ETA20in_xyz

These records are optimized in nonlinear range to fit average RS of 20 records (longitudinal accelerograms) used in FEMA 440 for soil type (C)

XYZ components are provided for multicomponent analysis.

Optimization is for R=1,2,4,8 and 71 Ts in 0-5 secs plus 9 points from T=5 to T=50 secs

Acceleration points are in terms of m/s2.

NPTS=2001 DT=0.01
