Figure 40: Comparison of median response spectra predicted by the model developed in this study<br />

(solid curves) <strong>and</strong> predicted by Sadigh et al. (1997) (dashed curves) <strong>for</strong> firm soil. A VS30 of 310 m/s<br />

was used to represent the average conditions <strong>for</strong> Sadigh et al.’s (1997) soil model.<br />
