List of international earthquake acceleration coefficients
# List of international earthquake acceleration coefficients

List of international earthquake acceleration coefficients. A list of earthquake coefficients used in structural design for earthquake engineering around the world. For example, a coefficient of 0.09 indicates that a building is designed that 0.09457 of its weight can be applied horizontally during an earthquake.

## Australia

From Australian Standard 1170.4. Coeffiecients are based on 10% chance exceedence in 50 years.

* Adelaide - 0.10
* Brisbane - 0.06
* Hobart - 0.05
* Melbourne - 0.08
* Perth - 0.09
* Sydney - 0.08

Note: Meckering, Western Australia, has the largest coefficient in Australia of 0.22.

## Greece

From ΕAΚ 2003 building code

* Zone 1 = 0.16g (Thrace and most of Northern Greece, Parts of Athens and Parts of Thessaloniki)
* Zone 2 = 0.24g (Parts of Athens and Parts of Thessaloniki)
* Zone 3 = 0.36g (Zakynthos Island, Cephalonia Island)

## Other

* Canada uses Spectral acceleration
