Seismic Design Categories (SDCs) for Shipping Containers SDC A & B (Low-Risk Zones) – Minimal seismic reinforcement required. SDC C (Moderate Risk) – Foundation anchoring and structural bracing recommended. SDC D & E (High-Risk Areas) – Requires advanced seismic reinforcements, base isolators, and energy dissipation systems.
