9 vii. Geological Site Hazards and Foundation Checklist viii. Basic Non-structural Component Checklist 2. Gravity Loading Evaluation Definitions YELLOW AMBER RED Factor of Safety (FS) of Column Strength is greater than the building is fully safe Factor of Safety (FS) of Column Strength is between 1.5 and the building is marginally safe Factor of Safety (FS) of Column Strength is between 1.25 and the building's safety is not fully ensured Factor of Safety (FS) of Column Strength is less than the building is unsafe 3. Seismic Performance Ratings ( ) GOOD FAIR POOR VERY POOR Buildings and other structures whose performance during a major seismic disturbance is anticipated to result in structural and nonstructural damage and/or falling hazards that would not significantly jeopardize life. Buildings and other structures with a GOOD rating would represent an acceptable level of earthquake safety, such that funds need not be spent to improve their seismic resistance to gain greater life safety. Buildings and other structures whose performance during a major seismic disturbance is anticipated to result in structural and nonstructural damage and/or falling hazards that would represent low life hazards. Buildings and other structures with a FAIR seismic rating would be given a low priority for expenditures to improve their seismic resistance and/or to reduce falling hazards so that the building could be reclassified GOOD. Buildings and other structures expected to sustain significant structural and nonstructural damage and/or result in falling hazards in a major seismic disturbance, representing appreciable life hazards. Such buildings or structures either would be given a high priority for expenditures to improve their seismic resistance and/or to reduce falling hazards so that the building could be reclassified GOOD, or would be considered for other abatement programs, such as reduction of occupancy. Buildings and other structures whose performance during a major seismic disturbance is anticipated to result in extensive structural and nonstructural damage, potential structural collapse, and/or falling hazards that would represent high life hazards. Such buildings or structures either would be given the highest priority for expenditures to improve their seismic resistance and/or to reduce falling hazards so that the building could be reclassified GOOD, or would be considered for other abatement programs, such as reduction of occupancy.
