USGS Web Tools for Site-Specific Ground Motion Hazard Analysis

The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) is the leading non-profit membership organization that connects multidisciplinary professionals dedicated to advancing earthquake resilience in the United States and globally. Explore the many benefits of an EERI membership at eeri.org/join.
This webinar will demonstrate use of web tools from the USGS for site-specific ground motion hazard analysis in accordance with the ASCE/SEI 7-16 Standard ("Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures"). The webinar will also provide an opportunity for feedback on the USGS web tools from earthquake engineering users. ASCE/SEI 7-16, the most recent edition of the standard, requires site-specific ground motion hazard analysis for many more structures than did prior editions. For example, now site-specific analysis shall be performed for structures on Site Class D and E sites with S1 greater than or equal to 0.2g, with some exceptions.
