Subject: Site-Specific Seismic Hazard Analyses and Design Ground Motion

Scope of Work

1. Identify seismic sources possible to generate strong ground shaking at the site;

2. Characterize the identified earthquake sources in terms of location and geometries, maximum
earthquake magnitudes, and frequency of earthquake occurrence;

3. Characterize source to site ground motion attenuation;

4. Generate uniform-hazard seismic hazard curves corresponding to return periods of 43 years,

475 years, and 2475 years;

5. Develop a Design Earthquake (DE) spectrum in reference to ASCE 7-16.

6. Develop Site-Specific Spectra corresponding to seismic performance levels of Service-Level

Earthquake* (43-year return period), Design-Basis Earthquake (DBE) (5% damping, 475-year
return period), and Maximum Considered Earthquake** (MCE) (5% damping, 2475-year return
period).
*Damping for SLE shall conform with requirements of Los Angeles Tall Buildings Structural Design
Council (LATBSDC) Consensus Document 2017 Edition with 2018 Supplements (March 20,2018)
**MCE Spectrum for both Horizontal and Vertical Direction in accordance to the procedures by
Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-16)
Chapter 11, Chapter 17, Chapter 21 and related sections.

7. Select Eleven (11) pairs of ground motion suites and match/scale to both the 5.0%-damped
target spectrums for Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) Level in accordance to the
procedures by Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures
(ASCE 7-16) Chapter 11, Chapter 17, Chapter 21 and related section.
*Fling effect shall be considered for a near-source condition on a minimum of three ground
motion suites.
*Vertical acceleration time-history shall be included for each ground motion suite in case of near-
fault situation (fault distances <15km for Mw > 7 and <10km for Mw> 6 earthquakes)

8. Perform Site-Specific Response Analysis in case that ASCE 7-16 Chapter 21 conditions are met
upon review of the geotechnical informations submitted.
