CHAPTER 22 —SEISMIC GROUND MOTION LONG-PERIOD
TRANSITION AND RISK COEFFICIENT MAPS
22.1 —Seismic Maps
This Chapter contains the following maps:
(a) Risk-targeted Maximum Considered
Earthquake (𝑀𝐶𝐸𝑅 ) Ground Motions
Maps: Figure 22-1 and Figure 22-2
provide the risk-targeted maximum
considered earthquake (𝑀𝐶𝐸𝑅 ) ground
motion parameters 𝑆𝑆 and 𝑆1 ;
(b) Risk Coefficient Maps- Figure 22-5 and
Figure 22-6 provide the risk coefficients
𝐶𝑅𝑆 and 𝐶𝑅1 ;
(c) Long-Period Transition Map-Figure 22-4
provides the long-period transition periods
𝑇𝐿 for use in applying the seismic
provisions of this code;
(d) Maximum Considered Earthquake
Geometric Mean (𝑀𝐶𝐸𝐺 ) PGA Maps
Figure 22-3 provides the maximum
considered earthquake geometric mean
(𝑀𝐶𝐸𝐺 ) peak ground accelerations as a
percentage of g for Site Class B.
where, SS is the risk-targeted 𝑀𝐶𝐸𝑅 , 5 percent
damped, spectral response acceleration parameter at
short periods as defined in Section 11.4.1; 𝑆1 is the
risk-targeted 𝑀𝐶𝐸𝑅 ground motion, 5 percent
damped, spectral response acceleration parameter at
a period of 1 s as defined in Section 11.4.1; 𝐶𝑅𝑆 is
the mapped risk coefficient at short periods used in
Section 21.2.1.1 ; 𝐶𝑅1 is the mapped risk coefficient
at a period of 1 s used in Section 21.2.1.1; 𝑇𝐿 is the
mapped long-period transition period used in
Section 11.4.4
