The register keeps changing after the book is fixed in print. Each entry below was added to this row in the order shown.
OPENED ONLY AT THE TITLE PAGE, which confirms identity: 'الكود العربي السوري لتصميم وتنفيذ المنشآت بالخرسانة المسلحة، الطبعة الرابعة، دمشق 2012', issued by the Engineers Syndicate. THE CHAPTER'S CODE HISTORY STOPS AT THE THIRD EDITION OF 2004 AND THIS IS THE FOURTH, eight years before the earthquake the chapter describes. Nothing beyond the existence, edition number and date may rest on this row until it is read. It is the natural source for any statement about what the code in force requires, as distinct from what its earthquake appendix requires.
OPENED AND READ AT ITS FRONT MATTER ON 17 AUGUST 2026, AFTER THE AUTHOR ASKED WHY IT HAD NOT BEEN. THE ROW STOOD AT HELD_NOT_READ WHILE CHAPTER 5 v13 PRINTED 'The 2012 code is not open, so nothing below is tested against it', AND D-074 APPROVED THE CHAPTER WITH THAT STATE EXPRESSLY RECORDED. The file was in the repository throughout. Status moves to READ_IN_PART. 404 pages, scanned with no text layer, read as rendered images at 150 and 400 dpi. PAGE 3 IS THE ADOPTION INSTRUMENT AND THE CHAPTER SHOULD HAVE HAD IT. A بلاغ of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, number 44/15, dated DAMASCUS 11 NOVEMBER 2013 and signed by the Prime Minister, DR WAEL AL-HALQI. It recites that the Engineers Syndicate developed and updated the code that had been in force under CIRCULAR 19/b/5546/15 OF 2004, so that it aligns with developments in structural engineering science AND ESPECIALLY IN RESEARCH AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING BUILDINGS TO RESIST EARTHQUAKES, out of concern for public safety. It then REQUESTS ALL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BODIES working in engineering studies and the implementation of concrete projects TO ADOPT THE NEW CODE FROM ITS DATE. THE DATE WAS RE-RENDERED AT 400 DPI AND CROPPED BEFORE IT WAS RECORDED, because Arabic scans in this archive have reversed digit order before and this project has printed a wrong date from one. Both groups read ١١, so 11/11/2013. SO THE CODE IS DATED 2012 ON ITS COVER AND BECAME MANDATORY BY PRIME-MINISTERIAL CIRCULAR ON 11 NOVEMBER 2013, and the chapter may say so. PAGE 7 CARRIES THE ENFORCEABILITY STATEMENT, in the third edition's preface of May 2004 signed by the then head of the Syndicate, ENG. HASSAN MAJED ALI, reprinted in this volume: the Syrian Arab Code consists of the base code and FOURTEEN APPENDICES, and 'these appendices are an integral part of the code, complementary to it, AND MANDATORY IN APPLICATION LIKE IT'. The fourteen are listed in order and APPENDIX 2 IS EARTHQUAKES. That sentence sources, from the code itself, what the chapter previously took from a trade-press explainer at SRC-160. PAGE 5 IS THE FOURTH EDITION'S PREFACE, Damascus DECEMBER 2012, signed by the head of the Syndicate ENG. MOHAMMAD WALID GHAZAL. It discusses Appendix 2 directly: detailed provisions were given for frames implementable in Syria with relatively large difficulty, named the special local frames, and for the intermediate local frames, both differing slightly from their counterparts in the American reference codes; and TWO FURTHER APPENDICES WERE ADDED, و on a developed method for compressed elements taking slenderness into account and ح on short columns and corbels. READING STILL OWED: the substantive body of the code, 404 pages, and in particular any provision bearing on the duties of engineers, contractors, the Syndicate and the local administrative units that Chapter 5 states from SRC-160.
