2. End-Users Requirements
Hazard Maps for use in Seismic Loss Assessment
Ground Effects – inelastic site response, liquefaction
Topographical Effects – Hills, ridges, steep slopes
Background magnitude-distance pairs for scenario analysis
Spectral ordinates maps for a wide range of periods
Spectral ordinates maps with soil-structure interaction
Inelastic spectral ordinates maps
Guidelines on deterministic seismic hazard analysis
Many of the above for vertical earthquake motion
All of the above for mid-western regions
