In studying the earthquake record, it is very important to identify the moment when the main energy enters the structure. From a technical point of view, it is very important to find a parameter that shows the intensity of an earthquake. Although the PGA as well as the PGV and PGD are very important parameters in earthquake engineering, but it is very important to know the time of the most intensive ground motion in the time history of earthquake. By taking a careful and deep look at the time history of the earthquake, a good understanding of the time of the most intensive ground motion can be achieved. In this paper, through a case study of the time history of the Sarpol-e-Zahab earthquake, a simple method and a suitable estimation of intensity and its distribution during the record is presented, also, a method based on the derivative of Arias intensity and energy flux has been developed to accurately determine the part of the earthquake record where the most important part of the energy is transferred to the structure. The results of this study show that there is an accurate relationship between the time history and the intensity. Also, by considering the proposed method for determining the effective duration and comparing the resulting response spectra, it can be concluded that in most cases, there is no need to use the entire time history of the earthquake for dynamic analysis, and a significant saving in time and cost can be achieved.
