NEHRP Recommended Provisions and Commentary for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings and Other Structures. 2003 Edition
The 2003 edition has the consensus approval of the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) membership. The Provisions present criteria for the design and construction of new buildings and additions and alterations to existing buildings and non-building structures to enable them to resist the effects of earthquake ground motions. The Commentary provides general requirements, background information, and explanations for applying the analysis and design criteria in the Provisions. This update consists primarily of new material in select areas intended to keep the document at the cutting edge of seismic design practices. Complimentary materials, FEMA 451 and FEMA 451B, are available online and the previous edition (2000) is available as FEMA 368 and 369. FEMA is currently funding the BSSC to produce the 2009 edition.
