How does ideCAD define horizontal elastic design spectrum for site-pecific ground motion, according to ASCE 7-16?

...

Info
  • Due to the need for site-specific analysis for site class F, the reduced design spectrum needs to be imported by user as a .txt fileuser defines short-period and long-period site coefficients Fa and Fv.

...

Site response analysis have has to be performed in accordance with Section 21.1 for structures on Site Class F sites, unless exempted in accordance with Section 20.3.1.

A site response analysis in accordance with Section 21.1 and/or a ground motion hazard analysis in accordance with Section 21.2 could be performed to determine ground motions for any structure.
