I'd just go to the website the list instead; http://eqhazmaps.usgs.gov.  From there, if you go to the link for Seismic Design Values for Buildings about half-way down the page, there is a link to the Java Ground Motion Parameter Calculator - Version 5.0.7 which is essentially the same program.  You need to have Java installed to run it, but there is also a link to the Sun website to install that if need be.

 

I guess they like to make it as complicated as possible.

Subject: 2006 IBC Seismic Map CD

Good morning,

 

The 2006 IBC refers to a CD by Leyendecker, Frankel, and Rukstales for determination of seismic design parameters.  I have a 2000 IBC version of that CD, and it is very helpful. 

 

Is the newer (apparently, 2004) version of that CD any different from the 2000 version? 

How can I get that newer CD?

 

TIA,
