Spectral Accelerations in Wellington/Hutt as a percentage of SLS/ULS

January 30, 2018

The document in the link below provides a summary of the spectral accelerations at 0.3, 1, 1.5 and 2 seconds as a percentage of SLS and ULS design spectral accelerations for a typical building in the region.  Only Site subsoil class C and D are shown here (C outlined in cyan, D outlined in blue).  Sp = 1 used in these values.
