10. The USGS computed that there is a 21% chance of and earthquake with magnitude >6.7 striking the Bay Area in the next 30 years (see slide in the lecture). What is the return period for such earthquake? Pe=21, n-30
11. Obtain PGA for 2% in 50 years earthquake for the following sites. Treasure Island (37.823,-122,369) and Cal Memorial Stadium (37.871,-122.251). Use the Coterminous US 2014 update edition and assume site class D/E for Treasure Island and site class B/C for the stadium site.
12. Determine the spectral accelerations for periods corresponding to the response of a3-story and a 10-story building on each site in Question 10. Copy the spectral acceleration plots and explain what they show
