摘要: This study recommends a minimum seismic reliability level for critical equipment systems located m seismically vulnerable facilities. It describes a methodology to achieve cost-effective risk mitigation and applies that methodology to a test case involving an automatic sprinkler system in a high-risk building. The study builds on previously published works in this area that provide guidelines for identifying equipment systems that are important for either the normal operation of a facility or for life safety protection. By making it possible to calculate quantitative risk scores, the methodology provides basis both for evaluating the seismic adequacy of equipment systems and for making cost-effective equipment retrofit decisions. The methodology is primarily for use in areas of high seismicity. In addition to this report, an inventory of taxable high-rise buildings in San Francisco (as of January 1997) 1 spreadsheet format (Excel 97 and Lotus 1-2-3 version 3. leaf ’Inventory” or ”B’, respectively) is located in toe Publications section of MCEER’s web site (http://mceer.buffelo.edu/pubs.html).
