ASCE 7-05

Step 1: Locate Site

Presidential Palace Hotel Karibe

ASCE 7-05

Step 2: Determine Ss and S1 for Rock Conditions

Spectral Accelerations with a 2% Probability of Exceedance in 50 years Ss = Short Period Spectral Acceleration (T = 0.2 sec, f = 5 Hz) S1 = 1-sec Period Spectral Acceleration (T = 1.0 sec, f = 1 Hz) Determined from PSHA by USGS (Frankel et al. 2010) Maps Provided in the GIS Database
Site Ss(g) S1(g) 0.6 0.7

Step 4: Determine Site Amplification Coefficients

F = Si Fa Site A Amplification lifi i Coefficient C ffi i for f Ss S pg. 115 ASCE 7-05

Fv = Site Amplification Coefficient for S1

ASCE 7-05

Step 4: Presidential Palace

F = Si Fa Site A Amplification lifi i Coefficient C ffi i for f Ss S

Ss = 1.75 g Fa = 1.0

Fv = Site Amplification Coefficient for S1

S1 = 0.6 g Fv = 1.5

Step 4: Hotel Karibe

F = Si Fa Site A Amplification lifi i Coefficient C ffi i for f Ss S

Ss = 2.0 g Fa = 1.0

Fv = Site Amplification Coefficient for S1

S1 = 0.7 g Fv = 1.3

Step 5: Determine SMs and SM1

Spectral Accelerations with a 2% Probability of Exceedance in 50 years Adjusted for Local Soil Conditions (Site Classification) Often Termed the Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) Spectral Accelerations pg 115 ASCE 7-05 pg.
