6-A3 Building-Specific Properties

California Administrative Code 2019 > 6 Seismic Evaluation Procedures for Hospital Buildings > H To Chapter 6 HAZUS AEBM Regulations > 6-A3 Building-Specific Properties
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

Building-specific properties are based on the building type (structural system), or Model Building Type (MBT), building height (number of stories above seismic base), building age (pre-1933, 1933 — 1961 or post-1961 design vintage), availability of materials testing data, and Significant Structural Deficiencies.

Table A6-1 lists Significant Structural Deficiencies. Table A6-1 includes older buildings (pre-1933 buildings) and buildings that do not have available materials test data, and treats these conditions as Significant Structural Deficiencies.

SPC-1 buildings with no Significant Structural Deficiencies are evaluated using "Baseline" values of building-specific properties. SPC-1 buildings with one or more Significant Structural Deficiencies are evaluated using SubBaseline (SubBase), or Ultra-Sub-Baseline (USB) buildingspecific properties, as specified in Table A6-1.

Building-specific properties include parameters related to (1) building capacity, (2) building response, (3) Complete Structural Damage, and (4) building collapse. Appendix H Sections 6-A4 through 6-A7, define the parameters of interest related to building capacity, building response, Complete Structural Damage and building collapse, respectively, and specify appropriate values of these parameters.
