About this file

The document is a Seismic Form B Certificate of Seismic Compliance for an existing building, designed to evaluate the building's seismic safety performance. The form requires an engineer to document key building characteristics such as ASCE Building Type, number of stories, approximate area, building design code, year of design code, and year of construction. The engineer must evaluate the building at the Life Safety Performance Level using ASCE/SEI 31 methodology, which can include Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, or other evaluation methods. The certificate requires the engineer to determine whether the building meets the Life Safety Performance Level of ICSSC RP 8, with documentation of the evaluation to be attached, including ASCE/SEI 31 checklists covering structural, nonstructural, and geologic site hazards and foundation assessments.
