Question: Plot the elastic and inelastic acceleration response spectra ( ductility = 2 and = 4 ) for the 1 9 9 4 Northridge ( California

Plot the elastic and inelastic acceleration response spectra (ductility =2 and
=4) for the 1994 Northridge (California) earthquake, Newhall Fire Station and
the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu (Japan) earthquake, Kobe University Station. Also,
calculate the inelastic spectra for a record comprising the same records as
above, applied twice in series in the same analysis. Comment on the
difference in results if any between the two earthquake records and between
the single and double application of the same record. For both elastic and
inelastic spectra, assume a viscous damping of 1%.
