Software that implements seismic codes for the various countries is available directly from contributors. Maps and charts are included for many entries. Edited by Robin K. McGuire. This volume summarizes probabilistic seismic hazard assessment as it is practiced in seismically active countries throughout the world. Fifty-nine reports, covering 88 countries are included.
Many entries contain epicentral and seismic zoning maps as well as extensive references.
This manual provides criteria and guidance for the design of structures to resist the effects of earthquakes. It includes the seismic design of buildings, as well as architectural components, mechanical and electrical equipment supports, some structures other than buildings, and utility systems. Chapter 16, Division IV-Earthquake Design in volume 2 of the the UBC provides specifications for earthquake resistant design and a seismic zone map for the United States. This excerpt does not contain the specifications for earthquake resistant desgin or the seismic zoning map of the United States. A reference request form is available on this web site for you to initiate a request for code information on a particular country or countries.
