In it you appear to be assuming that crushing phases (or Jolts, whatever you want to call them) follow a simple t^2 model.
I don't think so, where? Can you give a page reference?

How do you justify assuming that any jolts must have been so symetric/patterened/evenly (insert appropriate descriptor here) spaced in the time domain?
Two reasons, for the first see Bazant et al.
and second. We assume the structure of the building is, as buildings often are and this one certainly is, 'symetric[sic]/patterened[sic]/evenly ..... spaced'
Though not as you say in the time domain (velocity is increasing).
We don't expect as Bazant does not expect, that every floor would give a jolt, we just say one may occur here, in other words this is, from Bazant, where a jolt might occur. We then look in the data to see if one (or more) has occurred, and we see no evidence that a jolt has occurred.
