2017 SEAOC CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS. New Site-Specific Ground Motion Requirements of ASCE 7-16. Charles A. Kircher, , , Principal Kircher & Associates, Consulting Engineers Palo Alto, California Abstract Requirements for buildings, Chapter 21 which describes site- specific earthquake Ground Motion procedures and Chapter 22. This paper describes the seismic design criteria of ASCE 7-16 which provides maps of risk-adjusted maximum considered and specifically the new Requirements for Site-Specific Ground earthquake (MCER) earthquake Ground Motion parameters (Ss motions.)
the new site-specific ground motions requirements of ASCE 7-16 now require design ground motions to be based on a site-specific hazard analysis for most Site Class D and E sites. In lieu of performing a site-specific analysis, the new site-specific design requirements include exceptions that permit ELF (and
