Book Description
A seismic zoning was developed for southeastern New England based on geologic structure and historic seismicity. Floating earthquakes were assigned for these zones and attenuated to the site. The site was found to be susceptible to a local earthquake (acceleration 0.16 g, velocity 13 cm/sec, and duration> or = 0.05 g of 4 sec) and a Cape Ann earthquake (acceleration 0.13 g, velocity 13 cm/sec, and duration> or = 0.05 g of 4 sec). Accelerograms and response spectra appropriate to these values were selected.
