FEMA P-2139-1 , Short-Period Building Collapse Performance and Recommendations for Improving Seismic Design, Volume 1 – Overarching Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations

This report summarizes results, conclusions, and recommendations from the three system-specific studies, presents a common understanding of the seismic response and collapse performance of short-period buildings, and describes the resolution of the short-period building seismic performance paradox. This report also presents a national relationship, represented by “collapse surfaces,” between short-period building collapse performance and key building response properties, such as strength and displacement capacity.

FEMA P-2139-2 , Short-Period Building Collapse Performance and Recommendations for Improving Seismic Design, Volume 2 – Study of One-to-Four Story Wood Light-Frame Buildings

This report focuses on the investigation of wood light-frame systems.

FEMA P-2139-3 , Short-Period Building Collapse Performance and Recommendations for Improving Seismic Design, Volume 3 – Study of One-to-Four Story Special Reinforced Masonry Shear Wall Buildings

This report focuses on the investigation of special reinforced masonry shear wall systems.

FEMA P-2139-4 , Short-Period Building Collapse Performance and Recommendations for Improving Seismic Design, Volume 4 – Study of One-to-Four Story Steel Special Concentrically Braced Frame Buildings

This report focuses on the investigation of steel SCBF systems.
