![]() ![]() The evolution from prestandard to standard took place in the form of extensive committee review, discussion, and revisions conducted in accordance with the ASCE Rules for Standards Committees, which have been approved by the American National Standards Institute. While the FEMA 356 prestandard was a valuable document and represented a significant milestone in earthquake engineering, it is quickly becoming obsolete. ![]() ASCE/SEI 41-06 was developed from the FEMA 356, Prestandard and Commentary for the Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings, which was based on FEMA 273, and published in 2000 as a starting point for the formal standard development process. The ASCE/SEI 41-06 standard is the latest generation of a performance-based seismic rehabilitation methodology that began with the ATC-33 project in the early 1990's and was published as FEMA 273. This new national consensus standard represents state-of-the-art knowledge in earthquake engineering and is a valuable tool for the structural engineering profession to improve building performance in future earthquakes. The ASCE/SEI Standards Committee on Seismic Rehabilitation is pleased to announce the completion of the new standard, ASCE/SEI 41-06, Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings. ![]()
