The following information are used for Seismic Zone 4 structures only!
Seismic Source Type Seismic Source Description
Faults that are capable of producing large magnitude events and that have a high rate of seismic activity

Seismic Source Definition

Maximum Moment Magnitude, M Slip Rate

M >= 7.0 M >= 7.0 M < 7.0 M >= 6.5 M < 6.5

SR >= 5 SR < 5 SR > 2 SR < 2 SR <= 2

All faults other than Types A and C Faults that are not capable of producing large magnitude earthquakes and that have a relatively low rate of seismic activity
