Japanese seismic code available on any version of Robot ?

[hotnickles99]

Is the Japanese code regarding seismic loads available on Robot 2011?
Because it seems not to be available on my RSAP 2010... Japanese codes are available on almost all categories but not for seismic loads...

I'm doing some research comparison about Eurocode 8 and Japanese seismic code... That's why i would like to use the japanese code to carry out some analyses in Robot and compare them to the analyses done with Eurocode 8.

Anyone knows ?

Thanks for your help.

Also UBC 97 is available in Seismic codes but doesn't exist in design codes! Why?!

UBC 97 is not available as a simple design code for steel structure because it is a code regarding seismic loads only. It's like in Europe we use Eurocode 8 for seismic design, and Eurocode 3 for steel and aluminium structure design.
So you have to find the equivalent for the american code.

Still, anyone has some answer to my previous question?

I really need some help on this !
