I will be posting comments on the draft code. Hopefully members of   committee will respond. Here is the first comment :

Clause 1.2 may please be redrafted as follows :



The prescriptive requirements mentioned in this standard shall be used for proportioning buildings  located in the near-field of seismogenic faults.

NOTE  For the purpose of this standard, near-field is taken as 10 km from the surface projection of a seismogenic fault with the exceptions that faults with estimated slip rate less than 1 mm per year shall not be considered in determining whether a site is a near-fault site and the surface projection used in the determination of near-fault site classification shall not include portions of the fault at depths of 10 km or greater.


Reason for the proposed change :


The standard should provide prescriptive  methods for buildings located in the near field of seismogenic faults. Portions of this clause overlapping Cl. 1.7 are deleted. Terminology and exceptions in the NOTE are in line with FEMA 2020 recommendations.
Regards
Rudra Nevatria
