SEISMIC DESIGN FOR BUILDINGS

These Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) provide technical guidance for the earthquake-resistant (“seismic”) design of new buildings, and nonstructural systems and components in those buildings, for the Department of Defense (DoD), based on an adaptation of the 2003 Edition of the International Building Code (IBC 2003). The criteria further provide limited technical guidance for seismic evaluation and strengthening of existing buildings. This information shall be used by structural engineers to develop design calculations, specifications, plans, and Design-Build Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and it shall serve as the minimum seismic design requirement for DoD buildings.
