Can anyone direct me to a site/reference with seismic information relating to Kuwait and lateral design per IBC 2003. I have been to the USGS site, but it doesn't give me tabulated information (only graphs and maps), nor does it provide any insight on seismic parameters like site class, etc.

Thanks.
