Editorial Note |
Code Content: 4th Edition of the Iranian Code of Practice for Seismic
Resistant Design of Buildings composed of 7 Chapters and 5 Appendixes. The
First chapter provides general seismic provisions on the structural and
architectural integrity and classification of buildings, as well as the
definition of design objectives. Chapter 2 provide the seismic ground motion
(SGM) parameters, hazard zonation map, design spectra, the need for
development of site-specific design spectra, and the standard procedures for
selecting and scaling of SGM records. The seismic design requirements for
building structures are presented in Chapter 3 including basic requirements
for structural members, providing continuous load paths, structural system
selection, linear/nonlinear analysis methods, and control of
drifts/deformations. Chapter 4 is dedicated to the seismic design
requirements for non-structural components. Seismic design requirements for
non-building structures including non-building structures similar to
buildings, non-building structures not similar to buildings, and
non-building structures supported by other structures are illustrated in
Chapter 5. Geotechnical seismic requirements to protect structures from
geological hazards such as liquefaction, land slide, faulting and sink holes
has been presented in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 specifies additional seismic
guidelines and special considerations for the masonry buildings. 5
Appendixes describes the hazard zonation map of Iran; and provide extra
technical support for designers on P-Delta effects, diaphragms, and
soil-structure interaction. National delegate can be contacted for further inquiry. Publisher of the code -Building and Housing Research Center (BHRC) of Iran- can also be contacted to receive a copy of the code. *No updated information provided by the National Delegate in 2020 |
