Abstract | The Level 2 – Semi-Quantitative Seismic Risk Screening Tool (SQST) for existing wood light frame buildings under Part 9 of the NBC (WLF-P9) aims to inexpensively identify and exempt existing WLF-P9 buildings with acceptable seismic risks from Level 3 – Seismic Evaluation Guidelines (SEG) and to prioritize existing WLF-P9 buildings with potentially unacceptable seismic risks for Level 3 – SEG. It is preceded by the Level 1 – Preliminary Seismic Risk Screening Tool (PST) for existing WLF-P9 buildings under Part 9 of the NBC.
The methodology in Level 2 – SQST (WLF-P9) is based on Level 2- SQST originally developed for existing buildings under Part 4 of the NBC (also known as Part 4 buildings). It consists of a structural scoring system, a non-structural component scoring system, and a ranking procedure. Level 2 – SQST (WLF-P9) is designed to be completed by trained screeners using Level 2 – SQST (WLF-P9) screening forms. A site visit is required for collecting building information such as building deterioration or damage and non-structural hazards. |
