A COMPARISON OF OMAN SEISMIC CODE WITH INTERNATIONAL COUNTERPARTS BASED ON REGIONAL SEISMIC HAZARD

Muhammad Bilal Waris, Khalifa Saif Al-Jabri · The Journal of Engineering Research · 2022 · 10.53540/tjer.vol19iss1pp1-12

Oman Seismic Code (OSC) was developed in 2013 to provide guidelines for seismic analysis and design of buildings in the Sultanate of Oman. Prior to its development, specifications of Uniform Building Code 1997 (UBC) and International Building Code 2006 (IBC) were used. This study compares base shear, lateral force dist …
