Changes to Seismic
Too many changes to the seismic provisions to go
through all of them.
We will look at the changes to the horizontal
ground motions and the new site factors.
We will briefly look at the changes to Chapter 16.

Project 17
Joint BSSC USGS project to develop
consensus between earth science and
geotechnical communities as to basis for maps
in ASCE 7-22
Initiated in February 2013
Will complete mid-year 2018 with publication
of preliminary maps for ASCE 7-22

Project 17
Multi-period spectra
Precision vs. Uncertainty
Small changes in earth science mean radical
change in contours
Maps change significantly every cycle
Changes are not statistically significant

Chapter 16 Changes
Big Picture
ASCE 7-10
Chapter 16 covered linear
and nonlinear response
history analysis
ASCE 7-16
Chapter 16 limited to
nonlinear response history
analysis
Linear moved to Chapter 12
Conducted at Design
Earthquake shaking
Acceptance values = 2/3 of
failure level demands
Alternate procedure to ELF,
RSA

Changes to Wind
New/Revised Wind Maps
New MRI/Map for Risk Category IV Structures
based on reliabilities consistent with new Table
1.3.1.3a.
Revised all maps to incorporate more stations,
additional years of data, and updated
analysis/modeling methods.
