Common use of Seismic Loads Clause in Contracts

Seismic Loads. Seismic loads will be calculated in conformance with Code established parameters. Project specific variables to be considered in the calculation of seismic which can be established at this time are the level of seismicity of the site, and the Site (Soil) Classification. Risk Category II Spectral Acceleration SS = 1.056 S1 = 0.375 Site Class C or D Site Coefficient Fa = 1.078 Fv = TBD Seismic Design Category D Component Importance Factor Ip = 1.0 Items for Clarification
