In the central and eastern United States (CEUS) seismic hazard is distinct compared to the western United States (WUS) due to lower earthquake recurrence rates, generally slower attenuation of wave propagation, unique site response, and increased high-frequency content in ground motion. These differences have profound implications for performance-based design. In the CEUS, ground motion data for harder bedrock (Vs= 2,000 m/s) is more appropriate than the conventional (Vs= 760 m/s) data. Spectral accelerations caused by small and medium events are on the order of 5-15% of the MCE, on average, for the CEUS, compared to 13-20% of the MCE for the WUS. As a result, serviceability-level ground motions are unlikely to be significant for new buildings. In the CEUS, hazard is often dominated by distant earthquakes and overall duration of ground motion is likely to be longer, inferring that non-ductile structures may be more susceptible to damage.
