The document categorizes different types of occupancy structures based on their functions and importance. Category I includes essential facilities like hospitals, fire stations, and power facilities. Category II includes hazardous facilities handling toxic substances. Category III includes large assembly spaces and institutional buildings. Category IV covers standard occupancies. Category V covers miscellaneous small structures. The tables provide near source factors for seismic design based on the type of seismic source and distance to the source.