PAGES 4 AND 6 OPENED 17 AUGUST 2026, AFTER THE v14 DIFF REVIEW FOUND THEM RENDERED AND UNREAD. THEY WERE IN THIS DIRECTORY, AT THE SAME TIMESTAMP AS PAGES 3, 5 AND 7, THROUGHOUT. p005 is the closing page of the fourth edition's preface and p007 the closing page of the third edition's; both prefaces begin on the page before, so the v14 pass read the end of each and the chapter said it had read two prefaces. BOTH PREFACES ARE NOW READ IN FULL. PAGE 4, مقدمة الطبعة الرابعة, AND IT CARRIES A DATE THAT CONTRADICTS SRC-167. Verbatim: 'بعد أن صدرت الطبعة الثالثة من الكود العربي السوري لتصميم وتنفيذ المنشآت بالخرسانة المسلحة عام ٢٠٠٤، وهو الكود الأساس، تم إصدار الملحق (١) الخاص بالأحمال عام ٢٠٠٦، وكان قد صدر قبله عام ٢٠٠٥ الملحق (٢) الخاص بالزلازل، كما صدر الملحق (٣) الخاص بالتفاصيل والرسومات عام ٢٠٠٧، كما أن الملحق (٤) الخاص بتقييم وتأهيل المنشآت القائمة هو قيد الإنجاز أما الملحق (٥) الخاص بالأساسات فهو منجز وصدر في هذا العام.' SO THE SYNDICATE'S OWN BASE CODE DATES THE EARTHQUAKE APPENDIX TO 2005, where the Syndicate's own second edition of that appendix dates its first edition to 2004. Two primaries by the same body disagree, both are in this repository, and CLAUDE.md requires the conflict to be named rather than resolved silently. The chapter names it at v15. PAGE 4 ALSO GIVES THE ISSUE CHAIN: base code third edition 2004; Appendix 1 loads 2006; Appendix 2 earthquakes 2005; Appendix 3 details and drawings 2007; APPENDIX 4, evaluation and rehabilitation of existing structures, STILL UNDER COMPLETION at the fourth edition; Appendix 5 foundations complete and issued that year. AND THE FOURTH EDITION'S OWN CHANGES: symbols brought into line so far as possible with those used in the American reference codes, named as ACI 318M-08, UBC 97, IBC 2009 and ASCE-7/10, and a new lettered appendix (ز) for moment-resisting frames. THAT BEARS ON THE FOURTEEN-APPENDIX COUNT AT PAGE 7: the fourteen are the numbered ملاحق set out in the THIRD edition's preface of May 2004, one of which was still unfinished in December 2012, and the lettered appendices ز، و and ح are a separate series. The count is not falsified and it is a 2004 statement carried forward, not the 2012 volume's account of itself, and the chapter now attributes it to the preface that makes it. PAGE 6, مقدمة الطبعة الثالثة, AND IT CORROBORATES THE CHAPTER'S CHRONOLOGY FROM THE CODE ITSELF. Verbatim: 'صدرت الطبعة الثانية من الكود العربي السوري في عام ١٩٩٥، ثم تلاها إصدار ثلاثة ملاحق للكود خلال أعوام ١٩٩٦ و١٩٩٧ و٢٠٠٠ حول الاشتراطات والاحتياطات المطلوبة لتصميم المباني المقاومة للزلازل وكذلك حول تقييم المنشآت والمباني القائمة وتأهيلها لمقاومة الزلازل.' It adds that the code 'احتوى لأول مرة على طريقة معتمدة في الحساب' for earthquake resistance, contained for the first time an adopted calculation method. SECOND EDITION 1995 AND THREE SUPPLEMENTS IN 1996, 1997 AND 2000 are therefore in the base code as well as in SRC-167's first edition foreword, which the chapter had from the appendix alone.
