Slide 7
Combining ASCE 31 & 41

Occupancy
• Nonstructural Checklists for LS and IO
coinciding with the redefinition of NS
performance.

Slide 19
Level of Seismicity Revisions
• Match ASCE 7-10 Seismic Design
Categories
• Very Low = SDC A (New Category)
• Low = SDC B (Revision)
• Moderate = SDC C (Revision)
• High = SDC D, E, & F

• Goal is to remove inconsistencies

Slide 20
Nonstructural Performance Level
Redefinition
• Life Safety
• Actual documented past cases of causing death,
serious injury, or egress disruption in major
earthquakes.

• Position Retention / Immediate Occupancy

• Element has not moved or become
unbraced/unanchored, but may not be
functional.
• Operational
• Element has been certified or designed to retain
position and be resilient such that it can
immediately return to operation.
Slide 21
Analysis – Short Term
• How to determine m-factors and backbone curves
• Incorporate FEMA P440a material
• Update foundation rocking
• J-factor
• Add broad response history analysis criteria
(number of records, scaling, etc.)
• Address how force controlled components can be
modeled in NDP
• Expand/rewrite the protective systems chapters
• Incorporate ATC 76-6 results (relax LDP and CMP)
• Reconcile pushover and response spectra
approach with max direction spectra.

Slide 22
Geologic Issues
• Create performance based liquefaction
provisions
• Provide guidance on hazard to evaluate
liquefaction
• Provide guidance on structural
consequences of differential settlement,
lateral spreading and bearing loss

Slide 23
Material Testing Issues
• Revise “Usual Testing” Requirements for
Kappa = 1.0
• Review and update testing requirements
for all materials

• Long Term
• Revise Kappa Factor to be based on
action / consequence dependent
• Update testing requirements for all
materials
Slide 24
Concrete
• Update ASCE 41 based on balloted changes in ACI 369.
Including:
o Changes to connector provisions (removal of 0.5 factor
for cracking).
o Referencing to ACI material and condition assessment
documents.
o Editorial and minor organizational changes.

• No Update to Shear Wall m-factors this

cycle without funded effort

Slide 25
Steel Issues
• Add BRBF information
• Add acceptance criteria for braced frame
gusset plates acting as moment
connections.
• How to deal with braced frame beam-
column moment connections w/ gusset
plates
• Verify the moment connection rotation
limits
• In general update references to the latest
AISC manual, currently referencing AISC
LRFD 1999.

Slide 26
Wood / Light Frame

• Update to 2005 NDS & 2008 SDPWS

• Dealing with existing connectors
• Default strength and stiffness values for
wood diaphragms

• Adding separate provisions for Cold-

form steel a Long Term issue
Slide 27
Masonry Issues
• Incorporate ASCE 31 special URM
procedure into ASCE 41
• Nonlinear URM Provisions need review
• All In-fill provisions updated
• Update Reinforced Masonry
