Seismic Data (Site Class / Soil Class)
Seismic Data (Site Class / Soil Class)
(OP)
I am working on a new truck weigh station(Marshall, IL) about 50 miles west of Terre Haute, IN. The building is very small only 30' x 30'........I was told to assume 2000 psf for the allowable bearing pressure and just verify this later at time of excavation. However, this is a state job and they are requesting seismic data be put on our note sheet. I know I can get the Seismic Design Cat out of the 2006 IBC, but does anyone know where I can get information on the soil site class?? I highly doubt a website would give information on soil site class, but just looking for others opinions. Thank you!!

Since you are using a bearing capacity of 2000 psf, it could be a Class D. But don't take my word for it.
