Code 2-1997 - Iraqi - Seismic Code Requirements For Buildings

This document outlines the seismic code requirements for buildings in Iraq. It covers the scope and purpose of designing buildings to resist earthquakes, which is to prevent loss of life, ensure vital services continue, and minimize property damage. It also outlines principles of earthquake-resistant design like structural layout, ductility, and deformations. It provides guidelines for evaluating seismic actions, verifying structural behavior, and constructing earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, steel, masonry, and foundation structures. Diagrams of Iraq's seismic zoning map are included in the appendices.
