2012 BCBC Requirements for

Seismic Design of Houses

The 2012 B.C. Building Code, which comes into effect on December 20, 2012, will introduce new requirements for “Seismic Design of Houses”. Any applications made on or after December 20, 2012 will be required to comply with the new requirements. A guide to these requirements has been prepared through a partnership between the Building and Safety Standards Branch, the Homeowner Protection Office, Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC, FPInnovations and other agencies. A copy of the Guide is available at http://www.hpo.bc.ca/seismic-design-guide/ Seismic Design Guide Illustrated Guide for Seismic Design of Houses [1]

Lateral Bracing Requirements Part 9 BC Building Code 2012 These new requirements are meant to help bring a higher level of safety in the event of an earthquake or other significant seismic activity. Home designers will need to consider these requirements when creating the form of exterior walls as well as the dimensions and locations of interior walls. Builders will now have to understand the materials required and construction techniques needed to build braced wall panels at specified points throughout the home.

Available online, this free 28 page resource Guide:

• Explains new lateral bracing requirements • Uses a helpful step-by-step process • Features full colour, 3-D illustrated graphics • Provides a flow chart and helpful checklist of design requirements • Addresses exceptions and trade offs for greater design flexibility and construction

In order that your permit applications are not delayed, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the new requirements. Check with HPO for upcoming training seminars.
