  • Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings, Standard ASCE/SEI 41-23

    Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings, Standard ASCE/SEI 41-23

    Standard ASCE/SEI 41-23 describes deficiency-based and systematic procedures that use performance-based principles to evaluate and retrofit existing buildings to withstand the effects of earthquakes. The standard presents a three-tiered process for seismic evaluation according to a range of building performance levels by connecting targeted structural performance and the performance of nonstructural components with seismic hazard levels. The deficiency-based procedures allow evaluation and retrofit efforts to focus on specific potential deficiencies deemed to be of concern for a specified set of building types and heights. The systematic procedure, applicable to any building, sets forth a methodology to evaluate the entire building in a rigorous manner.

    ASCE/COS 73-23, addresses development and implementation of sustainable infrastructure solutions through the entire infrastructure life cycle. It can be used for infrastructure solutions of any scale, although it is specifically not intended to unduly burden small projects.

    The standard guides project leaders to encourage transformative development of the infrastructure solution from the earliest stages; consider and analyze all reasonable alternatives; and consider natural, no-construction, and constructed project solutions. It also provides life-cycle cost analysis requirements to protect and professionally steward private and public funds.
