Seismic Upgrade Strategy
FORELL/ELSESSER ENGINEERS, INC.
Seismic Criteria for Different Upgrade Alternatives
ALTERNATIVE A: No Upgrade
Potential loss of life Damage extensive and not-repairable
ALTERNATIVE B: Shear Walls
Life safety Extensive structural damage Loss of use of building for an extended time Limited disruption Moderate but repairable structural damage Moderate to extensive damage to non-structural elements Limited repair time Post-earthquake occupancy within 6 to 36 months Continuous function Substantial continued function after a major earthquake Nominal, repairable damage Post-earthquake occupancy within 2 days to 2 weeks

ALTERNATIVE C: Shear Walls
ALTERNATIVE D: Base Isolation
ALTERNATIVE A: No Upgrade

Comparison of Shear Wall and Base Isolation Upgrade Concepts
Base Isolation
Structural Work Largely Limited to the Basement Historic Elements Largely Untouched Higher Construction Cost Minor or No Structural Damage in a Major Earthquake
Concrete Shear Wall
Major Structural Construction in all Areas of the Building Historic Elements Affected in all Areas of the Building Average Construction Cost Moderate Structural Damage in a Major Earthquake
FORELL/ELSESSER ENGINEERS, INC.
Comparison of Shear Wall and Base Isolation Upgrade Concepts
Base Isolation
Minimal Post-Earthquake Repair Costs Minor Non-Structural Damage in a Major Earthquake Continued Operation After a Major Earthquake Requires New Basement Structure on the East Side Requires Construction of Moat Around Building
FORELL/ELSESSER ENGINEERS, INC.
Concrete Shear Wall
Moderate to High Repair Costs Moderate to Major Non-Structural Damage in a Major Earthquake Loss of Use and Significant Repairs After a Major Earthquake
