Abstract
The preliminary 6th Generation seismic hazard model of Canada (CanadaSHM6-trial) provides the basis for design values proposed for the 2020 edition of the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC2020). Seismic hazard values at a probability level of 2% in 50 years for 679 Canadian localities are provided in an accompanying spreadsheet to supplement the public review of the seismic hazard portion of NBCC2020 scheduled from January to March 2020. The spreadsheet tool provides the ability to select a Canadian locality and visualize seismic hazard values for any value of VS30 (140 - 3000 m/s) and Site Class (E-A). In this document we provide detailed instructions on the use of this spreadsheet. This work will be superseded by a forthcoming Open File, once NBCC2020 is finalized to reflect the final seismic hazard values calculated using CanadaSHM6.
