Trinidad and Tobago - Ss and S1

Trinidad and Tobago - Ss and S1

Trinidad and Tobago - Ss and S1

(OP)
Folks,
Is there anyone who has worked on projects in T&T who would happen to know the Ss and S1 values for design per ASCE 7/IBC 2003.

I have values of Ss=171%g and S1=68%g from the Unified Facilities Criteria Report.

Any inputs?

RE: Trinidad and Tobago - Ss and S1

Interesting:  

The UFC copy I have from 25 May, 2005, including change 2 of 5 December 2007, shows Ss = 111.8%g, and S1 = 44.7%g.

Look at page D-14 Table D-2, under Trinidad Island

Table E-1 (page E-7) gives the value that you are mentioning. However, Scarborough is in Tobago.
