8 Building Characteristics What is it made of and lateral load bearing system? Concrete shear-wall, wood frame, etc. How tall? How old? Stiffness irregularities? Strength Ductility Natural Period (or Frequency) of Vibration Load Y U Plastic Deformation Elastic Deformation Deformation Tuna Onur, Sep. 2016
9 Other Risk Modeling Considerations: 1. Liquefaction 2. Earthquake triggered landslides 3. Fire following earthquake 4. Tsunamis 5. Damage to non-structural elements 6. Damage to contents 7. Time-element losses such as business interruption 8. Non-modeled losses Beyond Property Risk: 1. Humanitarian: a. Casualties b. Safety & security 2. Infrastructure: a. Transportation b. Communication c. Water d. Sewer e. Power Tuna Onur, Sep. 2016
10 National Building Code (NBC) is a model building code, issued by the National Research Council of Canada It can only be enforced if/when provinces adopt it (with or without modifications or supplementary requirements) Enforced at the local level Latest edition: 2015 Tuna Onur, Sep. 2016
11 Part 4 Structural Design (Explicit Seismic Provisions) All buildings that do not fall into Part 9 Part 9 Housing & Small Buildings (Prescriptive Requirements) 3 storeys or lower & footprint area < 600 m 2 Primary Objective: Minimize Loss of Life by Way of Preventing Building Collapse Tuna Onur, Sep. 2016
12 U Load Y Explicit aim of the NBC 2015 s seismic provisions: collapse prevention Deformation Tuna Onur, Sep. 2016
