element to help evaluate soil capacity for water quality treatment. The CEC tests and organic <br /> content tests were performed by AMTest Laboratories.

Our recommendations are provided in the following sections. <br /> 7.1 SEISMIC DESIGN CRITERIA <br /> 7.1.1 IBC Parameters <br /> Based on our explorations and analysis,the following design parameters can be applied if the <br /> structures are designed using"the applicable provisions of the 2015•IBC. The.parameters in <br /> Table 2 should be used to compute seismic base shear forces (IBC, 2015). <br /> Table 2.
