SummaryWhen earthquake demand exceeds capacity, damage occurs.The ability to absorb this excess demand but not collapse is called ductility.Conventional construction is analogous to the Volvo automobile design. Damage occurs, but occupants are safe.Code buildings are not necessarily usable after an earthquake.Isolation by intent and design provides for post-earthquake functionality.

Only Life Safety RiskCurrent Building Codes Provide for Life-Safety Protection OnlyRecommendations primarily are intended to safeguard against major failures and loss of life, not to limit damage, maintain functions, or provide for easy repair. (Source: SEAOC Blue Book)A high-value, heavily occupied building is, in effect, designed to the same performance level as a low-value farm building if the basic [building] code is merely followed. (Source: EQE Summary Report on the Kobe Earthquake, p. 91.)
Property Damage RiskMajor value lies in the facilities, equipment and product, not the structureAgain, earthquakes pose greater vulnerability to nonstructural damage

Recommendation: When you build your next new facility, you should know that for a 2-3% increase in the cost of of the building you can significantly reduce your business risk.
Probabilities are Small, But Significant67% chance of a 7.0 (Mw) moment magnitude earthquake in the Bay Area during the next 30 years 30 year timeline provides a false sense of remoteness and securityProbability converts to a 3.6% chance every year of the earthquake happening during that year
