| Application | Application 1: Ground motion histories to be used in the Numerical
Integration Linear Time History Method for earthquake design and analysis
of buildings.

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the acceleration time-histories
used in the numerical time-history method will not be spectrum-compatible
and 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 direct Code users to Sentence 4.1.8.4.(6) for the
determination of the design spectral response acceleration values, S(T), and
their intermediate values. |
