The construction of a medium-rise building (15 storeys) has been proposed for a site in central Italy and the structural design team has requested a design response spectrum (as per EC8 provisions) for a seismic event of M < 5.5. The probabilistic seismic hazard assessment suggested a peak ground acceleration of agR = 0.3g. The building is classified as importance class 3. You can consider a damping ratio equal to 3%. The shear wave velocity at the site was determined based on seismic refraction surveys and equal to Vs = 150 m/s.
