Building Design

1. Apartment building with tuckunder parking (open front in the ground story) and flat roof

2. Three-story structure 3. Upper two stories have 2 units with doors and windows

on back wall and windows on front wall4. 1960’s structure designed according to UBC-645. Model dimensions: 32’ x 16’ x 27’

Rehabilitation

Reduce the risk of ground story collapse

• Design according to UBC-97• Vertical elements at open front: steel moment frames• Enhancement of ground story back wall with holdowns at

openings

System TestingQuasi-static:

1) First story with open front (initial stiffness)

2) First story with retrofitted front

Dynamic:

1) First story with closed front (vibration)

2) First two stories with closed front (vibration)

3) First two stories with open front (vibration)

4) Three story with steel moment frame at front

5) Three story with open front

6) Three story with open front and finish materials

7) Finished three story with steel moment frame at front

Component TestingTwo types of connections:

1) Vertical elements to header (SMF, OMF, shear wall)

2) Diaphragm to header (four conditions)

a) Existing b) Minimal c) Moderate d) Conservative

a) 2-10d TN (each side) b) Same as a) + A35 (every other block)c) Same as b) + 2-LS70 top d) same as b) + 8d @ 4’’
