Study of Seismic Code Japan BCG, Europe EC8, Chile, America IBC, IS India, and New Iranian Earthquake Code

The earthquake is one of the natural phenomena that are likely to happen in all countries of the world. Therefore, in order to maintain safety, different countries have attempted to write their own seismic Regulations and under these circumstances, the countries that have more seismicity as per the experience of the earthquake and assess the damage caused by the earthquake have written Regulations that conform to their own region. This paper reviews the Regulations in Europe and the countries such as Japan, Chile, America, India and also old and the new Regulations of Iran. In summation, it has been investigated the strong points and failings of each of them. It is worth mentioning that the old version of the Iranian Earthquake Code (Standard No. 2800 – 3rd. Edition) & the new edition of Iranian Earthquake Code (Standard No. 2800 – 4th. Edition) have been evaluated herein, and has been stated the applied modifications as well.
