Disclaimers: The policy of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is to use the International System of Units (metric units) in all of its publications. However, in North America in the construction and building materials industry, certain non-SI units are so widely used instead of SI units that it is more practical and less confusing to include measurement values for customary units only. Any opinions, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Additionally, neither NIST nor any of its employees make any warranty, expressed or implied, nor assume any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, product, or process included in this publication.

The Standards document was drafted for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on behalf of the ICSSC by a committee of experts organized by the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS). This edition of the Standards document is dedicated in the memory of Mr. Bela Palfalvi, who represented the General Services Administration on the ICSSC for many years and provided outstanding leadership in establishing sound seismic safety standards, not only for GSA but for all Federal agencies. The intent of this Standards document is to identify common minimum evaluation and mitigation measures for all Federal departments and agencies and to ensure that all Federal entities have balanced agency-conceived and-controlled seismic safety programs for their existing owned or leased buildings. Since the issuance of RP 6, several Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) pre-standards have become national consensus standards issued by the American Society of Civil Engineers/Structural Engineering Institute (ASCE/SEI), some of which are being updated, and FEMA has continued to publish guidance documents related to the evaluation and retrofitting of existing buildings. These documents are referenced and cited throughout this 2011 edition of the Standards (RP 8). Federal agencies with minimum and extended standards for the evaluation and mitigation of seismic risks posed by their building inventories. The minimum acceptable performance objective for Federal buildings, when evaluation …
