| Abstract | An investigation has been done to update key input parameters in the recent seismic-risk-screening tools developed by the National Research Council Canada for the six seismic categories. In this study, the seismic categorization system in the recent seismic-risk-screening tools of the National Research Council Canada is extended to include Canadian buildings abroad by including threshold peak ground acceleration values, a more global set of modified Mercalli intensity, peak ground acceleration, and spectral response acceleration and peak ground acceleration relationships. The relationships among spectral response acceleration, peak ground acceleration, and peak ground velocity values have been derived using least-squares regression analyses to obtain the threshold values of both peak values associated with various modified Mercalli intensity values for each seismic category. Based on the updated relationships, the seismic categorization system is applied to 679 locations in Canada and 226 locations outside Canada. |
