spectral map acceleration

[structech08]

Dear All,

For those living outside USA (do not have spectral map acceleration outside USA) who wants to adapt the earthqauke provisions of ASCE 7, how do we compute or convert the UBC 97 provisions to get the ASCE seimic parameters like Ss, S1, etc?

Thank you for your kind attention.

You can create a custom spectrum function.

Hi Johnbridge231,

Thank you.

You can look for the information on Ss and S1 in the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), which has information for a lot of locations. It can be found here. Look in Table F-2.
