Tip

Using the coefficients obtained from the map, the spectrum curve given in Figure 11.4-1 with Equation 11.4-5 - 11.4-7 Codes is automatically determined by the programme.

Info

Due to the need for site-specific analysis for site class F, the design spectrum isn’t determined automatically. The reduced design spectrum needs to be imported as a .txt file.

Horizontal elastic design spectral accelerations Sa, are defined in terms of gravity [g] depending on the natural vibration period.With the spectral response acceleration parameters obtained from USGS depending on the coordinates, horizontal elastic design spectrum Sa isdetermined according to the formula below. It is represented by a total of 4 functions, different in each region. It’s shown in the graph below.
