This paper discusses revisions proposed by the Structural Engineers Association of California for the seismic design of steel structures. Several of the new provisions are drastic departures from current practice and are expected to have a considerable impact on design. The proposed changes are discussed from the perspectives of the practising engineer, the researcher, and the committee that drafted the new provisions.
