seismic parameters to UBC 97

(OP)
Hi,
I'm designing tank on unbraced legs to seismic and wind load according to UBC 97, the project location is outside US, exactly in middle east region, Could some one help :How can I get the seismic Map of other countries, and all parameters, soil type, wind speed, ..etc.
Thank you.

Laurent.

RE: seismic parameters to UBC 97

Laurent,

You will have to obtain design guidance on site-specific input parameters from the host jurisdiction or published research papers. Alternately, you could perform in-situ tests to derive the numbers.

Good Luck,

Jeff

Local codes are the best sources. Most of the countries in that region has their own codes and published atandards.
