Recommended Future Issues and Research Needs

The resource focuses on the development and update of seismic provisions for new buildings and other structures, particularly related to earthquake hazard mitigation. It highlights key issues, research needs, and recommendations identified during the development of the 2020 NEHRP Provisions, such as the need for design guidance on rocking structures, integration of foundation and superstructure design, and consideration of seismic design categories. The text also covers research needs like investigation of triggers for MRSA, evaluation of explicit triggers for vertical ground motion analysis, and requirements for foundations of Risk Category IV buildings.
