Seismic
Forces
A. Principles: Apply lateral forces principles
to the design and construction of buildings
to resist seismic forces.
B. Codes & Regulations: Incorporate
building codes and other regulatory
requirements related to seismic forces.
C. Materials & Technology: Analyze the
implications of design decisions in the
selection of systems, materials, and
construction details related to seismic
forces.
D. Environmental Issues: Consider site and environmental
characteristics in the selection, design, and construction of
building structural systems to resist
seismic forces.
