This appendix, Part 3 of the 1985 Edition of the NEHRP Recommended Provisions, reproduces the provisions and commentaries that comprise Chapters 13 through 15 of the Applied Technology Council's 1978 report, Tentative Provisions for the Development of Seismic Regulations for Buildings (ATC 3-06). These chapters focus on existing buildings and they were not tested or evaluated during the BSSC Program on Improved Seismic Safety Provisions. They do, however, reflect considerable effort and the state of the art at the time they were developed; therefore, they have been included here for those readers who may wish to consider their use.

Certain buildings are exempted and need not comply: Buildings for agricultural use are generally excepted by most codes from code requirements because of the exceptionally low risk to life involved. Normal one- and two-family dwellings in Seismic Index Areas 1 and 2 are excepted because they represent exceptionally low risks. Because of the unique structural character of the special structures identified in this section and other structures that are similar in character, it is impossible to provide a single standard of reference that would ensure an adequate identification of response characteristics and methods of design and still be usable by the majority of designers.
