NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures - Volume I: Part 1 Provisions, Part 2 Commentary (FEMA P-1050-1)

The NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures - Volume I provides detailed seismic design criteria for building components and structures, including seismic load effects, modeling criteria, equivalent lateral force procedure, diaphragm and structural wall design, foundation design, and simplified structural design criteria. It offers guidelines on analysis procedure selection, seismic load combinations, and design and detailing requirements for materials such as steel, concrete, masonry, and wood. The document also addresses seismic design requirements for nonstructural components, material-specific seismic detailing, seismic response history procedures, and nonbuilding structures.
