three translational and three rotational. Three rotational components of ground motion are classified to two rocking components and one torsional component. The transitional components of ground motion are easily measurable by standard techniques, whereas the rotational components are not directly accessible. In this study, the rotational component of production technique was described, and the influences of soil type and the distance from the fault on the rotational component were investigated. The results showed that the effect of the rotational components is more significant in low periods. Also, the value of the normalized response spectra for soft soil is more than stiff soil, but for far-fault earthquake, it is less than near-fault earthquake.