READ FURTHER ON 18 AUGUST 2026 ON THE AUTHOR'S INSTRUCTION AT D-079, AND THE READING CHANGES WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT. Chapter 5 at its line 231 says 'The body of the code I have not read, and nothing in this section rests on it.' PAGES 8 TO 24 AND 334 TO 336 WERE RENDERED AT 150 AND 170 DPI AND READ, [THE WORDS THAT STOOD HERE ARE STRUCK, 18 AUGUST 2026, ON MIN-448, AND ARE QUOTED SO A PARTIAL READING OF THIS ROW CANNOT REINTRODUCE THEM: 'WHICH IS THE WHOLE TABLE OF CONTENTS AND THE TWO SEISMIC APPENDICES.' THEY WERE WRONG WHEN WRITTEN. The contents run to printed page 27 and the rendering behind that sentence stopped at 24, which is what the later block in this row records; pages 25 to 27 were rendered on 18 August 2026 and carry an eighth lettered appendix. So pages 8 to 24 are PART of the table of contents.] WHICH IS PART OF THE TABLE OF CONTENTS, PAGES 8 TO 24 OF 8 TO 27, AND THE TWO SEISMIC APPENDICES. THE STRUCTURE, FROM THE CONTENTS PAGES THEMSELVES. The volume is titled الكود الأساس, the BASE CODE. Preface to the fourth edition at printed page 4, preface to the third at 6, contents from 8. THIRTEEN ABWAB: 1 scope and purpose at 28, 2 terms at 31, 3 units and symbols at 33, 4 material properties at 40, and the sequence runs to the thirteenth, which ends at 328 on permitted tolerances in dimensions, verticality, alignment and the placing of reinforcement. THE APPENDICES BEGIN AT 329 AND THERE ARE AT LEAST SEVEN: (أ) SI and metric unit relations and the statistical coefficient k, 329; (ب) aggregate grading curves, 332; (ج) maximum gust speeds recurring once in fifty years in metres per second, 333; (د) THE SEISMIC MAP OF THE SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC USED IN THE EQUIVALENT STATIC METHOD, 334; (هـ) THE TABLE OF PEAK GROUND ACCELERATION VALUES, 335; (و) a developed method for slender compressed elements, 337; (ز) a developed study of moment-resisting frames and shear walls in buildings and structures resistant to earthquakes, from 347. SO THE BASE CODE CARRIES ITS OWN SEISMIC DESIGN DATA AND THE CHAPTER DOES NOT SAY SO. APPENDIX (هـ) READ IN FULL AT PAGE 335. Its heading: جدول بقيم التسارعات الأرضية العظمى (PGA) المحتملة على الطبقة الصخرية الصلبة خلال خمسين عاماً مع احتمالية عدم تجاوز 90% مقدرة بالـ cm/sec2 لأهم مراكز المدن والبلدات في سورية، المستعملة في الطريقة الاستاتيكية المكافئة. In English: peak ground accelerations on hard rock over fifty years at 90 per cent probability of non-exceedance, in centimetres per second squared, for the principal city and town centres of Syria, used in the equivalent static method. IT CARRIES A DESIGN FLOOR IN ITS OWN PARENTHESIS: يتم التصميم لتسارع أرضي يساوي 150 cm/sec2، حيثما ورد أقل من ذلك, design is for a ground acceleration of 150 wherever a lower value appears. VALUES READ FROM THE TABLE, in cm/sec2: Damascus 250, Latakia 300, Idlib 300-400, Ariha 300-400, Bab al-Hawa 300-400, Tell Kalakh 300-400, Afrin 300, Azaz 300, Banias 300, Jableh 300, Daraa 250, Bosra al-Sham 250, Bloudan 250, Izraa 250, Qatana 250, Quteifa 250, Kiswa 250, al-Bab 200, Jaboul 200, Adra 200, Khanasir 200, Salamiyah 200, Palmyra 150, Sabaa Biyar 150, Sukhna 150, Khunayfis 150, Deir ez-Zor 75, Raqqa 75, Qamishli 75, Abu Kamal 75, Tell Abyad 75, Ras al-Ayn 75, al-Tanf 75, Ain al-Arab 75, Amuda 75, Tell Kojak, that is al-Yaarubiyah, 75. THE TABLE IS THREE COLUMN-PAIRS WIDE AND THIS IS PAGE ONE OF IT; ALEPPO AND HOMS ARE NOT ON THE PART READ and no value may be attributed to them from this row. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE CHAPTER, AND IT IS FOR THE AUTHOR AND NOT FOR THIS PROCESS. D-073 CLOSED THE SEISMIC SECTION and v10 to v16 did not reopen its argument. This reading does not reopen it either. What it does is falsify the shape of one sentence: the 2012 base code is not a document whose seismic content lives only in a separate 2013 appendix, it carries a seismic map and a PGA table of its own, and a chapter that says the body is unread and nothing rests on it should say which parts it read and what they contain. THE BODY, MEANING THE THIRTEEN ABWAB BETWEEN PAGES 28 AND 328, REMAINS UNREAD and that is now a bounded and stated quantity rather than an open one.
