    This document outlines the scope and objectives of seismic design provisions in the Pakistan Building Code 2007. It states that the provisions apply to the earthquake design of reinforced concrete, steel, masonry, and timber buildings, as well as some non-building structures specified in Chapter 5. However, bridges, dams, tunnels, pipelines, power plants, defense installations, and underground structures fall outside the scope due to different design requirements. Buildings with isolation systems or active/passive controls are also excluded.

    PAKISTAN BUILDING CODE 2007

    CHAPTER 1

    SCOPE
    1.1 Objective and General Principles The objective of the criteria and earthquake provisions described in this code is to prescribe the minimum requirements for the earthquake design and construction of buildings and building-like structures and/or their components subjected to earthquake ground motions. 1.2 Scope 1.2.1 Requirements of these provisions shall be applicable to reinforced concrete buildings, steel buildings, building-like structures, masonry and timber buildings. 1.2.2 In addition to the buildings and building-like structures, non-building structures permitted to be designed in accordance with the requirements of these provisions are limited to those specified in Chapter 5. In this context bridges, dams, harbour structures, tunnels, pipelines, power transmission lines, power generation plants including hydel, thermal and nuclear power plants, gas storage facilities, special defence installations, underground structures and other structures designed with analysis and safety requirements that are different than those for buildings are outside the scope of this code. 1.2.3 Requirements of these provisions shall not be applied to the buildings equipped with special system and equipment between foundation and soil for the purpose of isolation of building structural system from the earthquake motion, and to the buildings incorporating other active or passive control systems. 1.2.4 Requirements to be applied to structures which are outside the scope of these provisions, shall be specifically determined by the Departments/Autonomous Organizations supervising the construction and such structures shall be designed to those provisions until their specifications are prepared by the Competent Authority.
