Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake Spectral Response Accelerations for the 2015 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions, 2016 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard, and 2018 International Building Code
The Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) spectral response acceleration (S_S and S_1) values of the 2015 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions, the 2016 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard, and the 2018 International Building Code are calculated from the downloadable data via the following equations:
S_S = min[ S_SUH * …
