When the State of
California passed the Soft Story / Seismic
Retrofit Bill (AB 304), Woodlake Association hired us to evaluate the
seismic
safety of their 4 and 5 story dwelling over garage buildings.
We analyzed the risk of collapse & damage
for maximum credible earthquake levels from neighboring faults,
designed a
seismic retrofit to prevent this damage, prepared a cost estimate for
this
retrofit, and compared the risk and cost.
