Seismic Code

START-PROF Calculate Seismic acceleration according to selected code:

• User defined acceleration

• NP 031-01

• SNiP II-7-81

• SP 14.13330.2018

• GB 50011-2010

Region seismicity

Construction region seismicity (7, 8, 9 points on the MSK-64 scale)

Site seismicity

Construction site seismicity (6, 7, 8, 9, 10 points)

Site soil category

I, II, III. Table 1 SNIP II-7-81*, table 1 SP 14.13330.2018, appendix 1 NP-031-01

Vertical seismic acceleration factor

Equal to the correlation of maximum (peak) vertical soil acceleration and maximum (peal) horizontal soil acceleration. Set based on seismic microzoning data. In the absence of data, should be set as  0.7. More...

Factor K1

0.125-1.0. Table 3 SNIP II-7-81*, table 5 SP 14.13330.2018. The following values are recommended:

• when using GOST R 55596-2013: 0.25

• when using SP 36.13330.2012:  for category I - 0.625, II - 0.5, III - 0.25

• when using SNIP 2.05.06-85*: for category В - 0.625, I - 0.5, II, III, IV - 0.25

• when using RD 10-249-98: for category Is - 0.625, IIs - 0.5

• when using GOST 32388-2013: for pipelines of special importance, the functioning of which cannot be disrupted after an earthquake (containing dangerous products, fire extinguishing systems) 0.625, for pipelines the functioning of which is not crucial after an earthquake - 0.25. For others, 0.5.
