Building Codes Save: A Nationwide Study Appendices
Date Published: November 19, 2020
The resource provides detailed insights into seismic hazard methodologies and an extrapolation exercise to estimate potential losses avoided through the adoption of I-Codes in the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ). It covers building codes, loss avoidance analysis, seismic hazard-weighted population prioritization, GIS soil data, and code adoption histories in NMSZ states. The document also discusses code adoption in various states, categorization of priority levels, extrapolation of loss avoidance data from western seismic states to NMSZ states, and limitations of the extrapolation approach.
