1. Seismic Ground Motion
Step 1: Determine ground motion spectral response acceleration
Ground motions acceleration are determined from Figure 9.4.1. These include:
SS : Earthquake spectral response acceleration at short periods
(figure 9.4.1 (b)~(i))
S1 : Earthquake spectral response acceleration at 1-second periods
(figure9.4.1 (j)~(q))
Step 2: Determine Site Class
Site Cl ass i s determi ned based on the site soi l properti es, it shal l be classifi ed as Site A, B, C ,D, E or F

4. Direction of Loading
Category A and B, the design seismic forces are permitted to be applied separately in each of two
orthogonal directions.
Category C and plan structural irregularity Type 5 (Table 10.3.2.1) shall be analyzed for seismic
forces using a three dimensional representation as 100% of the forces for one direction plus 30% of
the forces for the perpendicular direction.
