Response Spectrum Calculations Using Ubc 97: Ifzoneis4

This document provides information and tables for calculating response spectra using the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC 97). It includes definitions for occupancy categories, seismic zones, soil profiles, seismic coefficients, and spectral acceleration values for different periods. Factors for near source distance are also specified for seismic source types A, B, and C. A graph shows a sample response spectrum.
