| Abstract | Seismic hazard design values are estimated for 161 Canadian Missions abroad. The method is broadly based on applying spectral shape and magnification factors to move from the 10%-in-50-year Peak
horizontal Ground Acceleration (PGA) values given by the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) to the 2%-in-50-year PGA and spectral acceleration values desired. The factors were derived from Canadian seismic hazard results, and the
resulting design factors are intended to be applied in the context of the Canadian Building Code in order to deliver appropriate safety to the Missions and continuity of consular services. |
