IBC Existing Building Code "High Seismic Zone"?
IBC Existing Building Code "High Seismic Zone"?
(OP)
The IBC Existing Building Code uses the term "in high seismic zones...". I connot find a definition for that in either the existing building code or the main IBC. What am I missing? Thanks.

high seismic zones? i don't know the "official" definition. i would presume it'd be several places in california, new madrid, charleston (big red spots on the usgs maps + a few others like eastern TN).

It is USGS, and the 1 should have been a 7 in the thread. I really screwed up that one. Senior moment(s).
