4.4.1. Design Acceleration Spectrum Reduced Under Horizontal Earthquake
4.7 and 4.8.2 which are given in the calculation method in the horizontal direction reduced seismic loads ' s to be used for determining reduced design acceleration spectrum 's specific T with the ordinate for the natural vibration period of reduced design spectral acceleration of S R ( T ) , Eq. (4.8) It is defined by:
Wherein S aa ( T ) , 02.02 defined in formula DD-2 earthquake motion Eq. (2.2) determined by the horizontal elastic design spectral acceleration , expand R ( T a ) is from Eq. (4.1) defined by Seismic Load Reduction Factor It shows.
