SEMINAR: CHANGES BETWEEN ASCE 7-05 AND ASCE 7-10
1. Changes in the mapped response spectra values for updated source zone model and attenuation relationships:
2. Changes in the mapped response spectra values for updated source zone model, attenuation relationships, and for changing to risk-targeted ground motions [click here to download the technical paper mentioned during the seminar for a detailed discussion on the change from uniform hazard response spectra to risk-targeted response spectra]:
