Overview of the New Standard
ASCE4113Seminar Introduction&GeneralProvisions
Reproductionnotpermittedwithout
permission 7
Overall Philosophy
Distinguish between prescriptive (experience-based) and
systematic evaluation/retrofit
Maintain 31-03 Tier 1 as a self-contained, complete chapter
Tier 2 as deficiency-only / prescriptive procedure (31-03
outline, 41-06 provisions)
Tier 3 as systematic / performance procedure (41-06)
Remove distinction between evaluation and retrofit within
the Standard
Do not introduce any additional hazard reduction
prescriptive methods at this time
Difficulties
Potentially more complicated for typical ASCE 31 Tier 1 only
users
Larger book, potentially harder to navigate
Learning curve for new uses
ASCE4113Seminar Introduction&GeneralProvisions
Reproductionnotpermittedwithout
permission 8
Benefits of Combined ASCE 41-13
Consistent Evaluation and Retrofit Provisions
Explicit direction for existing buildings of different risk
categories
Explicit New Design Code equivalent performance
objectives
Greater consistency with ASCE 7
Less conservative Tier 1 Life Safety provisions
Updated technical provisions
Specific Criteria for Combining
Use 41-06 as a basis and insert 31-03 into that document
with outline revisions as necessary
Provide a road map in the first chapter to enable all types of
users to effectively navigate the document
Keep performance objectives and seismic hazards one
location (used for all Tiers)
Maintain the 3-tiered format but adjust concept away from a
linear flownow its more of a Y
ASCE4113Seminar Introduction&GeneralProvisions
Reproductionnotpermittedwithout
permission 9
Specific Criteria for Combining
Treat the technical requirements for evaluation and retrofit
as the same
Provide separate, consecutive chapters for Tier 1, Tier 2, and
Tier 3 for consistency and flow
Place Tier 1 checklists and Tier 2 commentary statements at
the end of the document
Distinguish between prescriptive (experience-based) and
systematic (analytical) evaluation/rehabilitation
Maintain ASCE 31 Tier 1 as a (mostly) self-contained,
complete chapter
No outline changes within 41-06 Chapters 4-9 & 11

The Rest
Substantive Changes Due to Combining
Revised limitations on the applicability of T1/T2
Revised height limits and limitations on mixed systems for T1/T2
31-03 elemental T2 analysis, strengths, and acceptance criteria
replaced with 41-06
31-03 full-building T2 replaced with Tier 3 (41-06)
31-03 T2 nonstructural prov. replaced with 41-06
Eliminate 0.75 factor for 31-03 T3 evaluation
(partially offset by General Provisions updates)
Simplified retrofit (41-06 Ch10) permitted for IO

General Provisions
ASCE 31-03
Two Performance Levels Life Safety & Immediate Occupancy
One Seismic Hazard (2/3)*MCE
Buried within the acceptance criteria is a factor of 0.75, which is
intended to give existing buildings a break
ASCE 41-06
Three Performance Levels Collapse Prevention, Life Safety &
Immediate Occupancy
Performance ranges between levels
Two Seismic Hazard 10%/50 or (2/3)*MCE and MCE
No break for existing buildings
Basic Safety Objective Performance of Occupancy Category II
The Old

New Design Equivalent Hazards No Break
BSE-2N is the ASCE 7-10 MCE
R
BSE-1N is 2/3*ASCE 7-10 MCE
R
Existing Building Hazards the Break
BSE-2E is the 5% in 50-year (975-year)
BSE-1E is the 20% in 50-year (225-year)
BSE-2E and BSE-1E cannot be greater than the
BSE-2N and BSE-1N
In SF, San Jose, parts of LA, and Oakland this means no force reduction for
existing buildings
The New

New Design Equivalent Hazards No Break
BSE-2N is 0.44
BSE-1N is 0.29

BSE-2E is 1.48 (99% of MCE

New Seismic Hazards
Consistent Seismic Hazard science between ASCE 7-10 and
ASCE 41-13
NGA relationships and new USGS maps used
All hazards are Maximum Direction
Scaling of site specific hazards matches ASCE 7 provisions
Scaling of response histories now can be done by using spectral
matching or other approved methods
