- Abstract
- The intent of this study is to review the seismic provisions of the current editions the BOCA National, SBCCI Standard and the ICBO Uniform Codes to determine whether the codes provide an equivalent level of safety to that contained in the 1991 Edition of the NEHRP Provisions. In addition the provision of the CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code and ASCE 7-93 are reviewed.
