Description

Erik Anderson, Nicholas Carino, & Geraldine Cheok. Evaluates the performance of multifamily high rise buildings during the earthquake & identifies the nature & extent of damage they suffered. The report was based on filed surveys & data analysis for an extensive sample of HUD-assisted rental properties in the area affected by the earthquake. All building cods are based on “best guesses”about the way structures will perform. By promptly assessing the incidence of earthquake-related failure among specific types of housing, this report will help update residential building codes for earthquake areas & contribute to the development of standards for retrofitting the existing housing stock.
