1813.2.1 Peak Ground Acceleration
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Peak ground acceleration shall be determined based on either (1) a site-specific study taking into account soil amplification effects as specified in Section 11.4.7 of ASCE 7-10 or (2) the Maximum Considered Geometric Mean peak ground acceleration adjusted for Site Class effects PGAM as provided in Table 1813.2.1 without adjustment for targeted risk.
