What seismic design codes should I consider for my subsea structures?

[aa2105]

Hi

I am looking for a "Western" seismic analysis design code? So something by BS, ISO, API, etc...

If there is one specific to the oil & gas industry and subsea strucutures, then great, but as this may not be available, any code on structural seismic design would do.

I essentially need to check which seismicity level below which analysis is not really needed - I think its above MSK VII but need confirmation...

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Look at 2003 IBC and 1997 UBC.
