Existing Buildings
19Seismic Considerations Series
Seismic Strengthening of Existing Buildings
Existing Buildings
• When are seismic evaluations required; and
• What triggers when seismic strengthening needs to occur.
20Seismic Considerations Series
Local Design Requirements
• Oregon Structural Specialty Code. • Chapter 34 Existing Structures• ASCE 41-06 “Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing
Buildings”
• Existing buildings within city limits fall under chapter 24.85 of Title 24 “Building Regulations, Seismic Design Requirements for Existing Buildings”
• ASCE 31-03 “Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings” • (ASCE 41-13 “Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of
Existing Buildings”)
Seismic Considerations Series 21
City of Portland Code Requirements (Title 24.85)
• Public Safety;
• Owners planning to modify their existing buildings; and
• Purchasers of a building need to understand the possible costs.
Seismic Considerations Series 22
Seismic Triggers
• Permitted Work Threshold• Seismic Evaluation
• Change of Use or Occupancy Classification • 1/3 or more of the floor area• 150 person occupant load
increase
Seismic Considerations Series 23
Required Seismic Evaluation
• Intended for the oldest and highest-risk buildings in Portland;
• For buildings permitted by the City prior to 1974 with renovations exceeding $243,000;
Seismic Considerations Series 24
Required Seismic Evaluation
• All trigger costs are updated annually;
• Certain costs are excluded from building renovation totals, including: MEP, Equipment, Painting, Fire Protection, Site improvements, and Eco-roofs.
Seismic Considerations Series 25
Seismic Upgrade Triggers
Seismic Strengthening
Seismic Considerations Series 26
Seismic Upgrade Triggers
• Change of Use or Occupancy that may require a higher hazard level.
• Additions or Modifications must be in compliance with current code.
• Special URM Building Requirements
Seismic Considerations Series 27
Seismic Strengthening
Seismic Considerations Series
• Seismic Upgrade Triggers1. OSSC Chapter 34 –Current Code Upgrade2. Title 24.85 Triggers –ASCE 31 (or ASCE 41 / OSSC)
• Voluntary Seismic Upgrade1. Identify standard basis
28
Required Seismic Upgrades
• URM buildings will require seismic upgrades for:• Roof repair or replacement of 50% or more over a 5 year
period; or• When cost of work, requiring a building permit, exceed
$41.63 per ft2 for buildings two or more stories and $55.50 per ft2 for single story buildings, in a two year period.
• Certain costs are excluded from URM building renovation totals, including: Site improvements, Eco-roofs and mandatory ADA and Elevator improvements.
Seismic Considerations Series 29
Seismic Strengthening Costs
• Varies greatly.• Usually combined with other architectural
improvements.• Cost Ranges:
o $15 to $50 / sfo Lower for simple URM roof upgradeo Higher for complex Code upgrade
Seismic Considerations Series 30
Code vs. ASCE 31
• ASCE 31 is 75% of Code• ASCE 31 allows for some non-Code compliant
materials
