requirements for seismic rehabilitation. The Commentary explains the Provisions. Chapters
include requirements; analysis procedures; foundations and geologic site hazards; steel;
concrete; masonry; wood and light metal framing; seismic isolation and energy dissipation;
simplified rehabilitation; architectural, mechanical, and electrical components; and use of this
