Kuwaiti building code - seismic information
Can anyone direct me to a site/reference with seismic information relating to Kuwait and lateral design per IBC 2003.

Wind & Snow Loads in/near Halifax, Nova Scotia
YukonOne, I suggest that you read the NBCC 2005, as well as the NBCC 1995, as there are different load combinations as well as different probability-of-exceedence criteria between the two codes (i.e. 1/30 snow is no longer applicable). NBCC 2005 came into force thoughout Canada recently.- DSTeng
