Data supporting the publication: Determination of design seismic actions for buildings according to the second generation of Eurocode 8: How can these actions be estimated for tall buildings?

This dataset includes supporting data for the publication "Determination of design seismic actions for buildings according to the second generation of Eurocode 8: How can these actions be estimated for tall buildings?".If UHS spectra are used, in which all points of the spectrum are defined probabilistically, lower values of seismic action for tall buildings would be obtained compared with the elastic spectrum of Type 1 of the first generation. This statement is illustrated by comparing the UHS spectrum with the Type 1 and Type 2 spectra for the city of Zagreb, Croatia (Giardini et al. 2013, Causevic et al. 2023), which was hit by a strong earthquake in 2020 (Atalic et al. 2021). UHS spectra is generated on the base of the public online data of the SHARE project (Giardini et al. 2013).The second-generation spectrum is defined deterministically, with several of its points determined in a probabilistic way.Two spectra are defined according to EN 1998-1-1 (Eurocode 8 2022) for high and low seismicity.
