ETA20kd

These records have been optimized to fit average acceleration spectra, average nonlinear displacement sepctra and average hysteretic energy of first components of FEMAP695 far-field record set.

"ETA20kd" series follow a linearly intensifying profile. Optimization has been done for 120 Ts in 0.02 sec to 5.0 sec range. Three ductility ratios are considered' 2, 4, and 8. Normally, the first 3 records should be used. However, five records are produced in case that they might be required for special purposes.

acceleration points are in terms of g.
