To run Static Pushover analysis:

source Ex1b.Portal2D.Push.tcl

The response curves for Ex1b(obtained from the recorders' files DFree.out RBase.out) are as follows:

To run EQ ground-motion analysis (BM68elc.acc needs to be downloaded into the same directory):

source Ex1b.Portal2D.EQ.tcl

The response curves for Ex1b(obtained from the recorders' files DFree.out RBase.out) are as follows:
