Seismic Inventory Database (SID)

Portland, Oregon

Worked with BPA to develop a Seismic Inventory Database (SID) to identify potential seismically vulnerable building assets within the BPA system. The SID will be used to prioritize vulnerable buildings based on ASCE-31 Common Building Type, geographic seismic hazard, total building area and BPA function priority (i.e. “mission critical” or “non-mission critical”). The SID is being used by BPA to develop a priority ranking system that will serve as a road map for future selection and mitigation of seismically vulnerable building assets.
