Maximum Ss and S1 in Southern California
Maximum Ss and S1 in Southern California
(OP)
I understand that this topic may be more related to Seismology Engineering, but i believe there's more traffic on this forum.
I'm working on a project that will require the knowledge of the maximum Ss and S1 for site class D in Southern California.
Can anyone point me in the right direction in order to find this information?
I understand we can use the tools at USGS to find site specific values, but I'm trying to find the maximum Ss and S1 in So-Cal.
The Occupancy category will be I, II or III and the governing code is the ASCE7-05
Thanks!

Or is this a generic structure that may be located anywhere in the state and you need to design a prototype?

Actually, i had to assume the entire state, since i didn't have much time for this submittal.
Still, numbers were reasonable.
Thanks again!
