3. Response of Building to Earthquake

The following are the requirements for response of single structure to earthquake hazards. The requirements are being met by the EE-UQ application. AAll requirements in this section are related to work in WBS 1.3.8. These requirements are broken down into a number of groups, general, earthquake loading, building description, analysis, and UQ.
