using the site-specific subsurface information from all soil borings G.{s., data) and
Downhole Seismic testing results, we develop the recofirmended surface elastic
response spectra for 5Yo damping for 500 and 2500 year events.
The empirical approach accounts for average site amplification of global recording
data from different seismic environments for both subduction and shallow crustal
(background),
that
SHAKE can over damp high frequencies (low period) motions when site response is
strongly non-linear, we then use appropriate weighting factors to establish the design
response spectral accelerations at ground surface.
Figure 26A &.268 shows the design spectral amplification factor at ground
surface that envelopes the average (equal weight)
results at

amplification due to basin effects was applied by multiplying the computed spectral
