This is considered to be the first explicit policy and legal consideration of the seismic safety of structures in the U.S.
Because a factor of safety of 1.3 was used for design, a reduction of 30 percent would reduce the factor of safety to approximately one: a condition of incipient failure.” (ASCE: External Review Panel, pg 51) [27] This meant that the design included a safety factor of 30% ("1.3"), and could cope in theory with stresses 30% more than expected ...
