Where the report
Where the report
(OP)
Hi all,
General question about building seismic report, where is the first place to go for information on a commercial or industrial, or institutional seismic building report??
Now I have O&M and as-built from construction several years ago and I have scanned O&M's and drawings pretty good with shallow results like pipe hanger support ISAT and ICBO Reports.
But no real building reports the will stand as a building report with Seismic information.
All I have found is a consistent Seismic Design Category "D" for equipment and no building info.
Any help is good help.
Thank you

I am not sure at all as to where this would be found like on the drawings or in a report or even a commissioning report. Just not sure where or what I would find. I am tasked to find out.
Maybe a final report saying or certifying the building is:
Site is IBC class C
Structures are IBC class D
Any ideas?

I meant no harm in my question, I simply do not know.

Thank you, you have shed some light on the subject.
I have seen some "Structural Calculations" reports that do show a Seismic Forces ASCE 7-05 Site Class D with a BLDG Frame of .123 = V/W = p x Cs. This was in the "Design Criteria" of the Structural Calculation report.
My very vague understanding is that there is a "Site Class" rating (A-F) and a "Structural Class" design rating (A-F). This is a Seismic rating I am referring to. I did not know that Drawing included them as well and will start back checking them.
If we were to have our building selected as a designated "Safe Zone" for emergency operations would this require a completed Seismic report to be eligible or just the collected drawings would be enough?
Thank you
