Portfolio Risk Study: UBC
2017
Portfolio Risk study for the University of British Columbia. Automated the analysis of structural performance for the 328 buildings that make
up this diverse portfolio, enabling us to consider >100 ground motions for each
structure. The scale of this project was an opportunity to develop a novel
automation strategy covering all buildings, using both a scalable approach to
finite element modelling in LS-DYNA, and a data driven approach harnessing a
large set of analyses reflecting typical canadian construction types.

Excerpts from Analysis
Summary of the design base shear (strength) for the UBC portfolio, disaggregated by type.
Simulated EDPs (drift, acceleration, and residual drift) for a 6-floor concrete structure.
Summary of the simulated drift on a building-by-building basis, averaged across all ground motions considered at MCE.