CORRECTED 18 AUGUST 2026 ON THE D-079 FIVE-CHAPTER DIFF REVIEW, AND THE ERROR WAS AN ASSERTED COUNT FROM AN INCOMPLETE RENDERING. This row said the appendices begin at 329 and that there are AT LEAST SEVEN, lettered alif to zay, and Chapter 5 v17 printed the definite form, seven. THE CONTENTS RUN TO PRINTED PAGE 27 AND ONLY PAGES 8 TO 24 HAD BEEN RENDERED. Pages 25 to 27 were rendered and read on 18 August 2026 and they carry more: page 25 is still inside appendix zay, whose subsections run to printed page 376, and PAGE 27 CARRIES AN EIGHTH APPENDIX, الملحق (ح), دراسة مطورة للأظفار القصيرة والأكتاف, a developed study of short corbels and brackets, at printed pages 397 to 402, itemised from ح-1 تعاريف to ح-7 نظرية القص الاحتكاك. After it the contents list تصويبات للملحق (3) الخاص بالتفاصيل والرسومات at 403, corrections to appendix 3 on details and drawings, and أسماء الزملاء الذين ساهمو مع اللجنة بإغناء الكود at 404, the contributors. SO THE LETTERED APPENDICES RUN ALIF TO HA, WHICH IS EIGHT, AND THE SEVEN WAS WRONG. THE TWO SEISMIC APPENDICES AND THEIR PAGES ARE UNAFFECTED and were read at the document: the map at 334 and the acceleration table at 335. THE LESSON IS THE ONE THIS PROJECT KEEPS RECORDING AND IT IS THE SAME SHAPE AS THE FIGURE-COUNT FAILURES: a count asserted from a partial reading is a claim about the part, not the whole, and the register said 'at least seven' while the prose said 'seven'. THE PROSE NOW NAMES THE SPAN INSTEAD OF COUNTING IT.
AMENDED 18 AUGUST 2026 ON MIN-448. THE ROW STATED TWO INCOMPATIBLE THINGS ABOUT ITS OWN READING for a day: an earlier block called pages 8 to 24 the whole table of contents, and a later block recorded that the contents run to 27 and that page 27 carries an eighth appendix. The earlier claim is struck in place. THE PREVENTION IS MIN-445'S RULE APPLIED TO A ROW'S OWN HISTORY RATHER THAN TO ITS COLUMNS: when a row is corrected, re-read every earlier block in it, because a partial reader meets the first block and not the correction.
