California Amendments to Seismic Parameters in 2006 IBC

[moe333]

Hi, Does anyone know if there are California amendments to the seismic soil parameters SDs and SM1 in the new IBC? I have the California code on order but it has been delayed.

Thanks

i can't help with your question but i've got one: does california have different SDs and SD1 values that the IBC/USGS maps and if so, are they more or less conservative than the IBC/USGS maps (and guestimate a percentage of by how much)? is CA the only state to do this? thanks.
