Performance-Based Design: Supplementary Damping for Retrofit of a Tall Steel Moment Frame Building


Abstract eng:
An evaluation and upgrade of building seismic resistance was triggered by proposed new use as a school. The building existing framing was designed and constructed in the 1980’s based on building code provisions that did not reflect improved, current practices for steel frame seismic systems. The role of the Peer Reviewer and the sharing of education and experience in this seismic strengthening project is explained. This paper illustrates selected key inputs and decisions made by the design and peer review team in the evaluation and strengthening of an existing four-story steel moment frame building located in southern California. While the building department defined scope was the evaluation and strengthening be performed to implement the intent of ASCE 41-13, the project benefitted from viewing the design using ATC-63/FEMA P695 contributions to performance based design.
