Abstract
Since 1997, the NEHRP Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings and Other Structures (NEHRP Provisions) has served as the primary resource document for all recently developed seismic codes and standards in the United States including American Society of Civil Engineers Standard 7 (ASCE 7). Also since 1997, the NEHRP Provisions have contained a separate chapter devoted to nonbuilding structures. Nonbuilding structures are generally defined as all self-supported structures other than buildings that have the capacity to carry gravity loads and to resist the effects of earthquakes. In this paper, the role of the NEHRP Provisions and ASCE 7 in the seismic code and development process is described. Also described are current and most recently adopted NEHRP Provisions for nonbuilding structures.
