Parameters

Name

The name of an existing or new function. If this is an existing function, that function is modified; otherwise, a new function is added.

Italag

The peak ground acceleration.

ItalSoilType

This is 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, indicating the seismic intensity.

4 = E

5 = D

Italq

The structure factor.

ItalLevel

This is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, indicating the spectral level, direction and building type.

0 = SLU/H/Building

1 = SLU/H/Bridge

2 = SLU/V/Building

3 = SLU/V/Bridge

4 = EL/H/Building

5 = EL/H/Bridge

6 = EL/V/Building

7 = EL/V/Bridge

SLU refers to ultimate strength design and EL refers to elastic design. H and V are horizontal and vertical, respectively.

DampRatio

The damping ratio for the function, 0 <= DampRatio < 1.
