NIST Seismic Design Technical Brief Series

Main content start
Technical Brief

Produced by CUREE, in partnership with the Applied Technology Council for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), these illustrated Seismic Design Technical Briefs are a synthesis of model building code requirements and leading practitioner-recognized techniques, resulting in clear and concise analysis, design, and construction guidance for use by practicing structural engineers.

This series is also available through NIST at:
