In addition, if needed, <br />crushed rock and or geogrids for bridging, etc. can also be used. This will be determined <br />by the geotechnical consultant based on the exposed conditions during the excavations at <br />the site. <br /> <br />Seismicity <br /> <br />The subject site is located in Southern California, which is a major earthquake-prone <br />zone. Therefore, the owner(s) of this property should be aware of the seismic risks <br />associated with being located in this zone. <br /> <br />The Soil Site Class D Default can be used for the soils underlying the subject site. <br /> <br />The Seismic Design Category D can be used for the site. <br /> <br />The following seismic parameters obtained from the computer program https:// <br />seismicmaps.org prepared by SEAOC [Structural Engineers Association Of <br />California] in conjunction with California’s Office of Statewide Health Planning and <br />Development [OSHPD] ) in accordance with ASCE7-16 can be used for the site. <br /> <br />• Fa = 1.2 <br />• Fv = null* <br /> <br />• Mapped Spectral Accelerations Values: <br /> <br />Ss = 1.293 (for the short period of 0.2 second) <br />S1 = 0.463 (for the 1-second period) <br /> <br />• Maximum Considered Earthquake Spectral Response Accelerations:
