SUMMARY:Application of NRC’s Tier 1 and Tier 2 Seismic Evaluation & Deficiency-Based Upgrading Procedures to an Existing Canadian Building
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nEarthquakes are among the most destructive natural disasters\, capable of causing severe casualties and significant economic losses. For building owners\, assessing and mitigating seismic risks in existing buildings poses both technical and economic challenges. In Canada\, there has long been a need for nationwide technical guidelines for seismic evaluation and upgrading. The National Research Council Canada (NRC) first addressed this in the 1990s by publishing Guidelines for Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings and Guideline for Seismic Upgrading od Building Structures. However\, these documents were never updated and have since become outdated. \nCurrently\, the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) Commentary L recommends ASCE 41 Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings as a reference for seismic evaluation and upgrading. While comprehensive\, ASCE 41 is based on American design and construction practices\, and its direct applicability to Canada requires careful consideration. \nRecognizing this gap\, the Seismic Resilience Team at NRC’s Construction Research Centre has spent the past seven years developing updated\, Canadian‑specific technical guidelines—the newly released Level 3 – Seismic Evaluation Guidelines (SEG) and Seismic Upgrading Guidelines (SUG) for existing buildings in Canada. \nDesigned to help professionals apply these new guidelines for effective implementation\, and to improve safety and resilience of existing buildings\, a series of webinars and training workshops are being delivered by the NRC in partnership with CAEES. \nBuilding on the preceding webinars that provided an overview of the Level 3 – SEG and SUG\, this session demonstrates their practical application through a real‑world case study: \n\nTier 1 Quick Evaluation: Identify potential seismic deficiencies in the building.\nTier 2 Deficiency-Based Evaluation: Determine whether the identified potential deficiencies represent actual deficiencies.\nDeficiency-Based Upgrading: Implement upgrading measures to address the confirmed seismic deficiencies identified in Tier 2.\n\n\nClick this LINK for more details and to register.
