Three values of ground motion are shown, peak ground acceleration (Pga), spectral acceleration(sa) at short (0.2 second) and moderately long (1.0 second) periods. Ground motion values are also modified by the local site soil conditions. Each ground motion value is shown for 3 different site conditions: firm rock (conditions on the boundary between site categories B and C as defined by the building code), soft rock (site category C) and alluvium (site category D). Ground Motion Firm Rock Soft Rock Alluvium Pga Sa 0.2 sec Sa 1.0 sec NEHRP Soil Corrections were used to calculate Soft Rock and Alluvium. Ground Motion values were interpolated from a grid (0.05 degree spacing) of calculated values. Interpolated ground motion may not equal values calculated for a specific site, therefore these values are not intended for design or analysis.
