Maximum Considered Earthquake Geometric Mean Peak Ground Accelerations for the 2009 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions and 2010 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard
The Maximum Considered Earthquake Geometric Mean (MCEG) peak ground acceleration (PGA) values of the 2009 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions and the 2010 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard are calculated from the data in the downloadable files below, via the following equations:
PGA = min[ PGAUH , max( PGAD84th , 0.6 ) ] for the 2009 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions;
PGA = min[ PGAUH , max( PGAD84th , 0.5 ) ] for the 2010 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard;
where
PGAUH = uniform-hazard peak ground acceleration;
PGAD84th = 84th-percentile peak ground acceleration.
These peak ground accelerations are each for the geometric mean of two horizontal components and a site shear wave velocity (VS30) of 760 m/s. For more information, see Chapters 11, 21, and 22 of the 2009 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions and the 2010 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard.
Note: The USGS Seismic Design Web Services first spatially interpolate the uniform-hazard (PGAUH) and 84th-percentile (PGAD84th) gridded values, and then combine the interpolated values via the equation above. If instead one first combines the gridded values (via the equation above) and then spatially interpolates, the resulting values will not necessarily be equal to those from the web services. For deterministic values, the lower limit should be applied before interpolating.
