Abstract

The relationship of the design peak ground accelerations, earthquake frequency, and seismological conditions of a construction site for a performance-based design has been analyzed. The limitations of using the linear dependence of the repeatability logarithm on the earthquake intensity are given. Recommendations on how the new seismic scale can be used to solve engineering problems in designing structures in seismic areas are given. It is shown that the instrumental part of the new scale is quite acceptable for development of performance-based design. At the same time, in areas with a possible shaking intensity of more than IX, peak ground accelerations lose their importance for assessing seismic resistance, and there is a need to ration the input energy characteristics.
