Building Codes Save: Background and Development (Phase 1 to 4)

History | In 2001, the Applied Technology Council (ATC) was awarded the first in a series of contracts with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop Next-Generation Performance-Based Seismic Design Procedures for New and Existing Buildings. These projects would become known as the ATC-58 Series of Projects. The overall program was separated into two major phases of work: Phase 1 – Developing a Methodology for Assessing the Seismic Performance of Buildings; and Phase 2 – Developing Performance-Based Seismic Design Procedures and Guidelines. The principal product of this work is a series of volumes, background documentation, and electronic materials collectively referred to as the FEMA P-58 Seismic Performance Assessment of Buildings, Methodology and Implementation.
