List of international earthquake acceleration coefficients. A list of earthquake coefficients used in structural design around the world. For example, a coefficient of 0.09 indicates that a building is designed so that 0.09 of its weight can be applied horizontally during an earthquake.
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
[edit] Australia
From Australian Standard 1170.4. Coeffiecients are based on 10% chance exceedence in 50 years.
Note: Meckering, Western Australia, has the largest coefficient in Australia of 0.22.
