newmark: Uncertainty Analysis in Dynamic Site and Slope Response

Implements a four-stage pipeline for probabilistic seismic performance analysis of slopes and embankments. The package takes a uniform-hazard spectrum at multiple return periods as input (any source) and produces: (1) synthetic soil profile generation and fundamental period estimation from USCS classification via Ishihara's small-strain shear-modulus model and the inhomogeneous truncated shear-beam theory of Gazetas and Dakoulas; (2) nonlinear site amplification using the Seyhan & Stewart (2014) model <doi:10.1193/063013EQS181M>, with inter-period correlation via Baker & Jayaram (2008) <doi:10.1193/1.2857544>; (3) Monte Carlo ensemble of six empirical Newmark sliding-block displacement models (Ambraseys & Menu (1988) <doi:10.1002/eqe.4290160704>, Jibson (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.enggeo.2007.01.013>, Saygili & Rathje (2008) <doi:10.1061/(ASCE)1090-0241(2008)134:6(790)>, Bray & Travasarou (2007) <doi:10.1061/(ASCE)1090-0241(2007)133:4(381)>, Bray & Macedo (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.soildyn.2017.05.024>, and the Bray and Macedo shallow-crustal update) with coherent correlated draws; (4) log-log inversion to the performance-based seismic coefficient kmax at user-specified displacement targets. All outputs are 'data.table' objects.
