This paper presents a procedure for representing and synthesizing strongmotion accelerograms to be used in computing structural response in earthquake prone areas. This procedure models the target earthquake as a nonstationary second-order autoregressive (AR) process. The AR parameters are determined either by segmenting the record or by continuously updating the parameters in a time adaptive manner. The outlined procedure is applied to the simulation of accelerograms using the Orion Boulevard recording of the 1971 San Fernando earthquake as a target.
