Book excerpt: The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures is a well-known technical resource document for improving national seismic design standards and model building codes. Each edition of the NEHRP Provisions has been developed based on the most recent advancements in earthquake engineering and research. The 2020 NEHRP Provisions continues to apply the current state-of-knowledge in earthquake engineering for improving the seismic design of buildings and other structures. It presents a set of recommended improvements to the ASCE/SEI 7-16 Standard: Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, and nine resource papers on new concepts, suggested future development, and technical information in support of the recommended improvements. The NEHRP Provisions is developed and evaluated through an expert-based consensus process to ensure validity and quality of the recommended new changes. It is intended primarily for use by national standards and code organizations and earthquake engineering professionals. The NEHRP Provisions is intended to support strong seismic standards and codes to bolster earthquake resilience in the nation. It has been widely recognized that code conforming new buildings increase earthquake resilience for at-risk communities. When adopting and enforcing the most recent national standards and model building codes for improving earthquake resilience, local communities expect the standards and codes to be updated and equipped with the best available new earthquake knowledge and matured technologies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) shares a responsibility with other NEHRP agencies under the NEHRP Reauthorization Act (P.L. 115-307) "to use research results ... support model codes that are cost effective and affordable in order to promote better practices within the design and construction industry and reduce losses from earthquakes." Consistent with this objective, FEMA is proud to support the development of the tenth editi on of the NEHRP Provisions, which has broadly reviewed and translated many recent NEHRP and private sector research results into codifiable seismic design requirements and guidelines. FEMA is grateful to the large number of experts serving on the 2020 Provisions Update Committee, Issue Teams, Project 17 Committee and its Work Groups, the member organizations of Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) of National Institute of Building Sciences, the BSSC Board of Direction and project managers, and NEHRP agency representatives whose dedicated and persistent efforts make the 2020 NEHRP Provisions a great success. Americans unfortunate enough to experience the earthquakes that will inevitably occur in this country in the future will owe much, perhaps even their very lives, to the contributions and dedication of these individuals for the seismic safety of buildings and other structures. Without the dedication and hard work of these men and women, this document and all it represents with respect to earthquake risk mitigation would not have been possible.

This book was released on 2013-01-23 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the goals of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) is to encourage design and building practices that address the earthquake hazard and minimize the resulting risk of damage and injury. Publication of the 2009 edition of the NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures (FEMA P-750) reaffirms FEMA's ongoing support of efforts to achieve this goal. First published in 1985, the 2009 edition of the Provisions marks the seventh in a series of updates to the document and several complementary publications. FEMA is proud to have sponsored this project conducted by the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) of National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) and continues to encourage the widespread dissemination and voluntary use of this state-of-art consensus resource document. In contrast to the earlier editions of the Provisions which resulted from three-year update projects, the 2009 edition is the first resulting from a five-year update effort that allowed the BSSC's Provisions Update Committee (PUC) to make some major changes in both the substance and the format of the Provisions document. The most significant change involves the adoption by reference of the national consensus design loads standard, ASCE/SEI 7-05, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, including the related consensus standards referenced therein and Supplements 1 and 2. Part 1 of this document includes consensus-approved modifications of the seismic requirements in the standard. Among these modifications is the adoption of new seismic design maps based on seismic hazard maps issued in 2008 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) along with some design-related adjustments. Another major change has been made to the accompanying Commentary, previously issued as a separate volume but now included as Part 2 of the 2009 Provisions. The content of the Commentary has been completely rewritten to provide users with an up-to-date, user friendly explanation of how to design using the Provisions and the reference standard. Part 3 of the 2009 Provisions consists of a series of resource papers intended to clarify aspects of the Provisions, stimulate consideration of and feedback from the design community on new seismic design concepts and procedures, and/or encourage the development and adoption of new requirements in ASCE/SEI 7 and the standards referenced therein. Thus, the 2009 Provisions serves as a national resource intended for use by both design professionals and the standards- and codes-development community in fostering development of a built environment designed and constructed to protect building occupants from loss of life and serious injury and to reduce the total losses from future earthquakes.

Book excerpt: One of the goals of the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) is to encourage design and building practices that address the earthquake hazard and minimize the resulting risk of damage and injury. Publication of this edition of the “NEHRP Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulation of New Buildings and Other Structures” and its “Commentary” (“FEMA 450-2 / Part 2: Commentary”) is a fitting end to the 25th year of the NEHRP and reaffirms FEMA's ongoing support to improve the seismic safety of construction in this country. Its publication marks the sixth edition in an ongoing series of updating of both the NEHRP Recommended Provisions and several complementary publications. FEMA was proud to sponsor the Building Seismic Safety Council for this project and we encourage the widespread dissemination and voluntary use of this state-of-the-art consensus resource document. This edition of the “NEHRP Recommended Provisions” contains several significant changes, including: a reformatting to improve its usability; introduction of a simplified design procedure, an updating of the seismic design maps and how they are presented; a modification in the redundancy factor; the addition of ultimate strength design provisions for foundations; the addition of several new structural systems, including buckling restrained braced frames and steel plate shear walls; structures with damping systems has been moved from an appendix to a new chapter; and inclusion of new or updated material industry reference standards for steel, concrete, masonry, and wood. The “NEHRP Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings and Other Structures” (referred to hereinafter as the “Provisions”) present criteria for the design and construction of structures to resist earthquake ground motions. The purposes of these “Provisions” are as follows: 1. To provide minimum design criteria for structures appropriate to their primary function and use considering the need to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general public by minimizing the earthquake-related risk to life and 2. To improve the capability of essential facilities and structures containing substantial quantities of hazardous materials to function during and after design earthquakes. The design earthquake ground motion levels specified herein could result in both structural and nonstructural damage. For most structures designed and constructed according to these “Provisions,” structural damage from the design earthquake ground motion would be repairable although perhaps not economically so. For essential facilities, it is expected that the damage from the design earthquake ground motion would not be so severe as to preclude continued occupancy and function of the facility. The actual ability to accomplish these goals depends upon a number of factors including the structural framing type, configuration, materials, and as-built details of construction. For ground motions larger than the design levels, the intent of these “Provisions” is that there be a low likelihood of structural collapse. These “Provisions” shall apply to the design and construction of structures—including additions, changes of use, and alterations—to resist the effects of earthquake motions. Every structure, and portion thereof, shall be designed and constructed to resist the effects of earthquake motions as prescribed by these “Provisions.”
