CHAPTER 557 earthquake -RESISTANT Design CONCEPTSC hapter 5 Design Seismic Design CategoriesThe NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions recognizes that, independent of the quality of their Design and construction, not all buildings pose the same seis-mic risk. Factors that affect a structure s Seismic risk include: The intensity of ground shaking and other earthquake effects the structure is likely to experience and The structure s use including consideration of the number of people who would be affected by the structure s failure and the need to use the struc-ture for its intended purpose after an Provisions uses the Seismic Design Category (SDC) concept to categorize structures according to the Seismic risk they could pose.
