Specifies the seismic importance factor, I, as defined in Table 16-K. The calculated spectrum accelerations are multiplied by this value to generate the horizontal shock spectrum. Values range from 1.0 to 1.25 based on the function of the structure.

For this code, the vertical shock spectrum is also multiplied by the importance factor.
