Where can I find information on design wind loads, snow loads, and seismic intensity for Chengdu, Sichuan?
All this information is based on what the industry leaders say; don’t try to look it up – if you get it wrong, it will be your problem and you’ll be in trouble.
Seismic intensity can be found in the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings, while wind and snow load data should be available on the website of the Chengdu Meteorological Bureau. The most convenient approach is to find a proper feasibility study report for a project in Chengdu, as it contains comprehensive data of this kind.
It varies by region; generally, it is provided by the construction entity
Obtained by the construction unit from the relevant competent authorities
The design basis is usually provided by the owner; the information required for the first floor can be obtained from the Chengdu Meteorological Bureau. A relatively accurate reference can be found in the design parameters outlined in the \"Overall Design of CNPC’s Pengzhou Project for 10 million tons of oil refining and 1 million tons of ethylene production\".
