Q6.3: In the text file, the spectral velocity and displacement is given in units of cm/s and cm. Is the g for spectral acceleration in cm/s^2 as well instead of the standard m/s^2?

By /

A: The Sa values are in terms of “g” – acceleration due to gravity. Multiply values by “g” (= 9.81 m/s^2) to obtain Sa in m/s^2.
