Drift demand spectra for selected Northridge sites

Abstract

This report presents uniformly processed data for ground motion at selected near-field sites where high peak velocities were observed during the Northridge earthquake. These data are used to produce drift demand spectra. Drift spectra are also presented for artificially generated Northridge ground motions. The results of the drift demand spectra are compared with results of numerical response evaluations of actual and prototype buildings.
