PROVISIONS COMMENTARY

Ag
seismic 1.5 L0
C2
Where
Ag = Maximum ground acceleration in
direction normal to the direction of
propagation of ground wave
generated by design earthquake
C = Velocity of seismic wave propagation
= Cs, for S waves, (2.0 km/s may be
considered conservatively)
= Cr_ph, for R-waves (0.5 km/s may be
considered conservatively)

7.3.4 –
The design joint rotation should be less than
the allowable joint rotation specified by the
