Abstract

The California Earthquake Authority (CEA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through the Applied Technology Council's ATC-110 Project series, have sponsored development of a prestandard for seismic assessment and retrofit of cripple wall, house-overgarage, and hillside vulnerabilities in residential wood dwellings. Although simplified for the purposes of implementation, methodologies are being developed using best available numerical tools and performance objectives consistent with the philosophies of current seismic codes and standards. After almost three years of work, prestandard provisions and prescriptive plan sets for assessment and retrofit are nearing completion. This paper discusses the project methodology, illustrates retrofit approaches and interim numerical study results, and shares insights gained.
