The seismic hazard map layer indicates the relative seismic hazard across Canada. Expected ground motion can be calculated on the basis of probability, and the expected ground motions are referred to as seismic hazard. The damage potential of an earthquake is determined by how the ground moves and how the buildings within the affected region are constructed. This map shows the relative seismic hazard across Canada for single family dwellings (1-2 story structures). The map below provides an idea of the likelihood of experiencing strong earthquake shaking at various locations across the country.
This probability is used in the National Building Code to help design and construct buildings that are as earthquake proof as possible. other applicable legislation, including conservation authority approvals and certain requirements under the Environmental Protection Act.Simplified seismic hazard map for Canada, the provinces and territoriesĪlthough earthquakes occur in all regions of Canada, certain areas have a higher probability of experiencing damaging ground motions caused by earthquakes.the local zoning by-law and other planning controls on buildings and.the Ontario Building Code, which sets standards for the design and construction of buildings to meet objectives such as health, safety, fire protection, accessibility, and resource conservation.By reviewing and approving building plans before any work is done, and by carrying out inspections while construction is underway, building staff can ensure that buildings comply with: carrying out inspections to ensure compliance with the Ontario Building Code andīuilding permits are required to protect the interests of both individuals and the community as a whole.issuing permits for fence enclosures for swimming pools.issuing permits for the installation, alteration, extension, or repair of on-site sewage systems.issuing permits for the construction, renovation, demolition, and certain change of use of buildings and structures.Building Division staff offer a range of services to builders and individuals that wish to build and/or renovate in the Town of LaSalle, including:
