Th

3、e 1989 Loma Prieta, California earthquake, which caused more than $6 billionin damage, accelerated the trend toward considering loss estimation in real estate transactions. The1994 Northridge, California earthquake, with over $20 billion in damage, made seismic riskassessment an integral part of rea

4、l estate financial decision-making for regions at risk of damagingearthquakes. Users of Seismic Risk Assessment reports need specific and consistent measures forassessing the possibility of future loss due to earthquake occurrences. This guide discusses specificapproaches that the real estate and te

5、chnical communities can consider a basis for characterizing theseismic risk assessment of buildings in an earthquake. It uses two concepts to characterize earthquakeloss: probable loss (PL) and scenario loss (SL). Use of the term probable maximum loss (PML) isacceptable, provided it is specifically

6、and adequately defined by the User.1. Scope1.1 This guide provides guidance on conducting seismicrisk assessments for buildings. As such, this guide assists aUser to assess a propertys potential for losses from earthquakeoccurrences.1.1.1 Hazards addressed in this guide include:1.1.1.1 Earthquake gr

Users are cautioned thatcurrent federal, state, and local laws and regulations may differfrom those in effect at the

12、, and the document review andresearch considered appropriate, practical, sufficient, and rea-sonable for seismic risk assessment;1.2.4 To establish guidelines on what reasonably can beexpected of and delivered by a Provider in conducting theseismic risk assessment of buildings; and1.2.5 To establish

13、 guidelines by which a Provider cancommunicate to the User observations, opinions, and conclu-sions in a manner that is meaningful and not misleading eitherby content or by omission.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.

41、all the values that can occur multipliedby the probability of their occurrence. (Compare: medianvalue.)3.2.17 fault zone, narea within a prescribed distance fromany of the surface traces of a fault.3.2.17.1 DiscussionThe distance depends on the magni-tude of earthquakes that could occur on the fault

42、typically500 ft (152 m) from major faults, which are those capable ofearthquakes with magnitudes of 6.5 or greater, and 250 ft(761 m) away from other well-defined faults. WithinCalifornia, the fault zones are determined by the CaliforniaGeological Survey under the Earthquake Special Studies ZonesAct

45、(s), and is not inany way affiliated with the Provider.3.2.19.1 DiscussionThe concept may also be representedby the phrase “Independent Peer Reviewer.” IndependentReview is conducted during the seismic risk assessment (andtypically involves interaction with the Provider) rather thanafter the complet

See 6.4 and 6.5.3.2.20 interdependency, na condition wherein the func-tion of the building is dependent on another building, onutilities, or on other critical elements in the supply chain.3.2.20.1 DiscussionOther critical elements include
