Adoption Info of Georgia Seismic Steel Construction Code 2010
- AISC 341-10 (Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings) with Georgia-specific amendments
Effective Dates
- January 1, 2010 – December 31, 2015
Adopts with Amendments
- AISC 341-10 (Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings)
Scope
- The Georgia Seismic Steel Construction Code 2010 applies to the design, construction, and maintenance of structural steel buildings to ensure adequate performance under seismic forces. This code sets requirements for material quality, connection detailing, and structural integrity, focusing on lateral load resistance, ductility, and energy dissipation for safety in seismic events.
Exception #1: Buildings located in low-seismic zones may follow less stringent requirements, as determined by local jurisdiction.
Exception #2: Non-structural steel elements or components not contributing to seismic resistance may use alternative design criteria based on their application and load demands.
