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
Gianfranco - Italy
 
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.
 
Please excuse me. I didn't read the post carefully.
