![]() ![]() The International Building Code (IBC) requires that critical systems and components must not only maintain structural integrity during an earthquake, but also remain operational and continue to carry out their primary functions (per 2015 IBC Chapter 17). These requirements are for systems that are part of the designated seismic system (Ip=1.5) and must remain operational for life-safety (in any structure) or are critical systems in essential or hazardous facilities ( Risk Category IV).
