Java Ground Motion Parameter Calculator
| Purpose: |
Retrieve seismic design parameter values from:
- seismic building code reference documents at sites in the U.S. and its Territories
- 2002/96 USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps
|
| Note: |
The Calculator is a Java Application (™), and it requires an active internet connection to retrieve data from USGS servers. |
| Input: |
Latitude and longitude, or ZIP code
Site Class (optional for some building code reference documents)
Building code reference document:
- 2009/06/04/03/00 International Building Code
- 2006/04/03/00 International Residential Code
