The
CEA-EDA-01 report,
Earthquake
Damage Assessment and Repair Guidelines for Residential Wood-Frame Buildings,
Volume 1 – General Guidelines,
was funded by the California Earthquake Authority. (Published
2020, 326 pages)
The Earthquake
Damage Assessment and Repair Guidelines for Residential Wood-Frame Buildings
describe the process of
identifying, evaluating, and repairing common earthquake damage in typical
residential wood-frame houses and are intended to increase the efficiency, consistency,
and reliability of the earthquake damage assessment and repair process. The documents are an integrated two-volume
series that cover common earthquake damage, including cosmetic and structurally
significant damage, as well as earthquake-induced permanent ground deformation.
Volume 1 (CEA-EDA-01) is intended to be used by insurance claim
representatives, building contractors, homeowners, and others familiar with
construction and repair. Volume 2 (CEA-EDA-02) is intended to be used by
structural and geotechnical engineers, and others with relevant technical
experience. The
Guidelines help users create a conceptual scope of
repair for a wood-frame house damaged by an earthquake.
The
documents build and expand upon previous work conducted through the Consortium
of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering (CUREE), which led to
the publication of two documents for the assessment and repair of
earthquake-damaged residential wood-frame buildings. These documents, commonly
referred to as the
CUREE Guidelines, have now been superseded by the two-volume
series,
Earthquake Damage Assessment and Repair Guidelines for Residential Wood-Frame
Buildings.
