7 EARTHQUAKE STATS 2 Earthquakes per week in the New Madrid region M6+ Every 70 years.40-60% M6 Within 15 yr M in Utah about once every 7-10 years All 50 states have experienced an earthquake 39 are at risk of moderate to major earthquakes US has 10 moderate earthquakes per year Worldwide (17) 7.0 to 7.9 earthquakes occurs each year. About 1 great earthquake (8.0+) per yr. 12/28/ Introduction

8 The MCE Map Developed by SSI Seismic Source International

9 Earthquakes Affecting Code Change 1964 Prince William Sound rated 8.4 (second largest this century), claimed 131 lives San Fernando, California rated 6.6, claimed 65 lives; estimated peak ground acceleration 0.75g. Seismic Source International

10 SEISMIC DESIGN FOR EQUIPMENT INSTALLED INTO MODEL CODES International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) Uniform Building Code (UBC) First edition ; Latest 1997 Seismic design loads for structures s Seismic design loads for equipment Building Officials and Code Administrators International (BOCA) National Building Code (commonly called BOCA ) First edition ; Latest edition Seismic design loads for equipment Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI) Standard Building Code (SBC) First edition ; Latest edition Seismic design loads for equipment

11 Earthquakes That Influenced the Code and FEMA to Take Action 1989 Santa Cruz, California (Loma Preita) rated 7.0 and claimed 69 lives with $10 billion in damages; peak ground acceleration 0.50g Los Angeles, California (Northridge) rated 6.6, devastated Los Angeles; $80 billion in damages, substantial damage to nonstructural failures. Seismic Source International

12 Past Earthquakes Prompted FEMA to Take Action FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) spent almost 100 billion dollars in aid for the repairs to damage caused by 1989 and 1994 earthquakes % for non-structural damage Four agencies joined to initiate the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP): Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST). National Science Foundation (NSF). United States Geological Survey (USGS). Seismic Source International

13 FEMA s Public Assistance Policy Implemented Seismic Safety - New Construction. Date Published: January 13, Response and Recovery Directorate: Policy: All construction of new buildings that is eligible under the Public Assistance Program must use appropriate seismic design and construction standards and practices. Seismic Source International

14 IBC 2000 PUBLISHED UBC, SBC, BOCA combined to create the International Code Council - ICC In 2000 the ICC published the International Building Code IBC 2000 Seismic requirements are based on the NEHRP provisions. States had to adopt it to secure FEMA funding. 12/28/2010 Electrical Generating Systems Association Fall Conference 14

15 IBC 2000 INTRODUCES SEISMIC QUALIFICATION 12/28/2010 Electrical Generating Systems Association Fall Conference 15

16 LET S DEFINE SOME CODE TERMS AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION (AHJ): ASCE, The organization, political subdivision, office enforcing the building code. REGISTERED DESIGN PROFESIONAL(RDP): ASCE,11.2 & IBC, An architect or engineer, registered or licensed to practice professional architecture or engineering per laws of the state and designated on building permit. 12/28/2010 Electrical Generating Systems Association Fall Conference 16

17 LET S DEFINE SOME CODE TERMS CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE (IBC, 1702):A certificate stating that materials and products meet specified standards or that work was done in compliance with approved construction documents. APPROVED AGENCY (IBC, 1702): An established and recognized agency regularly engaged in conducting tests or furnishing inspection services, when such agency has been approved. 12/28/2010 Electrical Generating Systems Association Fall Conference 17

18 LET S DEFINE SOME CODE TERMS SPECIAL SEISMIC CERTIFICATION ( ASCE 13.2): Designated, Active mechanical and electrical equipment that must remain operable shall be certified by the supplier based on approved shake table testing or experience data. SPECIAL INSPECTOR(IBC, 1702 & ASCE 11.2): Approved by the AHJ to observe the work to determine compliance with approved construction documents and code. 12/28/2010 Electrical Generating Systems Association Fall Conference 18

19 LET S DEFINE SOME CODE TERMS LABEL ( IBC 1702, ASCE 13.2): An identification applied on a product by the manufacturer with mfg. name, function performance, name of an approved agency that indicates that a representative sample of product has been tested and(/or) evaluated by the approved agency. 12/28/2010 Electrical Generating Systems Association Fall Conference 19

20 HELPFUL ISO TERMS CERTIFIED/REGISTERED(LISTED): Written assurance (certificate) by an independent external body; audited management system; verified conformance to a standard; records certification in client register. ACCREDITED IB: formal recognition by a accreditation body (IAS) that a certification body is competent to carry out certification in specified business sectors. Accreditation is like certification of the certification body, providing increased credibility. ISO ACCREDITED TEST LAB(ISO 17025) do not certify only test 12/28/2010 Electrical Generating Systems Association Fall Conference 20

21 Who is Responsible? RDP Legally responsible to follow the code as a minimum set of requirements or if the AHJ or owner has more stringent requirements. Include seismic criteria on construction documents Schedule equipment Ip and Designated Seismic Systems Include statement of special inspection requirements Review and approve certificate of compliance Design anchors, pipe, duct and raceway bracing and interrelation with equipment Seismic Source International

22 Who is Responsible? Manufacturer Legally responsible to follow the code as a minimum set of requirements or if the AHJ or owner has more stringent requirements. Test or analyze per code and reference standards Submit Certificate of compliance Label, including qualification agency and (accredited)i.b. Contractor Install per construction documents and mfg. instructions Maintain a Q.A. plan with procedures for exercising control over installation and maintaining records Seismic Source International

23 Who is Responsible? Special Inspector Special inspectors shall keep records of inspections, furnish inspection reports to the building official, and registered design professional in responsible charge. Reports shall indicate that work inspected was done in conformance to Label and approved construction documents. Discrepancies shall be brought to the immediate attention of the contractor for correction. Seismic Source International

24 Who is Responsible? Authority Having Jurisdiction - Approves the RDP construction documents, Equipment C.O.C., and special inspection report. Limited time and info dissemination has allowed engineers and contractors to ignore the requirements to install seismic qualified equipment. Most AHJ do not have the capacity or capability to verify agencies. AHJ has no legal responsibility if anything goes wrong. Seismic Source International

25 Who is Responsible? Accredited IB certifies products (not AHJ) Serves the AHJ, RDP, and manufacturer in support of verifying the credibility of a C.O.C and the qualification agency. Seismic Source International

37 Product Design Liability: An Attorney s Perspective Presented by Joe Vallort Chilton, Yambert, Porter & Young, LLP

38 Reaction California Legislature Allows lawsuits if Uniform Building Code requirements, including earthquake standards, are violated. No property damage or personal injury needed. But, must give builder/designer a chance to cure defects before filing suit.

39 Similar statutes in other states Kansas, Missouri, West Virginia, Tennessee No personal injury or property damage needed to file suit for code violation. Must give builder/designer a chance to cure defect.

40 Judge-made law Liability for code violations with no personal injury or property damage. South Carolina Cost to get building up to code. Diminished value of building. Possible punitive damages.

41 Increased Exposure Depending on state, property damage or personal injury no longer needed. Money at risk: Cost to get building up to code Diminished value of building Possible punitive damages for gross negligence.
