REVISED INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3010 BASES FOR DESIGN OF STRUCTURES -SEISMIC ACTIONS ON STRUCTURES

Abstract

The International Standard “ISO 3010 Bases for design of structures-Seismic actions on structures” was published in 1988 through the activity of the working group of ISO/TC98. TC98 deals with “Bases for design of structures.” The aim of TC98 is to create a coherent design system of International Standards in the field of building and civil engineering works. ISO 3010 includes principles for the determination of seismic actions on structures and seismic design. The revision of ISO 3010 began in 1995, and the revised ISO 3010 was issued in December 2001. This paper introduces the activities of TC98 and the outline of the revised ISO 3010.
