Brad,
I'd be very skeptical about any Ss value that low in St Louis. If you
look at the seismic map from the IBC it shows some portions of the area
from St. Louis to Memphis as having an Ss value of 3.00. You can get
the exact Ss for a specific site by either talking with the site
structural - who has to have that information to do their job - or by
using the USGS program to determine the Ss value based on Lat/Long of an
address.
That kind of information is going to be covered in the webinar tomorrow.

Any St Louis, Mo forumites happen to know if AHJ requires Ss greater than
0.95, so that Cp would be greater than 0.50?
