| Objective | OS2 Structural Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Determination of design spectral response acceleration
values, S(T), to be used in earthquake design and analysis of buildings.

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the earthquake design and
analysis will not take into account how site amplifications affect the response
of buildings subjected to ground motions, which could lead to structural failure,
which could lead to harm to persons. Intent 2: To clarify how intermediate values of the design spectral
response acceleration, S(T), are to be determined. |
