由ASCE结构工程研究所赞助，现有建筑抗震评估和改造描述了基于缺陷的系统程序，使用基于性能的原则评估和改造现有建筑，以抵抗地震的影响。这一新一代标准结合了评估和改造过程，并根据一系列建筑性能水平（从防倒塌到运行）提出了三级抗震评估过程，将目标结构性能与非结构构件的性能结合起来。缺陷- 根据以往的地震观测结果，评估和改造工作可以将重点放在特定的潜在缺陷上，这些缺陷与允许的建筑类型和高度有关。适用于任何建筑的系统程序规定了严格评估整个建筑的方法。建立了分析程序和验收标准，并对基础和地质现场危害提出了要求；由钢、混凝土、砖石、木材和冷弯型钢制成的部件；建筑机械和电气部件及系统； 以及隔震和消能系统。此外，还提供了各种建筑类型和地震活动级别的筛选清单，以支持一级流程。本标准更新并取代了先前的ASCE/SEI 41-06标准《既有建筑物的抗震修复》以及ASCE/SEI 31-03标准《既有建筑物的抗震评估》。标准ASCE/SEI 41-13服务于对改善现有建筑抗震性能感兴趣的结构工程师、设计专业人士、规范官员和建筑业主。

Sponsored by the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCESeismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings describes deficiency-based and systematic procedures that use performance-based principles to evaluate and retrofit existing buildings to withstand the effects of earthquakes. This next-generation standard combines the evaluation and retrofit process and puts forth a three-tiered process for seismic evaluation according to a range of building performance levels - from collapse prevention to operational - that marry targeted structural performance with the performance of nonstructural elements. The deficiency-based procedures allow the evaluation and retrofit effort to focus on specific potential deficiencies deemed, on the basis of past earthquake observations, to be of concern for a permissible set of building types and heights. The systematic procedure, applicable to any building, sets forth a methodology to evaluate the entire building in a rigorous manner.Analysis procedures and acceptance criteria are established and requirements put forth for foundations and geologic site hazards; components made of steel, concrete, masonry, wood, and cold-formed steel; architectural mechanical and electrical components and systems; and seismic isolation and energy dissipation systems. In addition, screening checklists are provided for a variety of building types and seismicity levels in support of the Tier 1 process.This standard updates and replaces the previous Standard ASCE/SEI 41-06, Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings, as well as Standard ASCE/SEI 31-03, Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings.Standard ASCE/SEI 41-13 serves structural engineers, design professionals, code officials, and building owners interested in improving the seismic performance of existing buildings.
