CONSISTENT ESTIMATION OF THE POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY OF SEISMIC GROUND ACCELERATIONS
This paper presents the algorithm for obtaining consis-tent estimates of power spectra using Welch's method with 50% overlapping by Hamming windowsIt is debated the quality of the estimates, the choice of parameters for estimating and resolution of spectral analysis. The results are illustrated on the example of smoothing of periodogram obtained from accelerograms Bucharest earthquake (1977).
