This report provides a framework for the application of engineering judgement in determining when a significant life safety hazard occurs – that is, the point at which the loss of gravity load support occurs. It has been produced by the Joint Committee for Seismic Assessment and Retrofit of Existing Buildings and seeks to augment the Seismic Assessment Guidelines to inform and improve aspects of current assessment practice.
