DDES publishes three free tools based on the official text of the NSR-10 (Colombia's seismic-resistant building code) and Law 1796 of 2016: the seismic hazard of every municipality in Colombia, the design spectrum for a site, and the assistant that tells you whether a project needs an independent design review and technical supervision.

Seismic hazard by municipality
Aa, Av, Ae, Ad and hazard zone for all 1,117 municipalities, from Appendix A-4.
Design spectrum
Fa, Fv, I, T0, TC, TL and the Sa(T) curve of section A.2.6, for your soil and your use.
Live loads by occupancy

Shall we go over it with you?
The tools give you the code's values. For your project, a DDES engineer tells you what they mean and sends you a proposal.
Our team works in Spanish. You can write to us in English and we will get back to you.
