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.
