Abstract
The review by the Ad Hoc Committee is limited, as charged, to basic principles. The committee recommends that paid consultants, knowledgeable and expert in structural engineering, in earthquake engineering and in structural dynamics, and knowing the practical elements that enter into structural design from the point of view of practicing engineers, be retained on a reimbursable basis to formulate the code and write the Commentary. The several good parts of the present code should be retained and the other parts replaced by practical provisions based upon current knowledge and technology.
