The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is pleased to announce that the 2009 edition of the NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures, FEMA P-750 and FEMA P-750 CD, are now available, at no cost, from the FEMA Publications Warehouse and online from the FEMA Library.
One of the goals of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) is to encourage design and construction practices that reduce the seismic risk to property and life. FEMA’s publication of the 2009 NEHRP Provisions, which serve as a national resource for design professionals and the standards and codes development community, is a major ongoing commitment to achieving this goal. In a series first published in 1985, the 2009 NEHRP Provisions marks the seventh update of this key resource document. This new edition adopts by reference the national load standard, ASCE/SEI 7-05, which allows the Provisions to resume its role as a research-to-practice resource for introducing new knowledge, innovative concepts, and design methods to improve the national seismic standards and codes.
