WAVGEN_2

This program has been written to generate a synthetic accelerogram via the modification of a recorded accelerogram, such that the generated accelerogram is compatible with a specified PSA spectrum. WAVGEN_2 is an updated version of the original WAVGEN program, now called as WAVGEN_1. The executable version of this program is available at http://home.iitk.ac.in/~vinaykg/wavgen.htm.
