I am unsure if ASCE-7 is more suitable for onshore usage and if there is some ISO or API standard that are more suitable for this end case.

I am totally ignorant or Norwegian or European codes, I'm not sure if they would be relevant to US companies either.

Any advice on standards, or should direct measurements of spectral accelerations be sought for existing structures?
