Seismic design values for Continent of Africa 2

[RiverBeav]

Just curious on whether there is seismic design values for Africa. I have a repair project that I am doing on a concrete structure, and just want to check for seismic loads, and curious if they were available. A quick google search hasn't turned up anything useful.

Here's a link to an old copy of the US Navy's Unified Facility Criteria for Structural Engineering. Appendix F, table F-3 may help some. It has seismic data for bases and cities around Africa. Sadly the newer versions excluded these tables. They have moved them elsewhere, but I haven't done any NAVFAC work in a few years so I'm not sure.

Thanks for the link, but couldn't find Appendix F, Table F-3, so maybe they already have the information removed.

Thanks

PhamEng's link is one good source

A few countries have published specific maps for their areas. Not many yet, but more every year.

You can also approximate seismic design values from a worldwide hazard map like GEM/GSHAP

Sorry. Wrong link. I updated it above. Page 153 of the pdf.

Probably better if you be more specific for the country rather than a continent ..

Just write SEISMICITY AFRICA and found the following documents..

You may look to the following links ..

If you search you can find PSHAs for Mozambique, Uganda etc
