520 |a"On the basis of previous earthquake damage, mainly in California and Alaska, an assessment is made of the effects on residential buildings in the Greater Vancouver Area during and after an earthquake. Two levels of earthquakes are considered: a) the "design level earthquake" of the National Building Code of Canada, 1985 Edition; b) a "major earthquake" corresponding to a slip of the tectonic plates along the west coast of British Columbia, also called a "major subduction earthquake". The design level earthquake is characterized by a peak ground acceleration of 0.20 times the gravitational acceleration (g). The location, magnitude, recurrence interval, and the resulting ground motions of the subduction earthquake are somewhat uncertain. For such an earthquake a peak ground motion acceleration amplitude of 0.50 g in the Vancouver area has been assumed"--Executive summary, p. 3.
