Hmmm, so I take it the website worked for you? I wonder what the problem is with our computers, I've tried it on a couple different ones.....

Any chance you can give it a try and see if it works for you? Just for giggles see if Mocksville NC comes up.

Go here: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/designmaps/usdesign.php And click "Use the Application". Input the design code and soil classification. For the lat/long coordinates, use the map to zero in on the site. The map tells you the decimal degrees for each. Add a "-" before the longitudinal degrees. Click "Compute Values". It produces pretty slick summary and detailed reports. J.

I've been using (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/designmaps/) but recently it won't input the coordinates based on the city and state anymore. I used to use one that worked based on zip code but that doesn't work anymore either. Maybe it's a computer setting? Brian Harris, CET BVS Systems Inc.
