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.

Subject: Seismic information Brownsville, TX - Monterrey, MX

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!
