Description | The seismic hazard at Vandenberg AFB was investigated using both statistical analysis of the temporal and spatial distribution of historic earthquake activity within 500 km of Point Arguello, California, and deterministic methods based on knowledge of earthquake faults and recency of faulting near the installation. The results of these studies included probabilistic estimates of peak ground motions and maximum credible ground motions at Vandenberg AFB. This information was used to generate horizontal design response spectra which are more directly applicable for the analysis of the behavior of engineering structures to earthquake induced motions |
