| Abstract | This paper summarizes a new seismic risk screening tool for existing buildings in Canada. The tool consists of methodologies for seismic risk screening of structural and non-structural components of existing buildings. The tool aims to identify and prioritize existing buildings with potential unacceptable seismic risk for further seismic evaluation. The seismic risk of the structure is based on the probability of building collapse and identified consequences of failure to life safety. The global seismic risk of nonstructural components is qualitatively assessed based on seismic demand of the most critical non-structural components and identified consequence of failure to life safety. Calculated structural and non-structural scores are compared with corresponding structural and non-structural components thresholds, which are function of consequences of building failure. In general, the scoring systems reflect the expected seismic risk for different seismic zones. An example of seismic screening of a concrete shear wall building in Montreal and Vancouver illustrates the use of the seismic risk screening tool. |
