Hello there!
Greetings for the day!
I have been thinking for a while about this and hence putting it before you for my better understanding.
Refer Annex-E (Seismic Design of Storage Tanks):
What is the meaning of "The Design level Peak Ground acceleration parameter (Sp)and what is the unit of this value. What does %g implies?
Take one case, Suppose the value of Sp is 0.36g, then either it means that this equals to 0.36 m/s2 or if it means 0.36 x 9.81 m/s2?

And for my Indian seniors out there, please tell me one thing. How can I relate 'Peak ground accn'(Sp) to Indian Zone factor(z)?

Your positive response will be highly solicited.

regards
