Site Classes ASCE 7-16

How does ideCAD define site classes according to ASCE 7-16?

Site Class selection is made from the table according to the local soil class given in the site survey report prepared per ASCE 7-16 Table 20.3-1. If the site class is F, data is entered from the Analysis Settings / Response Spectrum tab.

When the site class is F, users should enter spectral acceleration parameters and site coefficients from the response spectrum section in the analysis settings.
