23 The NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions
1.1 About the NEHRP Program
25 Figure 1-1. The NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions serves as a convergence of the efforts among the four NEHRP agencies and private sectors and a mechanism to transfer research results for improving seismic design practice.

1.2 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions Development
31 1.3 The Process of Developing the NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions
36 1.4 An Example of the Updating of the NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions
38 The 2015 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions developed comprehensive guidelines and requirements for nonlinear response history analysis, which can be considered a simulation of what would happen if the actual constructed building were subjected to earth

52 3.2 Ductility and Response Modification Factors
53 Figure 3-5. In this technique for allowing a steel frame to deform in a ductile manner, the beam is intentionally weakened with a “dogbone” cutout so that inelastic behavior will be concentrated in that segment of the frame, protecting the column from dam

61 3.4 Building Deflections (Drift)
62 Figure 3-9. The extreme drift experienced by Olive View Hospital in the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake also rendered nonstructural components damaged and non-functional. (Source: Robert Olson, NISEE-PEER)
3.5 Nonstructural Components
64 3.6 Building Irregularities
65 Figure 3-10. In the 1994 Northridge Earthquake in the Los Angeles region, this heavy soffit or exterior ceiling collapsed over the entrance. Nonstructural protection involves secure attachments of the nonstructural components to the structure. (Source: Ro
66 Figure 3-11. The extreme drift or sideways distortion of the Olive View Hospital in the 1971 San Fernando was caused by a soft-story condition: strong and stiff walls were discontinued at the ground story level, and all of the deformation was imposed on t

4.2 Essential Function Buildings
