Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary of the evolution of seismic design in Canada. This paper presents the significant changes to the approach taken in determining seismic hazards and seismic hazard maps, and describes the evolution of the seismic design provisions of the National building code of Canada. The introduction of important parameters in determining the seismic base shear such as the period of vibration of the structure, the influence of type of soil, and the concepts of ductility and energy dissipation capacity of elements and structures are presented. The levels of seismic design base shears, determined from different versions of the National Building Code of Canada, are compared for reinforced concrete frame and wall structures to illustrate the changes.
