- Abstract
- The Tentative Provisions for the Development of Seismic Regulations for Buildings were developed by the Applied Technology Council to present, in one comprehensive document, current state-of-knowledge pertaining to seismic engineering of buildings. The Tentative Provisions are in the process of being assessed by the building community. The report is one of a series of reports that documents the deliberations of a group of professionals jointly selected by the Building Seismic Safety Council and the National Bureau of Standards and charged with reviewing the Tentative Provisions prior to the conduct of trial designs. The group is divided into nine technical committees, each of which focused on a particular portion of the Tentative Provisions. The nine committees proposed recommendations for change to the parent group, the Joint Committee, through a Coordinating Committee. The Coordinating Committee made some modifications to the technical committees' recommendations to ensure consistency among the recommendations. The report documents the actions of the Joint Committee on the 198 recommendations for change that were presented to it. The first part of the report is a summary of the results, and the appendices contain the full documentation for each recommended change. The actions of each of the nine technical committees is documented in a separate report.
