Abstract：
Mozambique doesn't formulate its own national seismic zoning, so earthquake intensity must be determined for construction of large architectural projects in Mozambique. The earthquake intensity calculation methods specified in UBC97 and Chinese Standard are compared with each other and both of them are used to calculate the horizontal earthquake force in Maputo, capital city of Mozambique. Practical projects and conditions in Maputo are introduced to give a suggestion for calculation of the earthquake intensity in Maputo.
