The authors gratefully acknowledge support from the EERI Endowment Fund and the Special Projects & Initiatives Committee. We also thank Joan MacQuarrie, former Building Official of the City of Berkeley, for making the evaluation reports available for our review. The Applied Technology Council made available a draft version of the FEMA P-807 technical criteria applied in Section 5, and Mike Korolyk of Tipping Mar Associates, Berkeley, helpfully reviewed some initial calculations. The Structural Engineers Association of Northern California’s Existing Buildings Committee, Marko Schotanus, Chair, provided valuable feedback on preliminary findings.
