Proceedings of FEMA-Sponsored Workshop on Communicating Seismic Performance Metrics in Design Decision-Making

The ATC-58-4 report, Proceedings of FEMA-Sponsored Workshop on Communicating Seismic Performance Metrics in Design Decision-Making, was funded by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). (Published 2014, 73 pages)

ABSTRACT: This report provides the proceedings of a workshop conducted on September 11, 2013 in San Francisco, California under the ATC-58-2 project. The purpose of the workshop was to understand the decision-making needs of various stakeholder groups, and to better understand how FEMA P-58 seismic performance information might factor into current decision-making processes. The FEMA P-58 methodology was developed under the FEMA-funded ATC-58/58-1 projects and completed in 2012. The FEMA P-58 suite of products provide a general methodology, recommended procedures, and new metrics for assessing and communicating the probable seismic performance of individual buildings based on their unique site, structural, nonstructural, and occupancy characteristics
