Scope of Work
1. Identify seismic sources possible to generate strong ground shaking at the site;
2. Characterize the identified earthquake sources in terms of location and geometries, maximum
earthquake magnitudes, and frequency of earthquake occurrence;
7. Select Eleven (11) pairs of ground motion suites and match/scale to both the 5.0%-damped
target spectrums for Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) Level in accordance to the
procedures by Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures
(ASCE 7-16) Chapter 11, Chapter 17, Chapter 21 and related section.
*Fling effect shall be considered for a near-source condition on a minimum of three ground
motion suites.
*Vertical acceleration time-history shall be included for each ground motion suite in case of near-
fault situation (fault distances <15km for Mw > 7 and <10km for Mw> 6 earthquakes)
8. Perform Site-Specific Response Analysis in case that ASCE 7-16 Chapter 21 conditions are met
upon review of the geotechnical informations submitted.
