Find an acceleration time history record from any database $($i$.$e$.$ AFAD, PEER

and etc.$).$

a$)$ Plot acceleration, velocity and displacement time histories using the

record that you find in using SeismoSignal. You can download the free

trial version of the program from its web site.

b$)$ What are the main ground motion parameters $($amplitude$,$ arias

intensity and etc.$)$ for the record you have obtained?

c$)$ Plot the response spectra of this record for $5\%$ and $10\%$ damping.

d$)$ Try to estimate the spectral acceleration value for

i$.$ A $5-$story building

ii$.$ A rigid earth dam

iii. A skyscraper of $60-$story height
