Example Case Studies of Soft-Story Retrofits Using the San Francisco Ordinance
San Francisco’s mandatory soft-story building retrofit program names three alternative design criteria for the retrofits: FEMA P-807, ASCE 41, and IEBC Appendix Chapter A4. This paper presents example case studies on the retrofit of two buildings using the three alternative design criteria according to the San Francisco ordinance (total six example retrofits). The objectives are to provide design professionals with insights about: how the P-807 performance-based guideline differs from more traditional methods such as ASCE 41 and IEBC A4, the different retrofit outcomes that result from using the alternative criteria, and which criteria can best serve client needs.
