ATC-50, Seismic Grading and Retrofitting Project for Detached Single-Family Wood-frame Dwellings
Prompted by high economic losses from the 1994 Northridge, California, earthquake, the City of Los Angeles has initiated a program to develop, test, and implement standardized procedures for the seismic evaluation and retrofit of single-family wood-frame dwellings (ATC-50 project). The primary products of the project include: (1) a seismic evaluation and grading system; (2) a seismic grading form; and (3) seismic rehabilitation guidelines. The procedures are being tested in a pilot program involving evaluation and grading of approximately 500 detached single-family wood-frame dwellings in the Los Angeles area, and rehabilitation (or retrofit) of approximately 50 dwellings with inadequate earthquake resistance. The ATC-50 project was conceived with input from the banking and insurance industries, is being performed by the Applied Technology Council for the City of Los Angeles, and is being funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency through a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program award from the California Office of Emergency Services.
