Abstract
In this paper the writers have drafted a lateral force provision which constitutes a reasonable requirement for building codes. Although it was prepared specifically for California conditions, the code is generally applicable, possibly with some quantitative modifications to suit different local conditions. The report includes the development of a more rational criterion for design seismic forces than has been attempted heretofore in lateral force codes.
