text: # List of international earthquake acceleration coefficients
  
  List of international earthquake acceleration coefficients. A list of earthquake coefficients used in structural design for earthquake engineering around the world. For example, a coefficient of 0.09 indicates that a building is designed that 0.09457 of its weight can be applied horizontally during an earthquake.
  
  ## Australia
  
  From Australian Standard 1170.4. Coeffiecients are based on 10% chance exceedence in 50 years.
  
  * Adelaide - 0.10
  * Brisbane - 0.06
  * Hobart - 0.05
  * Melbourne - 0.08
  * Perth - 0.09
  * Sydney - 0.08
  
  Note: Meckering, Western Australia, has the largest coefficient in Australia of 0.22.
  
  ## Greece
  
  From ΕAΚ 2003 building code
  
  * Zone 1 = 0.16g (Thrace and most of Northern Greece, Parts of Athens and Parts of Thessaloniki)
  * Zone 2 = 0.24g (Parts of Athens and Parts of Thessaloniki)
  * Zone 3 = 0.36g (Zakynthos Island, Cephalonia Island)
  
  ## Other
  
  * Canada uses Spectral acceleration
