Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake Spectral Response Accelerations for the 2009 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions and 2010 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard
For designing buildings and other structures to safely resist earthquakes, the 2009 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions and the 2010 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard contain maps of Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) spectral response accelerations and maps of Maximum Considered Earthquake Geometric Mean (MCEG) peak ground accelerations. Identical values from the MCER maps are also in the 2013 ASCE/SEI 41 Standard and the 2012 and 2015 editions of the International Building Code. The MCER and MCEG ground motion maps are derived from USGS National Seismic Hazard Models via the gridded values of this data release. The data files in the "Child Items" below also underlie the corresponding USGS Seismic Design Web Services. See the "Related External Resources" below for links to the building code reference documents, the USGS National Seismic Hazard Models used, and the corresponding USGS web services.
