| Description: | Technical Report Abstract: A seismic zoning was developed for eastern Pennsylvania and adjacent states based on the geology and the historic seismicity. Floating earthquakes were assigned to those zones in the absence of identifiable active faults, the Prompton and Francis E. Walter Damsites, motions were far field, MM VI, acceleration 0.12g, velocity 7 cm/sec, and 3 sec bracketed duration ≥ 0.05g. Accelerograms and response spectra appropriate to these parameters were selected. |
