I. INTRODUCTION
Historical Development of Building Code / Seismic Code
Circa 3000 BC – Code of Hammurabi during the Babylonian Empire
‐ If a builder has built a house for a man and his work is not strong,
and if the house he has built fall and kills the householder, the
builder shall be slain. If the child of the householder be killed,
the child of the builder shall be slain.
‐ though the Code of Hammurabi was harsh by today’s standards,
civilization has tried to bring about some control over building
safety.

Historical Development of Building Code / Seismic Code
Circa 64AD – Burning of the Roman Empire
‐ Emperor Nero implemented his Master Plan for the Roman Empire
with sound construction principals and fire resistance after the
burning of Rome.
Circa 1666AD – The Great London Fire
‐ destroyed over 15,000 buildings.
‐ The “London Building Act” was issued by the Parliament which set‐
up building regulations in the City of London.
‐ Considered the first significant building regulation.
