Audit work included examining government roles in mitigating the potential impacts of major earthquakes through, for example, the appropriate design and enforcement of building codes; studying the extent to which current and tested plans are in place to respond to an earthquake; and the capability to carry on providing essential services through proper continuation and recovery plans. A brief analysis is also made of the blizzard of 1996 to assess the performance of the province's emergency management system and to discuss the implications of this for earthquake preparedness. Recommendations for improvement of preparedness for a major earthquake and its aftermath are provided.

The devastating human and economic impacts resulting from these seismic events will require years, and in some cases, decades of recovery. In BC, the majority of the population resides in an earthquake hazard area. Annually, a few thousand earthquakes occur in and adjacent to BC. According to experts, an earthquake capable of causing structural damage can be expected to occur somewhere in the province about once every 10 years. These earthquakes are large enough to cause significant damage if they occur in a highly populated area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important, self-contained reference deals with structural life assessment (SLA) and structural health monitoring (SHM) in a combined form. SLA periodically evaluates the state and condition of a structural system and provides recommendations for possible maintenance actions or the end of structural service life. It is a diversified field and relies on the theories of fracture mechanics, fatigue damage process, and reliability theory. For common structures, their life assessment is not only governed by the theory of fracture mechanics and fatigue damage process, but by other factors such as corrosion, grounding, and sudden collision. On the other hand, SHM deals with the detection, prediction, and location of crack development online. Both SLA and SHM are combined in a unified and coherent treatment.
