BSSC 2020 NEHRP Provisions Resource Paper: Resilience—Based Design and the NEHRP Provisions (February 2020)

A Part III Resource Paper approved for the 2020 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Building and Other Structures addresses the potential relationship between future NEHRP Provisions and resilience–based earthquake design, especially in the context of definitions and priorities established in federal law by the 2018 NEHRP reauthorization. Keywords: Resilience, Functional Recovery, NEHRP Provisions, Seismic Design.
