Spectral Acceleration
As per SBC 301 Figure 9.4.1(b) & Figure 9.4.1(k) the following are the acceleration parameters.
SS = 0.50 Spectral response acceleration parameter at short period
S1 = 0.18 Spectral response acceleration parameter at 1 sec period
FP = 1.6SDSIP
= 1.1200 Wp Seismic force upper limit
FP = 0.3SDSIP
= 0.2100 Wp Seismic force lower limit
