Note – Site Class B is no longer the “reference” site class of MCER ground motion parameters Ss and S1 (i.e., new coefficients reflect Site Class BC boundary of 2,500 f/s) and Site Class D is no longer the “default” site class (since Site Class C amplification is greater in some cases)

ELF “Design Spectrum” Cs x (R/Ie) = min[SDS, SD1/T]
Root Cause of the “Problem” (discovered by the late in the 2015 NEHRP Provisions update cycle)
• Section 11.4 of ASCE 7-10 (and ASCE 7-16) - Use of only two response periods (0.2s and 1.0s) to define ELF (and MRSA) design forces is not sufficient, in general, to accurately represent response spectral acceleration for all design periods
– Reasonably Accurate (or Conservative) – When peak MCER response spectral acceleration occurs at or near 0.2s and peak MCER response spectral velocity occurs at or near 1.0s for the site of interest (i.e., frequency content matches the shape of the design response spectrum, Figure 11.4-1)
– Potentially Non-conservative – When peak MCER response spectral velocity occurs at periods greater than 1.0s for the site of interest (e.g., soil sites whose seismic hazard is dominated by large magnitude events)

Short-Term Solution Options (considered by the 2010 PUC)
• Option 1 - Re-formulate seismic parameters to eliminate potential non-conservatism in ELF (and MRSA) seismic forces
• Option 2 - Require site-specific analysis when ELF (and MSRA) seismic forces could be potentially non-conservative
Short-Term Solution of ASCE 7-16 (to an identified short-coming in the seismic design procedures of ASCE 7-10)
• BSSC PUC Considered Two Options: – Re-formulate seismic parameters to eliminate potential non-
conservatism in ELF (and MRSA) seismic forces (not adopted) – Require site-specific analysis when ELF (and MRSA) seismic
forces could be potentially non-conservative (adopted)
• FEMA-funded BSSC study performed by Kircher & Associates that developed the technical approach and basis for proposing changes to current seismic criteria – Developed new values of re-formulated parameters (Option 1) – Developed criteria for requiring site-specific analysis (Option 2)
• Developed conservative values of current seismic parameters for design using ELF (and MRSA) methods in lieu of site-specific analysis

Acceleration Domain

Displacement Domain TS = SD1/SDS
SD1 = 2/3 x SM1 = 2/3 x Cv x Fv x S1
Cs = SDS/(R/Ie) T ≤ Ts
Cs = SD1/T(R/Ie) Ts < T ≤ TL
SDS = 2/3 x SMS = 2/3 x Ca x Fa x Ss Spectrum Shape Adjustment Factors
Ca = f{Ss, SC} ≥ 0.9 Cv = f{S1, SC, TL} ≥ 1.0
Long-Term Solution (Project 17/ASCE 7-22) • Develop and adopt multi-period design spectrum approach
– Not feasible in the last code update cycle (ASCE 7-16) • Multi-period spectrum approach will require:
– Reworking of seismic design requirements and criteria now based on two response periods
– Development of new ground motion design parameters (by the USGS) for each new response period of interest
– Development of new site factors for each new response period of interest (or site effects embedded directly in ground motion design values maps)
• Challenges: – Non-WUS sites? – Multi-period GMPEs with built-in site
amplification are not available for all U.S. regions – Too Many Maps (Too Many Tables)? – Can ground motion
design parameters be provided electronically (e.g., via the web) without direct inclusion in ASCE 7 or the IBC?

Sacramento Bee Article – June 24, 2007 New data shake quake strategy – Analysis of foreign disasters may allow state to ease strict building codes “Deierlein, deputy director of the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Center at UC Berkeley, is among dozens of consultants, professors and government scientists who toiled to understand implications of data from Taiwan, Turkey and other recent deadly quakes. The result was a set of five “attenuation” equations that can be used to predict how much a given quake, in a given spot, will make different types of ground shudder miles away. For much of California, that means 10 percent to 35 percent less shaking, said Youssef Bozorgnia, associate director of the quake research center at Berkeley. ‘We are so proud of these’ equations, Bozorgnia said, because they could reduce construction costs by hundreds of millions of dollars in much of coastal California, where new or retrofitted buildings would not need to be as robust.”
