"Steve Leyton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/14/2008 10:34 AM Please respond to sprinklerforum To <[email protected]> cc Subject RE: Seismic information Brownsville, TX - Monterrey, MX Not familiar with the Mexican standard, but to calculate per 13, 2007 ed. go to the USGS website "hazmaps" page, http://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/hazmaps/design/ and download the java ground motion parameter calculator. Keep this on your desktop. Then, go to http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html Input the address of the project (anywhere in the world) and get the Lat/Long coordinates. Back to your calculator and input the coordinates; at the top where it says "Select Analysis Option", choose "ASCE 7 Standard." It will give you the coefficient that is used to determine Cp in Table 9.3.5.6.2.

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!
