I am in desperate need of some seismic information for the area around 
Monterrey Mexico,

Or someone familiar with the Mexican "Manual for Design of Seismic, CFE)?

Here's the data I've gotten.  I need to know if it parallels IBC as far as when 
EQ bracing is required or if it's totally different and how these numbers and 
descriptions relate to IBC?

"5.2.-  Seismic Data: (Per Manual of Design for Seismic, CFE)
Occupancy classification                         B
Structural System classification                 Type 1
Soil Profile Type                                From geotechnical report
Seismic Zone                                     A
Response Spectra                                 c= 0.16
Ta= 0.30
Tb= 1.50
R= 2/3
Ductility Factor                                 Q= 2"

Thanks!
