First o all: tanks for the cooperation

I need to buy the UBC 1997, but I was unable to understand if in the UBC 1997 are contained the seismic and wind design data of all world.
For me is an important information.

Best regards

The edition of the UBC 97 that I have includes the United States, Guam, and Puerto Rico for seismic and wind design.
 
Even the UBC 1997 are contained the seismic and wind design data of other countries, I don't think you can use it. You see, every country has its design and load code
 
I see in the 97 UBC Appendix 16 cities in Italy vary in seismic zone 2A or 3. Brindisi is 0. Gianfranco is not specifically listed.

I see no mention of design windspeeds neither in Ch16, nor the appendix for outside the US.
 
AlohaBob....Gianfranco is not a town in Italy. Gianfranco is his name, he comes from Italy.
