 The
2006 and the 2009 editions of the International
Building Code (IBC) require the use of a dynamic
analysis procedure for the seismic design of a building
under certain conditions of irregularity, occupancy, and
height. However, dynamic analysis procedures are more
complicated than the more traditional static procedure,
and over the years, many questions have been asked about
code provisions concerning this. This publication has
been created to answer these questions and demystify the
application of the code. This publication addresses the
two methods by which a designer may comply with the
seismic design requirements of the 2006/2009 IBC:
Equivalent Lateral Force Procedure (ASCE 7-05 Section
12.8) and Dynamic Analysis Procedure (ASCE 7-05 Section
12.9 and Chapter 16).

The
Seismic Design Using Structural Dynamics seminar (½ day)
presents the requirements for seismic design using
structural dynamics, with emphasis on the response
spectrum analysis method. Theoretical background
information on response spectrum analysis as well as a
clear, step-by-step procedure for designs based on such
analysis are presented. The seminar is based on ASCE
7-05 and the 2006 and 2009 IBCs.

CodeMaster - Residential Seismic Rehabilitation
This 6-page laminated reference guide provides
easy-to-follow step-by-step process for identification
and prioritization of seismic vulnerabilities and
approaches to mitigation. It includes 11 categories of
potential seismic vulnerability in one- and two-family
wood frame dwellings, including anchoring and bracing.
This CodeMaster explains the behavior of wood frame
dwellings in seismic events and recommends the degree of
priority for each area for retrofitting. <Read
