Project Story

  • Seismic Evaluations using Basic and Enhanced Performance Objectives of the ASCE 41
  • Other standards used for evaluations included:
    • International Building Code (IBC)
    • Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-310-04, Seismic Design of Buildings
    • American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE/SEI) 41 guidelines
  • Construction types included concrete masonry units (CMU), cast-in-place concrete, concrete tilt, and steel-braced frame
Over 490,000 square feet of Oregon Military Department facilities were seismically evaluated using basic and enhanced performance levels of the ASCE 41 guidelines. 
 
The assessments consisted of two paths of evaluation per facility: to meet baseline seismic requirements and to achieve enhanced seismic performance. For each structure MCE performed analysis, narratives, and reports for structural upgrades with detailed preliminary estimates of probable construction costs.
