Data for Limiting Safety-Critical Structural Damage in Recovery-Based Seismic Design Provisions, in Safety-Critical Structural Damage in Recovery-Based Seismic Design

In the move toward design practices that facilitate recovery, there are ongoing efforts to reevaluate structural seismic design parameters such as design drift limits and response modification coefficients. This dataset is the product of work to support the development of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP ) 2026 functional recovery design provisions, where we proposed design requirements that limit the occurrence of safety-critical structural damage, i.e., damage that must be repaired for occupants to return to a building safely. In this work, we outline structural design checks to be performed at a new risk-targeted Functional Recovery Earthquake (FRER) that follows a similar structure to current ASCE 7 Chapter 12 life-safety requirements.
