Description	SHAKE2000 is a software package that integrates ShakEdit and SHAKE. It provides a graphical user interface to SHAKE with the following features: Numerous attenuation relationships for estimating peak horizontal acceleration and velocity with distance; and, for the pseudo acceleration and pseudo velocity response spectra. Design spectra such as NEHRP, IBC 2000, UBC 1997, EuroCode 8 and AASHTO. These spectra and those from attenuation relationships can be plotted simultaneously with the spectra computed with SHAKE. Calculation of permanent slope displacements due to earthquake shaking using the Newmark Method or the Makdisi-Seed Method. A postprocessor for SEISRISK III, a computer program for seismic hazard estimation developed by the USGS. Incorporation of a number of equations used to estimate the maximum shear moduli, Gmax. Computation of cyclic stress ratio (CSR) based on equivalent uniform shear stress using the peak shear stress computed with SHAKE; or the simplified equation by Seed & Idriss (1971). Estimation of the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) required to initiate liquefaction using: Standard Penetration Test results and the CRR vs. N1,60,cs chart developed by Seed et al. (1985) as revised in the NCEER (1997) workshop; and Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data, as recommended by Robertson and Wride, and recently reviewed in the Proceedings of the NCEER Workshop on Evaluation of Liquefaction Resistance of Soils. Calculation of settlement induced by earthquake shaking using either the Tokimatsu & Seed (1987), or the Ishihara and Yoshimine (1992) Method. An option to obtain the Peak Ground Acceleration from the gridded points used to make the 1996 USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps based on latitude and longitude input. A database of some 2500+ files of recorded and artificially generated ground motions (e.g. SAC Phase 2, PEER ground motions, simulated ground motions for Central USA, etc.), and utilities to convert files to a format compatible with SHAKE. An artificial ground motion can be generated using the SIMQKE computer program. An option to compute the response spectra for a ground motion. Evaluation of liquefaction induced ground deformation. Printing of the output results for each graph in table form for inclusion in reports or other documents. A database of dynamic material properties. On-line help for every form used in the program. Compatibility with input files used by SHAKE91. The program works with either English or SI units. It graphically displays the results of the ground motion and other analyses. For example, values of peak acceleration are displayed vs. depth; time history accelerations are displayed as values of acceleration vs. time; attenuation relationships are displayed as a log-log graph of acceleration vs. distance; etc.. Results from SEISRISK III can be displayed as contours, or 3-D surface graphs. The graphs can be imported into another application such as a word processor for preparing presentations or engineering reports.
