| CLIENT The Fillmore Center STRUCTURE The subject buildings are six- to nineteen-story structures with reinforced concrete bearing walls that were built using tunnel-form technology. |
SOLUTION WJE performed a seismic analysis of each structure to predict the extent of damage that might occur during a postulated earthquake. To make this effort as productive as possible, we took advantage of the fact that the structures had sustained some damage during a prior earthquake. Ground motion and damage data from the previous event were used to refine our computer models. WJE engineers worked with a construction cost estimator to provide damage repair and replacement cost estimates for the predicted extent of damage. We also developed retrofit concepts for improving the earthquake resistance of the facility. |
