Maximum Considered Earthquake Geometric Mean Peak Ground Accelerations for the 2015 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions, 2016 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard, and 2018 International Building Code
The Maximum Considered Earthquake Geometric Mean (MCEG) peak ground acceleration (PGA) values of the 2015 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions, the 2016 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard, and the 2018 International Building Code can be calculated from the downloadable data via the following equations:
PGA = min[ PGA_UH, max( PGA_D84th , 0.5 ) ]
where
PGA_UH = uniform-hazard peak ground accelerations
PGA_D84th = 84th-percentile peak ground accelerations
The data cover six distinct geographic regions: 1) the conterminous United States, 2) Alaska, 3) Hawaii, 4) Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, 5) Guam and Northern Mariana Islands, and 6) American Samoa. DETAILED METADATA, ABOUT THE DATA FOR EACH GEOGRAPHIC AREA, CAN BE FOUND IN THE ZIP ARCHIVE TITLED: AllMetadataMCEG.zip
