SEISMIC GROUND MOTION AND LONG-PERIOD TRANSITION MAPS
Contained in this chapter are Figs. 22-1 through 22-20, which MCE Ground Motion, 5 percent damped spectral response accel-
provide the mapped Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) eration parameter at a period of 1 sec as defined in Section 11.4.1.
