| Abstract | Seismic hazard values are estimated for 226 Canadian Missions abroad. We started with results from the GEM global seismic hazard model, supplemented by values from the literature. The available values
were adapted as necessary by applying spectral shape and magnification factors to get the spectral acceleration values needed. The factors required were derived from Canadian seismic hazard results. The hazard values are intended for screening
purposes to assess safety of Missions and continuity of consular services in the context of the 2015 National Building Code of Canada. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
Seismic hazard values are estimated for 226 Canadian missions abroad. Results are based largely on the GEM global seismic hazard model and supplemented
by hazard values recently published in the literature. In most cases available hazard values were adjusted to give parameters used in the 2015 National Building Code of Canada. It is intended that the hazard values will be used as a screening tool to
assess the seismic safety of the missions. |