THE THIRTEEN CHAPTERS READ IN FULL ON 11 SEPTEMBER 2026, ON AQ-73 ITEM B2, printed pages 28 to 328, together with appendices أ to هـ in full (329 to 336) and appendix و at 337 to 340, every page in order; report at audits/reports/AQ73_B2_2012_base_code_reading_2026-09-11.md. Chapter 5 v58 line 241 said 'The thirteen chapters I have not read, and nothing in this section rests on them', and the row's statement that the body 'REMAINS UNREAD' is superseded by this block. STRUCTURE CONFIRMED AT THE PAGE: 1 المجال والغاية 28-30; 2 المصطلحات 31-32; 3 الوحدات والرموز 33-39; 4 خواص المواد 40-69; 5 تقييم الأفعال 70-102; 6 تحديد الأمان 103-108; 7 الاشتراطات العامة للتصميم والتنفيذ 109-187; 8 الافتراضات الأساسية في تحليل المنشآت 188-229; 9 حالات الحدود القصوى 230-266; 10 حالات حدود الاستثمار 267-291; 11 التماسك والإرساء وتفاصيل التسليح 292-304; 12 إعداد الرسومات 305-308; 13 القوالب والتنفيذ والاختبار 309-328, ending at 13-10-4-3 on the tolerance in placing transverse reinforcement. THE BASE CODE CARRIES SEISMIC DESIGN RULES OF ITS OWN, NOT ONLY THE MAP AND TABLE: 5-6 at pp93-102 divides the country into seven zones on Modified Mercalli intensity (0 to 4, with 2A, 2B, 2C) at accelerations to 0.40g, gives Z by zone in Table 5-10 (0, 0.075, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.40), explains the equivalent static method in principle, gives period formulas, and at 5-6-1 p94 provides verbatim 'يُعتمد في الجمهورية العربية السورية التصنيف المذكور أعلاه بالنسبة لأحمال الزلازل، وفقاً للخارطة الزلزالية الواردة في الملحق (د) والجدول في الملحق (هـ) من هذا الكود. وفقاً لهذا الكود يتوجب تصميم وتنفيذ كل منشأة وكل جزء منها لمقاومة قوى أفقية كلية دنيا تمثل قوى الزلازل، وتحسب بالطريقة المناسبة من الطريقة الاستاتيكية المكافئة أو من الطريقة الاستاتيكية المكافئة المطورة أو من إحدى الطرائق الديناميكية الواردة في الملحق رقم (2) الخاص بالزلازل'. At p95: 'سيتم في هذا الكود الأساس، شرح مبادىء الطريقة الاستاتيكية المكافئة فقط، وسيتم في الملحق (2) الخاص بالزلازل تفصيل الطريقتين الاستاتيكية المكافئة والاستاتيكية المكافئة المطورة والطرائق الديناميكية.' SO THE DECEMBER 2012 BASE CODE ALREADY NAMES THE DEVELOPED EQUIVALENT STATIC METHOD THAT SRC-167 RECORDS THE JANUARY 2013 APPENDIX AS ADDING, and cites 'الملحق (ج) من الملحق (2)' for it; the two volumes are written to each other. SITE CLASSES, 5-6-2-5 at pp98-99: 'يتم تقييم الترابط المشترك بين المنشأة وتربة تأسيسها عن طريق قياس سرعة أمواج القص ضمن تربة التأسيس، حيث يتم تصنيف مقاطع التربة إلى ستة أصناف (SA-SB-SC-SD-SE-SF) وفقاً لسرعة أمواج القص ... كما هو مبين في الملحق (2)'. The base code names six classes by shear-wave velocity and delegates the procedure to Appendix 2; THE ROUTE PAST IT AT 9-2-7 OF SRC-167 IS NOT IN THE BASE CODE, which does not mention allowable stresses as a substitute. I and R are taken from Appendix 2 (p96). THE 300-TO-400 RULE HAS A COUNTERPART IN THE BODY, p95, in Z: intermediate values per the map may be adopted 'حتى لو زادت على القيمة 0.30 ماعدا المنشآت الخاصة وبناءً على دراسات زلزالية مفصلة للموقع قيد الدراسة يمكن أن تصل إلى القيمة 0.40'; the syntax is loose and my reading of which structures may exceed 0.30 is mine and unchecked. LOAD COMBINATIONS WITH EARTHQUAKE, 6-3-2-1 at pp105-106, stated to be those of Appendix 2: U = 1.32 D + 1.1 E + 1.1 (f1 L + f2 S) and U = 0.99 D plus or minus (1.1 E or 1.3 W); the developed method's