Determination of Standard Response Spectra and Effective Peak Ground Accelerations for Seismic Design and Evaluation

Abstract

The purpose of this Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) is to demonstrate the use of DEQAS-R, a computer software program developed by Yule et al. (2005) to generate standard acceleration response spectra and effective peak ground accelerations for seismic design and evaluation of structural features of projects under the responsibility of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Standard acceleration response spectra and effective peak ground accelerations are needed in the early stages of project development since they can be used as a starting point for preliminary seismic designs and evaluations and determining the need for more refined analyses.
