Plastic hinge rates of beams and columns in model KJ1.

Specimen	Selected seismic waves	Pc	Average	Pb	Average
KJ1	Northwest Calif. 02/09/1941	0.08	0.15	0.11	0.28
	Hollister 03/24/1974	0.13		0.28
	Imperial Valley 5/19/1940	0.21		0.33
	Parkfield 06/28/1966	0.21		0.39
	San Fernando 02/09/1971	0.13		0.28

Note: P_c is the plastic hinge rate of columns and P_b is the plastic hinge rate of beams.
