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.
