SEAOC Blue Book: Seismic Design Recommendations 1959 to 2008
Following the publication of the 1927 Uniform Building Code (UBC), California structural engineers, working as volunteers through the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) Seismology Committee, led international efforts to develop seismic provisions for building codes. As this effort grew, SEAOC began work on publishing specific building code provisions, as a statewide effort. SEAOC first published the Recommended Lateral Force Requirements, also known as the Blue Book, in 1959. The first commentary on seismic design practice was published in 1960. Thus began SEAOCs role in the development of seismic provisions for incorporation into building code regulations, as well as its role in providing a commentary on existing building code seismic provisions to assist design engineers. The SEAOC Seismology Committee reviews university research, U.S. Geological Survey technical publications, and work completed by individual practicing engineers to develop practical design detailing provisions and building code regulation enhancements. Following the occurrence of major earthquakes between 1970 and 1994, SEAOC worked on enhancements to seismic design that addressed the lessons learned from these earthquakes. The Blue Book and the UBC seismic provisions have been recognized throughout the world as leading references for the design of earthquake resistant buildings. As a forum for practicing engineers, the Blue Book formalized Seismology Committee positions and interpretations and was widely viewed as a preliminary version of future seismic code provisions and a commentary on the UBC. From its seminal publication in 1959 through its internet presence in 2008, the Blue Book has held a commanding position in furthering the understanding of structural seismic design.
