This article reviews, at an elementary level, the ways in which information from strong-motion earthquake records may be presented. The various methods of presentation are illustrated with reference to the strong-motion records obtained at Pacoima Dam, in the San Fernando earthquake of 1971. As acceleration response spectra from the basis of most codes for the design of earthquake resistant structures, the historical development of response spectra is traced from the initial concept. Simplification of presentation by the use of 'pseudo' response spectra, and the use of spectra to define earthquake intensity are outlined. STRONG-MOTION RECORDS It was after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake that engineers became fully aware of the necessity to design buildings to resist earthquake forces. It was recognised that strong-motion records of actual earth quakes were required as design information. At that time, seismologists were making teleseismic records, but these gave no indication of the nature of the motion in the epicentral area.
