Importance level 1 structures are not required to be designed for earthquake actions.

The following structures are outside the scope of this Standard:

  • (a) High-risk structures.
  • (b) Bridges.
  • (c) Tanks containing liquids.
  • (d) Civil structures including dams and bunds.
  • (e) Offshore structures that are partly or fully immersed.
  • (f) Soil-retaining structures.
  • (g) Structures with first mode periods greater than 5 s.


This Standard does not consider the effect on a structure of related earthquake phenomena such as settlement, slides, subsidence, liquefaction or faulting.
