The Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC), established
by the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS),
develops and promotes building earthquake risk mitigation regulatory provisions
for the nation.

RESEARCH
NEEDS IDENTIFIED
The
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has charged the BSSC to identify
research needed
to
advance the state of the art of earthquake-resistant design and serve
as the basis for future refinement of the Provisions. Specific
research needs that are beyond the scope of the Provisions update
effort were identified during the development of the 2003 edition. Click
on the adjacent link for a pdf outlining the
basic research needs and specific topics proposed for investigation during
preparation
of the 2009 Provisions.
For additional information write Claret Heider at cheider@nibs.org.
Also
read the Research
& Development Needs Summary, which identifies important
needs pertaining to the future development and improvement of inelastic
seismic
analysis procedures. The summary is part of the ATC-55
Project: Evaluation and Improvement of Inelastic Seismic Analysis
Procedures.
