| Abstract | The 6th Generation Seismic Hazard Model of Canada (CanadaSHM6) provides the basis for seismic design values proposed by Natural Resources Canada for the 2020 edition of the National Building Code of
Canada (NBCC 2020). This Open File includes OpenQuake compatible source model files that will generate seismic hazard values as currently being proposed. Example hazard values at selected localities are included, in order to verify that the model has
been implemented as intended. Once NBCC 2020 is finalized, this report will be superseded by a subsequent Open File, to document the final model used to generate seismic hazard values using CanadaSHM6 for NBCC 2020. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
Canada's 6th Generation seismic hazard model is proposed to be the basis for the seismic design requirements in the 2020 National Building Code of
Canada. The Open File provides the 6th Generation model input files which can be used directly with the OpenQuake hazard calculation software package (or implemented with other software) to estimate hazard for any locality in Canada. |
