NPC Requirements Revisited
§ 129680 (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that hospital buildings that house patients who have less than the capacity of normally healthy persons to protect themselves, and that must be reasonably capable of providing services to the public after a disaster, shall be designed and constructed to resist, insofar as practical, the forces generated by earthquakes, gravity, and winds. In order to accomplish this purpose, the office shall propose proper building standards for earthquake resistance based upon current knowledge, and provide an independent review of the design and construction of hospital buildings.
12
NPC Requirements Revisited§ 130005(a) The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, hereinafter called the office, shall develop definitions of earthquake performance categories for earthquake ground motions for both new and existing hospitals that are:(1) Reasonably capable of providing services to the public after a disaster, designed and constructed to resist, insofar as practical, the forces generated by earthquakes, gravity, and winds, and in full compliance with the regulations and standards developed by the office pursuant to the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act.(2) In substantial compliance with the pre-1973 California Building Standards Codes, but not in substantial compliance with the regulations and standards developed by the office pursuant to the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act. These buildings may not be repairable or functional but will not significantly jeopardize life.(3) Potentially at significant risk of collapse and that represent a danger to the public.
13
NPC Requirements Revisited
(b) The office may define other earthquake performance categories as it deems necessary to meet the intent of this article and the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act.(c) Earthquake performance categories shall also include sub gradations for risk to life, structural soundness, building contents, and nonstructural systems that are critical to providing basic services to hospital inpatients and the public after a disaster.
(f) The office, in consultation with the Hospital Building Safety Board, shall develop regulations to identify the most critical nonstructural systems and to prioritize the timeframes for upgrading those systems that represent the greatest risk of failure during an earthquake.

Northridge EQ Hospital Water Damage Study
• The objective of the study was to document the failures in fire sprinkler, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) and domestic water systems, segregate the failures by date (i.e., Pre & Post 1973), identify deficiencies and recommend corrective measures.
18
Northridge EQ Hospital Water Damage Study
Executive Summary. . . • The most significant finding of this study was not the
movement of roof mounted water tanks that sheared pipe connections, but the extensive failures in heating hot water line connections to unbraced duct mounted zone reheat coils (or terminal units), and the significant damage to the fire sprinkler systems caused by differential movements (with respect to other building components) which caused failures in screwed fittings and heads.
20
Northridge EQ Hospital Water Damage Study
Failure Summary
. . . there were numerous failures in the Post-73 buildings. The failures caused by the movement of roof mounted water tanks were to be expected in the Pre-73 buildings, but they were not expected in the Post-73 buildings. • The new findings are (1) significant damage to Fire
Sprinkler systems, (2) Heating Hot Water pipe connections to HVAC system zone reheat coils and (3), pipe failures due to movement of tanks in the Post-73 buildings.
21
Northridge EQ Hospital Water Damage Study
Piping Systems: • Where damage occurred in piping systems; it was caused by
excessive pipe movements and differential deflections between the piping and the connected equipment.
• The failures always occurred at fittings. – In general, fittings in welded steel pipe and soldered or
brazed copper lines survived the earthquake without damage.
– Screwed fittings, however, were the source of several failures as threads failed under repeated deflections.
– A few caulked joints in cast iron soil lines pulled apart, and some nonmetallic di-electric couplings separating dissimilar metals failed.
• No failures were discovered in mechanical joint pipe connections.
23
Northridge EQ Hospital Water Damage Study
Fire Sprinkler System: • The fire sprinkler system sustained less damage than
other piping systems in the buildings. – Typical failures were broken C-type clamps,
sheared or loosened lag bolts, fractured cast iron fittings, and a few pipe failures.
– Components failed when differential movements occurred at hard ceilings and walls, where heads struck other building components, and where lines crossed seismic separations.
• Bracing failures (specifically one sided c-clamps used for gravity hangers) contributed to the pipe movement and failures at screwed joints.
• Penetrations through rated corridor or non-rated hard ceilings with inadequate space for movement around the branch pipe, caused significant damage to threaded pipe joints.
• In some buildings, sprinkler heads were damaged or activated when they pounded against adjacent objects and ceiling elements.
24
Northridge EQ Hospital Water Damage Study
Tanks• The movement of
water tanks due to shearing of anchors, shifting or rocking in (or with their) saddles, saddle failures and spalling of concrete saddles, caused failures at pipe connections. Cedar Sinai Medical Center: Rooftop
tank on the Professional Tower displaced, breaking piping connection and flooding 8th floor
25
Northridge EQ Hospital Water Damage Study
Heating Hot Water and Chilled Water Coils
• Small HHW coils in terminal units or branch ducts were not braced, and their movement caused hundreds of failures at the small (5/8") pipe connections at the coil nipples.
• Differential movement of large (4" to 8") CHW or HW lines with drops from overhead mains to large floor mounted coils, caused failures within the manufactured coil. Failures occurred at the header stub connections to the small diameter coil pipes.

HSSA § 130005
NPC 4D Framework
• Delete regulations in Chapter 6, Part 1 that are no longer valid, such as extensions to 2008 to 2013 and beyond that are past. Make Chapter 6 current with on-going extensions, new extensions, etc.
• Revisit SB 499 NPC 3/3R “exemptions” and “extensions”
• Modify NPC 3/3R to delete specified anchorage/bracing, such as cabinets, shelving, etc. not in the patient vicinity or exit wayo Review Table 16A-O for what to keep and what to
exclude
56
NPC 4D Framework
• Should NPC 3R be allowed to continue beyond 2030 or should they comply with NPC 3?o Evaluate load patho Exception for suspended ceilings in rooms less than 300
sq. ft. with exceptions for certain rooms
• Modify NPC 4 to delete specified anchorage/bracing, such as cabinets, shelving, etc. not in the patient vicinity or exit wayo Review Table 16A-O for what to keep and what to
