Step 1: Determine the mapped maximum considered
earthquake spectral response acceleration at
short periods, SS, and at 1-second period, S1,
for the site location from Code Figures 1615(1)
through 1615(10).

but that map is useless for me so what can i do?

RE: earthquake IN IBC 2003

Check with seismic study/research groups to find if there is data collected for the region under consideration.

RE: earthquake IN IBC 2003

The USGS has produced design data for the US an its territories. If you are outside of these regions, perhaps the IBC is not the governing code.

 As Dr. Ghosh points out "there is nothing international about the International Building Code".

RE: earthquake IN IBC 2003

Engineering principles have no boundaries, but preferences.
However, material properties and geological conditions varies from rigion to region, you need to collect those data locally to be practical and safe.
