Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings (ASCE 31-03), provides a
three-tiered process for seismic evaluation of existing buildings
in any level of seismicity. Buildings are evaluated to either the
Life Safety or Immediate Occupancy Performance Level. This standard
is intended to serve as a nationally applicable tool for design
professionals, code officials, and building owners looking to
seismically evaluate existing buildings. A major portion is
dedicated to instructing the evaluating design professional on how
to determine if a building is adequately designed and constructed
to resist seismic forces. The design of mitigation measures is not
addressed in this standard. ""ASCE 31-03"" is intended to replace
""FEMA 310, Handbook for Seismic Evaluation of Buildings - A
Prestandard"" (FEMA, 1998). All aspects of building performance are
considered and defined in terms of structural, nonstructural, and
foundation/geologic hazard issues. This standard was written to:
reflect advancements in technology; incorporate the experience of
design professionals; incorporate lessons learned during recent
earthquakes; be compatible with ""FEMA 356, Prestandard and
Commentary for the Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings"" (FEMA,
2000c); be suitable for adoption in building codes and contracts;
be nationally applicable; and provide evaluation techniques.
