Major Changes in Spectral Shapes for Critical Facilities in Central and Eastern United States
The state of the art for development of earthquake response spectra to be used for analysis and design of critical facilities in the central and eastern United States (CEUS) has changed as new earthquakes have provided new data to consider. This chapter addresses the major changes in the earthquake response spectra beginning in the 1960s to 2010 and anticipated changes in the near future. These changes have come about based on experience and knowledge gained from earthquake occurrences and improved analysis techniques. The changes have, in general, increased the earthquake ground motions used for the design of critical facilities. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and Department of Energy (DOE) are also sponsoring a program to update the next generation of CEUS ground motion attenuation relationships.
