Subject: Spectral Acceleration using 2006 IBC
To get the long and short spectral accelerations for designing earthquake
forces I have gone to the USGS website with the required latitude and
longitude. However, the website lists 2 values for each, a 10%PE in 50 yrs.
and a 2%PE in 50 years. Which of these sets of values am I to use when
designing to the 2006 IBC?
Thanks in Advance,
Larry Hauer S.E.
