Multi-Hazard Design Considerations

• Design evaluation of seismic and wind loads requires greater knowledge of probabilistic hazard curves on a regional and site-specific basis.

• Impact of wind strength level on seismic elements to be designed for maximum inelastic response

• Drift deformation threshold limits may need assessment depending on occupancies and economic value.

• Transferability of damage control drift limits to other hazards
