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.
