What structure?
What useage?
What material?

Do you mean required, or allowable?

i mean allowable.. material is the concrete.
 
is there any provision in IBC or ASCE that response spectrum analysis deflection/drift criteria is different from equivalent static method?
 
kamagi,

depends on your local code.

What is the source of the ground movement?
 
Do you mean lateral story drift?
