Incremental Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has produced a series of documents aimed at specific building occupancies that details a means for incorporating seismic rehabilitation through discreet actions or steps. Termed, Incremental Seismic Rehabilitation, or ISR, this method helps building owners, risk managers, maintenance personnel and design professionals formulate a means to move toward greater seismic safety for buildings. A companion manual titled "Engineering Guideline for Incremental Seismic Rehabilitation, FEMA 420/Decemeber 2008" (as developed under Applied Technology Council project ATC-68) is intended as a technical resource for design professionals who are implementing incremental seismic rehabilitation on their projects or advocating its use. It explains the concept of incremental seismic rehabilitation as a strategy, discusses maintenance, capital improvement and decision-making processes, summarizes available engineering resource documents, and outlines the overall engineering process for incremental seismic rehabilitation of buildings. This paper will discuss the purpose of the FEMA 420 document; it's relationship to the entire FEMA ISR series; and the underlying presumptions. It will discuss the role of the engineer as a consultant on ISR projects and the rehabilitation process.