combinations are in appendix ج of Appendix 2; 'لا يُجمع أثر الزلازل مع أثر الرياح'. Allowable soil stress under seismic combinations may be raised 1.6 to 2.0 (6-3-4, p107). SEISMIC DESIGN MAY NOT BE DONE BY ALLOWABLE STRESSES: 10-3-1-1 point 4, p270, 'في حال إدخال أفعال الهزات الأرضية في الحساب، يصبح التحقق ... وفق حالات حدود المقاومة الواردة في الباب التاسع، إلزامياً'. DUCTILITY AND DETAILING: 6-3-1 p104 requires ductile failure modes at critical sections; 7-1-4 (و) p112 requires special moment frames in zones 3 and 4 per appendix ز and Appendix 2, the base code's own intermediate frame being a local and expressly weaker definition; 7-1-4 (ح) sets minimum transverse steel in zones 2A to 4; 7-11 at pp184-187 gives the base code's own seismic detailing for beams, columns and ground beams, a materials floor for earthquake zones (concrete not below C18, steel yield 240 to 400 MPa, also at Table 4-1 note 3 p41 and p59), and AN EXPRESS EXEMPTION FROM SEISMIC CALCULATION for ordinary cast-in-place regular buildings 'في المناطق الزلزالية 0 و 1' only, up to 8.5 m without two-way shear walls and 15 m with them, height-to-least-plan-dimension not above 2.5. 7-11 opens by citing Appendix 4 on existing buildings as though issued, where p4 says it was under completion. 5-6-7 p101: use of appendix ز is not obligatory except chapters ز-7, ز-9, ز-11 and ز-13. A PASSAGE THAT QUALIFIES THE 2004 PREFACE'S FOURTEEN MANDATORY APPENDICES, 8-13 at p229, verbatim: 'الملاحق المذكورة أدناه، بعضها صدر وبعضها الآخر قيد الإصدار، ولحين إصدارها يسمح بالاعتماد على أحد الكودات العالمية من أجل الخواص المتعلقة بها.' The 2012 body says some numbered appendices were issued and some in course of issue, with an international code permitted meanwhile; the reprinted 2004 mandate attaches to the appendices as issued, and the chapter should carry this. Chapter 1 at p28 likewise applies the appendices 'حين صدورها'. NO CHAPTER NAMES THE 2004 THIRD EDITION, IBC 2009 OR ASCE-7; the base code's seismic framework at 5-6 is of the UBC-97 form SRC-167 records for the equivalent static method, and nothing in the body contradicts the chapter's attribution of the IBC and ASCE-7 basis to the 2013 appendix. THE DUTIES CHAPTER 5 LINE 243 TAKES FROM SRC-160 ARE HALF IN THE CODE: 1-1-7 p29 'يشترط أن يتولى مهندس نقابي اختصاصي مسؤول أعمال التصميم والحسابات والإشراف على التنفيذ والتحقق، وله أن يستعين بغيره على مسؤوليته'; 12-1 p305 'قبل الحصول على ترخيص لإقامة كل منشأة، يلزم أن تقدم رسومات كاملة واضحة لأعمال الخرسانة المسلحة تعدّ وفقاً لحسابات ساكنة (ستاتيكية)، بمعرفة مهندسين مؤهلين جامعياً يتولون أعمال التصميم والحسابات والمراجعة والإشراف على التنفيذ'; 12-3-3 pp306-307, the title block of every working drawing carries 'اسم المهندس الإنشائي المسؤول وعنوانه وتوقيعه' and 'اسم المقاول (أو الجهة المسؤولة عن التنفيذ) وتوقيعه' and a dated summary of amendments with copies kept before and after; 1-1-2 p28 the code 'يعد ... جزءاً من أنظمة البناء وقوانينه في الجمهورية العربية السورية'. NOT IN THE THIRTEEN CHAPTERS: any provision assigning oversight during construction to the Engineers Syndicate or to the local administrative units; the code's inspection provisions name the executing engineer (13-1-2 p310), the responsible engineer (13-7-3-3 and 13-7-3-4 pp321-322), specialist engineers (13-8-3 p325, 13-9 p325) and central batching plants (13-7-3-3 