Punch Card table of the Seismic Ratings and Collapse Probabilities of California Hospitals.
Column Explanations (paraphrased from here):
NPC Rating - Nonstructural Performance Category
A small punch (low rating) means that safe and orderly evacuation following a strong
earthquake cannot be assumed. A big punch (high rating) means that the facility can continue
to operate for 72 hours without any power, water, or sewer after a strong ground motion.
SPC Rating - Structural Performance Category
A small punch (low rating) means that the hospital poses a significant risk of collapse
following a strong earthquake. A big punch (high rating) means that the hospital will be
reasonably capable of providing services to the public following a strong earthquake.
Ratings not verified by the Office of Statewide Health, Planning, and Development (OSHPD) are included.
Multi-Hazard Loss Estimation Technology
-2007 Hazus Score (%):
A small punch (low percentage) means the hospital has a low probability of collapsing when
ground motions of a given design acceleration occur at the building site.
A big punch (high percentage) means that the probability is high.
-2010 Hazus Score (%): Additional building parameters are used to determine the collapse probability. A small punch is a low probability and a big punch is a high probability. Buildings located directly on faults are assigned probability of -50%. (I did not include these buildings in my calculations).
Data for each building in each Hospital were included in the csv. Hospital building averages are used in this table.
