A method for construction of smooth site dependent design response spectra is proposed. The simplified procedure for obtaining the site dependent spectra is described. Some comparisons with the response spectra of actual earthquakes are carried out and good agreements are observed. Comparison with the Newmark's spectra and the Regulatory Guide 1.60 spectra are also presented.
