Description: Contains programs to facilitate performing both rigorous and simplified Newmark sliding-block analysis and a simplied model of decoupled analysis. Includes 2160 strong-motion records from 29 earthquakes. Utilities are available that allow users to add their own records to the program and use them for analysis. Also included is a document containing detailed information on how to use Newmark's method to model dynamic slope performance.
