This paper describes a case study of performance based seismic rehabilitation techniques used for a 1969 vintage concrete parking structure. A new 80,000ft2, two-story addition was planned for this existing 230,000ft2, six-story structure. The evaluation […]
Seismic Retrofit of a Hospital Building with Supplementary Damping Devices
Performance‐based earthquake engineering was utilized to ascertain the seismic performance of a group of hospital buildings located in the regions of high seismicity in Southern California. The structures were designed and constructed in early 1970’s per the applicable building codes at the time of construction. Seismic evaluation of the structures, […]
