Structures are categorized to into a Seismic Design Category according to their Risk Category and the design spectral response acceleration parameters, SDS and SD1, with Table 11.6-1 or 11.6-2.
SDS | I or II or III | IV |
---|---|---|
SDS < 0.167 | A | A |
0.167 ≤ SDS < 0.33 | B | C |
0.33 ≤ SDS < 0.50 | C | D |
0.50 ≤ SDS | D | D |
SD1 | I or II or III | IV |
---|---|---|
SDS < 0.067 | A | A |
0.067 ≤ SDS < 0.133 | B | C |
0.133 ≤ SDS < 0.20 | C | D |
0.20 ≤ SDS | D | D |
Risk Category I, II, or III structures settled where SD1 is greater than or equal to 0.75 , is designated to Seismic Design Category E. Risk Category IV structures settled where SD1 is greater than or equal to 0.75 , is designated to Seismic Design Category F.
