The objective of this Standard is to provide designers of structures with earthquake actions and general detailing requirements for use in the design of structures subject to earthquakes.
The Standard has been drafted to be applicable to the design of structures constructed of any material or combination thereof. Designers will need to refer to the appropriate material Standard(s) on detailing requirements additional to those contained in this Standard.
This Standard is not equivalent to ISO 3010:2001, Basis for design of structures - Seismic actions on structures, but is based on equivalent principles.
