Intended for the reader concerned about seismic safety in buildings but without a professional background in design or construction. Provides a relatively nontechnical introduction to the building guidelines set forth in the 1994 Provisions by providing information on the nature of ground motion generated by an earthquake; how buildings are affected by ground motion; what techniques are used to design against earthquake forces; and how the Provisions translates this information into simple, uniform, and realistic criteria and requirements to be followed by designers and builders. Maps, charts and tables.

Provides background information and educational materials to help state officials promote the adoption and enforcement of state and local model building codes that contain the latest seismic provisions. These codes can reduce the damage that will occur when future earthquakes strike at-risk parts of the country. It is intended for state earthquake program managers and hazard mitigation officers in the emergency management agencies of the states and territories prone to earthquakes. It is designed to help you convince your state and local governments that codes are effective, inexpensive, and a good investment for the future of our communities. Illustrated.
