Spectral response Acceleration Ss & S1 for areas other than U.S.

[gaijin2004]

Anyone who can teach me the values of spectral acceleration Ss & S1 of iran? We have a project located in that country using IBC 2000 code for seismic load calculation. the problem is, the contour maps provided in the IBC 2000 (also in ASCE 98) is for US only, how can we get the values of Ss & S1 for the said location? any links/info provided is greatly appreciated. thank you very much!

I suggest that you contact the local university's Civil Engineering Department. The structures section likely has the required data, or data from which you could develop the S1 and S2 values.

I suggest you contact the Iran-based International Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (

or the Eathquake Engineering Research Institute (

Another useful online resource may be the Earthquake Engineering Abstracts Database (
