Seismic Cat A Exception
Seismic Cat A Exception
(OP)
Just want to make sure I'm reading this right.
ASCE7-05 Section 11.4.1 allows use of Design Category A for locations where S1 and Ss are less than 0.04 and 0.15 respectively regardless of the site classification.
Others have questioned the use of this exception for site classes other than B since that is what the spectral response accelerations figures are based on.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
