CREDITS. The climatic loading data for locations within the United States,
its territories and possessions is based upon figures 1608.2 and 1609 of the 2003 IBC

territories and possessions represents the best available information to date based
upon the previous edition of UFC 3-310-01, and Military Handbook 1002/2A,
supplemented by recommendations from regional engineers and the Pond & Company
study Structural Engineering Design Parameters for OCONUS Locations, 21 September
2001.
The earthquake loading data for locations within the United States, its
territories and possessions was determined utilizing the software, "Seismic Design
Parameters", Version 3.10 that was developed by International Council of Building
Officials and the International Code Council in conjunction with the United States
Geological Survey, the Building Seismic Safety Council, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, E.V. Leyendecker, A.D. Frankel, and K.S. Rukstales.

territories and possessions. The Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program
provided the basis for this effort.
Dr. John R. Hayes, Jr. (Jack) of the Engineer Research and Development
Center, Army Corps of Engineers, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory
provided Table 1, "CLASSIFICATION OF BUILDINGS AND OTHER STRUCTURES
FOR IMPORTANCE FACTORS". This table is based on table 1604.5 of the 2003 IBC
as modified for unique facilities within the Department of Defense.
Tables 1 and B-1 are based on tables 1604.5 and 1607.1 of the 2003 IBC, and
