Seismic Building Code Map of The US


This map gives national seismic zonation according to the 1997 edition of the Uniform Building Code, which is published by the International Conference of Building Officials (Whittier, California). Code publishing organizations in the United States recently formed a nonprofit organization ( International Code Council, Falls Church, Virginia) dedicated to developing a single national code. Under this effort, the International Building Code 2000 will use the seismic hazard maps prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey.
