ICC 1300-2024 Standard for the Vulnerability-Based Seismic Assessment and Retrofit of One- and Two-Family Dwellings
ICC 1300 establishes a clear, systematic methodology for identifying, evaluating and retrofitting known seismic vulnerabilities in one- and two-family, wood light-frame residential buildings up to two stories in height. The standard also outlines requirements for the evaluation and retrofit of masonry chimneys attached to buildings up to three stories.
The provisions integrate state-of-the-art seismic modeling tools and established engineering practices to support the development of reliable assessment methods and retrofit criteria aligned with defined performance objectives. While the use of ICC 1300 is expected to significantly enhance seismic performance, it is not intended to eliminate all potential earthquake-related damage.
