TheCEA-EDA-02 report, EarthquakeDamage Assessment and Repair Guidelines for Residential Wood-Frame Buildings, Volume 2 – EngineeringGuidelines, was funded by the California Earthquake Authority. (Published2020, 342 pages)

The EarthquakeDamage Assessment and Repair Guidelines for Residential Wood-Frame Buildings describe the process ofidentifying, evaluating, and repairing common earthquake damage in typicalresidential 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-volumeseries that cover common earthquake damage, including cosmetic and structurallysignificant damage, as well as earthquake-induced permanent ground deformation.

Volume 1(CEA-EDA-01) is intended to be used by insurance claimrepresentatives, building contractors, homeowners, and others familiar withconstruction and repair. Volume 2 (CEA-EDA-02) is intended to be used bystructural and geotechnical engineers, and others with relevant technicalexperience. The Guidelines help users create a conceptual scope ofrepair for a wood-frame house damaged by an earthquake.

Thedocuments build and expand upon previous work conducted through the Consortiumof Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering (CUREE), which led tothe publication of two documents for the assessment and repair ofearthquake-damaged residential wood-frame buildings. These documents, commonlyreferred to as the CUREE Guidelines, have now been superseded by the two-volumeseries, Earthquake Damage Assessment and Repair Guidelines for Residential Wood-FrameBuildings.

CEAdocuments are available online free of charge. The above cost is the cost ofprinting and handling for a printed version of the document. A free electroniccopy of CEA-EDA-01 can be obtained here. Printed versions of CEA-EDA-01 can beordered here.
