2006 IBC Seismic Design Provisions

This workbook is used in the SCI one-day seismic design seminar which presents a complete overview of the seismic design provisions of the 2006 IBC/2007 CBC. After addressing the equivalent static force procedure, topics such as dynamic analysis, orthogonal effects, anchorage of walls to diaphragms, and diaphragm design are covered. Comparisons are made with the corresponding provisions of the 1997 UBC, whenever that is practicable. Also, several numerical examples are included, illustrating some of the most frequently used code provisions. No. of pages: 141 Pages
