USGS-Provided Output
- Ss = 0.175 g
- S1 = 0.060 g
- SMS = 0.280 g
- SM1 = 0.145 g
- SDS = 0.187 g
- SD1 = 0.097 g
For information on how the SS and S1 values above have been calculated from probabilistic (risk-targeted) and deterministic ground motions in the direction of maximum horizontal response, please return to the application and select the “2009 NEHRP” building code reference document.
Line graph of MCER response spectrum, with the horizontal axis labeled “Period, T (sec)” ranging from 0.00 to 2.00, with the vertical axis labeled “Sa (g)” ranging from 0.00 to 0.30. The line graph approximately starts at the intersection of 0.00, 0.12; goes to approximately 0.10, 0.27; remains flat through 0.60,0.27; and then it slopes down to approximately 2.00, 0.10.
Line graph of design response spectrum, with the horizontal axis labeled “Period, T (sec)” ranging from 0.00 to 2.00, with the vertical axis labeled “Sa (g)” ranging from 0.00 to 0.22. The line graph approximately starts at the intersection of 0.00, 0.08; goes to approximately 0.10, 0.19; remains flat through 0.60,0.19; and then it slopes down to approximately 2.00, 0.06.
