What is Earthquake Standards Comparison by Country about?

This document compares the seismic design provisions and earthquake load calculations in various international building codes, including codes from India, Japan, the USA, Canada, and New Zealand. It finds that while the codes differ in details, they generally calculate seismic loads based on parameters like structural properties, seismic hazard level of the site, and building importance. Specifically, it examines how each code calculates the base shear coefficient and seismic weight, accounting for factors
