Abstract
A study is described of the format and expression of the Tentative Provisions for the Development of Seismic Regulations for Buildings developed by the Applied Technology Council. The methods of analysis employed provide objective measures of clarity, completeness and consistency, as well as an alternative formal representation with which to examine the correctness of the provisions. The formal representation of the seismic provisions and the findings of the analysis will assist those concerned with the future development of the provisions and their implementation within the various national standards and model codes.
