提供新西兰结构地震作用的确定程序。它给出了验证程序、现场危险确定、结构特征评估、地震作用效应的结构分析、变形的确定和限制以及结构部分的抗震设计的要求。应与AS/NZS 1170第0、1、2和3部分一起使用。附录涵盖了极限状态设计的各个方面，以及可与NZS 1170.5结合使用的材料特定结构设计标准的要求。

Provides procedures for the determination of earthquake actions on structures in New Zealand. It gives the requirements for verification procedures, site hazard determination, the evaluation of structural characteristics, structural analysis for earthquake action effects, the determination and limits for deformations and the seismic design of parts of structures. It is to be applied in conjunction with AS/NZS 1170 parts 0, 1, 2 and 3. Appendices cover aspects of ultimate limit state design and the requirements for material specific structural design standards that are able to be used in conjunction with NZS 1170.5.
