5.1 Seismic Design Categories
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. There are six SDCs rang-ing from A to F with structures posing minimal Seismic risk assigned to SDC A and structures posing the highest Seismic risk assigned to SDC F.
