The 2020 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures provides detailed regulations and standards for seismic forces affecting new buildings and nonbuilding structures. It offers guidance on seismic design ground motions, including provisions for boilers, pressure vessels, and liquid storage tanks, and consensus standards for various structures. The document emphasizes seismic analysis methods, such as linear and nonlinear response history analysis, and discusses ground motion selection and modification techniques to ensure compatibility with target spectra.
