Geological Survey (USGS), contains revised placards and safety assessment forms, based on ATC-20 use following the 1989 Loma Prieta, 1992 Cape Mendocino, 1992 Landers, 1992 Big Bear, and 1994 Northridge earthquakes (Published 1995, 94 pages).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(192, 80, 77);\"\u003eAvailable in hard copy format only and NOT available in electronic format.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eDownloadable Placards and Evaluation Forms can be found \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.atcouncil.org\/placards-and-evaluation-forms\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eATC-20 ABSTRACT: Introduced two weeks prior to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the ATC-20 report provides procedures and guidelines for making on-the-spot evaluations and decisions regarding continued use and occupancy of earthquake damaged buildings. Written specifically for volunteer structural engineers and building inspectors, the report has become the de-facto national standard for safety evaluation of earthquake-damaged buildings. The report includes rapid and detailed evaluation procedures for inspecting buildings and posting them as INSPECTED (apparently safe, green placard), LIMITED ENTRY (yellow placard) or UNSAFE (red placard). Also included are special procedures for evaluation of essential buildings (e.g., hospitals), evaluation procedures for nonstructural elements and geo-technical hazards, and guidance on human behavior following earthquakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/4224\/4564\/files\/ATC-20-toc.pdf?v=1783550295\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to view the Title Page, Preface, and Contents.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eATC-20-2 ABSTRACT: The ATC-20-2 \u003cem\u003eAddendum \u003c\/em\u003ereport provides updated assessment forms, placards, and procedures that are based on an in-depth reClick \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/4224\/4564\/files\/ATC-20-toc.pdf?v=1783550295\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to view the Title Page, Preface, and Contents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eATC recommends that users of the ATC-20 procedures purchase the ATC-20 set, rather than referring only to the ATC-20 report, so that they have access to all available information about the procedures, including the revised placards and revised evaluation forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14.4444446563721px\"\u003e20% Discount on Orders of 5 or More!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Applied Technology Council","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48162042347732,"sku":"ATC-20 Set","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/4224\/4564\/files\/ATC-20and-20-2.jpg?v=1782184301","url":"https:\/\/store.atcouncil.org\/products\/procedures-for-postearthquake-safety-evaluation-of-buildings-addendum","provider":"The ATC Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
