Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service. Chapter 4. Structural Engineering (Includes Seismic Design). English Version, Revised January 26, 1996
This document clarifies the use of referenced standards versus model building codes; adds a table for comparing the seismic zones of the Uniform Building Code with the seismic performance categories of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, so that requirements which were previously made proportional to the zone can now also be correlated to seismic performance category; and changes the previous procedure for evaluating buildings to a new standard, Interagency Committee on Seismic Safety in Construction RP 4, also adopted by Presidential Executive order. It was necessary to make these revisions to Chapter 4 to emphasize maximum use of the model building codes and newly adopted standards.
