Tutorial OverviewTutorial Overview
Assessment Stages: • Search & Rescue: focus on safety of buildings for
extraction of entombed victims and safety of rescuers
• Safety: focus on the safety of a building for continued occupancy, without regard to the extent of non-structural damage
•ATC-20•BORP
• Damage: focus on the determination of the nature, extent, and appropriate repair of earthquake damage
