Code and for all intent and purposes the exact numerical values have no practical
significance. The numerical values for PC 1 and PC 2 are no longer exact for the seismic
provisions of the IBC 2000 which primarily intends to provide uniform margin of collapse
for PC 1 SSCs throughout the United States.
The required degree of conservatism in the deterministic acceptance criteria is a function
of the specified risk reduction ratio. Table C-3 provides a set of seismic hazard exceedance
probabilities, PH and risk reduction ratios, RR for Performance Categories 1 through 4 required to
achieve the seismic performance goals specified in Table C-1. Note that Table C-3 follows the
philosophy of:
Annual seismic hazard exceedance of 4 x 10-4 (generally) based on IBC2000 for PC-1
1)
and PC-2, and PC-3 but 1 x 10-4 for PC-4.
2)
gradual reduction in hazard annual exceedance probability of other natural
phenomena hazards.
3)
gradual increase in conservatism of evaluation procedure as one goes from
Performance Category 1 to Performance Category 4 (PC 1 to PC 4).

The seismic exceedence probability is based on USGS maps generated in 1997 (and
included in IBC 2000) for 2% exceedence probabiity in 50 years. PH = 4x10-4
(Generally). Supplement by deterministic ground motions near very active faults.

The design methodology of the IBC 2000 for Seismic Use Groups I and III achieves
approximately performance goals of PC-1 & PC-2 respectively though it does not meet
the relationship shown in equation C-1 for the seismic provisions.
