Seismic Data for Spectral Analysis

Seismic Data for Spectral Analysis

Seismic Data for Spectral Analysis

(OP)
Hello,

Where can I find Maximum Considered Earthquake ground Motion Maps (MCE maps) and a set of ground motion maps based on a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years (10%/50 yr maps) for geographical regions within the United States?  Are there any programs suitable to generate response/force spectrums to use for pipe stress analysis for different soils conditions, locations, etc?  What seismic criteria are typically used for piping design?  I have used static analysis in the past.  Now, I would like to look at modal analysis with force spectrum.  Any comments regarding pros & cons for the different methods of seismic analysis would be appreciated.  Any recommended reading that discusses seismic analysis/loading for piping systems would be helpful as well.


Thanks for any help or opinions that you can provide.