p321). That absence is bounded to pages 28 to 340 of this volume and to nothing else; the oversight limb of line 243 still rests on SRC-160. REGISTERS THE CODE ITSELF NAMES [heading amended 13 September 2026 on the wave A diff review: it read 'REQUIRES', and the 13-7-3-3 entry below is conditional, the clause applying 'في المجابل المركزية التي تحتفظ بسجلات', at plants which keep such records; the code does not require the register]: a declaration registered at the Syndicate, signed by owner and designer, where a garage is designed for vehicles not over 3 tonnes (5-3, p76); a log of the hour and date of every pour for each part of the building (13-5-5 p314); numbered specimens delivered to a laboratory and kept under standard conditions (13-7-3-2 p320); at central batching plants 'سجلات لنتائج مقاومات العينات الخرسانية' tested on every thirty consecutive specimens (13-7-3-3 p321); and where concrete is rejected, the responsible engineer's remedies end in 'التدعيم أصولاً وفق دراسة تقنية يقوم بها مهندس مختص' or the structure being 'غير صالح للاستعمال للغرض المقصود أصلاً' (13-7-3-4 p322). APPENDIX هـ PAGE TWO, p336, NOW READ, WHICH THE EARLIER BLOCK SAID WAS NOT: Aleppo 250, Homs 250, Hama 300, Jisr al-Shughur 300-400, Harem 300-400, Masyaf 300-400, Safita 300-400, Jusiyah 300-400, al-Hiffa 300-400, Slunfeh 300-400, Tartous 250, Hasakah 75, Mayadin 75, al-Malikiyah 75, al-Yaarubiyah 75, Jarablus 150, Manbij 150, Maskanah 150, Jayrud 150, Khan Shaykhun 300, Maarat al-Numan 300, Khan Arnabah 300, Arnah 300, and beneath the table, word for word as SRC-167 records it of the 2013 appendix: 'جميع الحقول المدون فيها قيم 300-400 تؤخذ كما يلي: جميع المباني والمنشآت: 300 ما عدا الواردة أدناه. المنشآت الخاصة التي يؤدي دمارها إلى كوارث بشرية وبيئية: يطلب حساب التسارع لها في موقعها وفق دراسات تفصيلية، وقد تزيد قيمها على 300، ويمكن أن تصل إلى حوالي 400.' The statement earlier in this row that 'no value may be attributed to them from this row' for Aleppo and Homs is superseded. APPENDIX د p334: the map's credits box names هيئة الطاقة الذرية السورية، قسم الجيولوجيا as preparer, المؤسسة العامة للجيولوجيا and جامعة دمشق as collaborators, and the GSHAP map and a master's thesis among its sources; the personal names are not reliably legible and are not recorded. The same 150 cm/sec2 floor is printed beneath the map. INTERNAL DISCREPANCIES IN THE VOLUME, RECORDED AND NOT RESOLVED: 4-2-5 p59 cross-refers the k table to 'الملحق (ز)' where it is appendix أ; 6-4-1-1 (و) p108 cross-refers to a section 10-3-1-4 that does not exist as numbered, the provision being 10-3-1-1 point 4; the shear-wall effective-depth inequalities at 9-2-10-7 p266 and 10-3-7-7 p285 are internally inconsistent as printed; 5-6-2-5 p98 prints C-D where SD is expected. NOTHING MAY REST ON THIS ROW ABOUT PAGES 341 TO 404, which are not rendered: the rest of appendix و, appendix ز in full, appendix ح, the corrections to Appendix 3 and the contributors. Rendering them is a route this process can execute and has not. VERIFIED BY THE ORCHESTRATOR AT THE PAGE, 12 September 2026: p094 (5-6-1, the equivalent-static, developed and dynamic methods and the reference to Appendix 2) and p229 (8-13, some appendices issued and some in course of issue, an international code permitted meanwhile) read at the images and the quotations above are verbatim.
