 The recommended choice is the use
of two types of vertical spectra: Type 1 and Type 2. As for the spectra defining the horizo

m/s2 components of the seismic action, if the earthquakes that contribute most to the seismic
(DCM) defined for the site for the purpose of probabilistic hazard assessment have a surface-wa
magnitude, Ms, not greater than 5,5, it is recommended that the Type 2 spectrum is ado
