BUILDING DESCRIPTION
General
The Zellerbach Playhouse is a performance space primarily utilized by UC Berkeley students. It is located
on the core UC Berkeley campus adjacent to the Spieker Plaza. The Playhouse is situated to the south of
the Alumni House, to the east of the Haas Pavilion and the Spieker Aquatics Complex, and to the west of
the Zellerbach Auditorium. Zellerbach Auditorium is assigned CAAN #1802. Zellerbach Playhouse is
assigned CAAN #1802.1. It is a reinforced concrete building that was constructed in 1968. The structure
contains four stories above grade and one story below grade and has a rectangular footprint measuring
181’-0” in the north-south direction by 92’-0” in the east-west direction.
The Zellerbach Playhouse is programmatically connected to the Zellerbach Auditorium; however, the two
buildings are structurally separated by a 1” wide expansion joint located on the east elevation of the
Playhouse. The below grade story and the area located to the south side of the main stage functions as a
paint shop, a wood shop, and storage space. The stage and seating area are located in the center of the
building. The stage (at Level 3) is located to the south of the seating areas, and the seating is comprised
of two sections. The orchestra seating contains tiered concrete risers, and the gallery seating is comprised
of two mezzanines (at Level 4) located on each side of the tiered seating. Additional mezzanines known
as the fly galleries (at Level 5) are located on each side of the stage. These serve as access corridors to the
gridiron above the stage and the catwalks above the seating. The gridiron contains the rigging required
for the curtains, lighting, and backdrops, while the catwalks contains equipment for lighting, projection,
and sound. The main entrance to the Playhouse is located on the north elevation at Level 3. The entry
lobby is at-grade and does not contain the basement story below which is typical in the remaining
footprint of the structure. This portion of the building contains a roof that slopes from the low roof
elevation down to Level 4.
Structural System
The Zellerbach Playhouse is physically separated from the Zellerbach Auditorium by a 1” expansion joint
that is oriented parallel to the longitudinal shear wall located on the east side of the structure. The gravity
load-carrying system is comprised of one-way reinforced concrete slabs that span to supporting elements.
The slabs are reinforced with #3, #4, and #5 bars spaced at 12” o.c. At the roof, the slab is 8” thick and
spans to 21 WF 55 and 18 WF 70 steel beams that are spaced at 8’-0” o.c. The steel framing is supported
by either a 92’-0” long roof truss or by load-bearing concrete shear walls. The typical floor slab is 6” thick,
and it spans to either concrete beams supported by shear walls or directly to load-bearing concrete shear
walls. The concrete beams range in depth from 24” to 50” and in width from 12” to 60”. They are
reinforced with #6, #8, and #11 longitudinal bars and contain open #3 and #4 shear stirrups spaced at 12”
and 16” o.c. The catwalk floor consists of an 18 gage unfilled metal deck over steel sub-framing and is
hung from the low roof. The bracing of the catwalk is unknown. The stage floor is framed with wood deck
over small steel beams.
The building contains three 20” diameter reinforced concrete columns which are located between Level
2 to Level 3 and are reinforced with 8-#8 longitudinal bars tied with 3/8” diameter spirals at a 2 ½” pitch.
One rectangular column measuring 12” x 18” and two columns measuring 12” x 16” are located between
Level 2 to Level 4 and are reinforced with 6-#6 and 4-#7 longitudinal bars respectively. They contain #3

CAAN ID: 1802.1 Date: 06/17/2019
Page 3
ties spaced at 12” o.c. Otherwise, the flat framing is typically supported by load-bearing concrete walls
oriented in the longitudinal direction. At select locations, columns measuring 24” x 30” are embedded
into the walls and are reinforced with 8-#9 longitudinal bars and #4 ties with #3 cross-ties spaced at 18”
o.c. Although girders are supported by the exterior walls, embedded columns are not provided in the walls
at all girder locations.
Reinforced concrete shear walls comprise the lateral force-resisting system in both directions. In the
transverse direction, 14” thick exterior walls are located on the north and south elevations. There are an
additional four lines of interior walls that vary in thickness from 8” to 24”. In the longitudinal direction,
12”, 14”, and 16” walls are located on the east and west elevation. The thicker walls are located in the
center of the building and support the high roof framing above the stage while the thinner walls are
located to the north and south of the stage and support the low roof framing. The typical shear wall
reinforcement ratios range from 0.0020 to 0.0028, and trim steel is located around wall openings. The
walls do not contain reinforcing details that are consistent with special concrete shear walls such as
confined boundary zones.
The floor diaphragms in the Zellerbach Playhouse are highly irregular. In the lobby and seating area
located in the northern half of the structure, the diaphragms are comprised of narrow mezzanines and
balconies as well as stepped slabs provided for tiered seating. The shear walls that support the roof are
typically discontinuous above the seating levels. In the southern half of the structure, no intermediate
floor diaphragms are located between the low roof and the stage floor at Level 3. These walls span 29-6”
from Level 3 to the low roof and serve as demising walls between the stage and the back-of-house
functions. Although, these walls comprise a large portion of the total shear wall area, they will resist shear
from the inertial forces at the roof levels, but may not resist the forces from the seating and mezzanine
floor levels.
The basement floor consists of 5” slab on grade over 5” hot-mopped waterproof membrane, 3” lean
concrete, 4” open graded rock, 4” filter material, and compacted soil. The foundation encompasses spread
footing for columns and strip footing for shear walls.

OVERALL SEISMIC DEFICIENCIES & EXPECTED SEISMIC PERFORMANCE
The Zellerbach Playhouse is a five-story structure that is connected to the Zellerbach Auditorium on its
east side. As a theater, it contains almost solid shear walls around its perimeter and closely spaced interior
walls. From the Tier 1 evaluation, the Zellerbach Playhouse has sufficient shear capacity to resist the
BSE2-E level forces, and the calculated wall stresses are relatively low. The maximum stress is 104 psi in
the longitudinal direction and 77 psi in the transverse direction. The Tier 1 Quick Check for wall stress is
an average stress check and does not consider torsion or the potential increase in wall forces due to local
load path through the diaphragm.
The majority of the building mass is located on the northern half of the structure where the seating
mezzanine and balconies are located. However, the shear walls in this location are typically discontinuous
above the seating. The walls which are continuous are located in the southern half of the structure;
however, these walls are not connected to intermediate floor diaphragms. As a result of this irregular
wall and diaphragm configuration, the structure likely contains a torsional irregularity. In addition, the
walls on the north side of the structure can resist load from all floor levels, while those on the south side
may only resist load from the roof. In the case of the Zellerbach Playhouse, the average stress Quick Check
is an over-simplification of the actual wall stresses as the loads in the walls are largely determined by their
connectivity to the floor diaphragms.

CAAN ID: 1802.1 Date: 06/17/2019
Page 7
The Zellerbach Playhouse contains a 1” separation gap at its interface with the adjacent Zellerbach
Auditorium. The provided separation gap is less than the 7 ¾” gap required by the Tier 1 Quick Check at a
drift ratio of 1.5%. The floor levels of the Playhouse and the Auditorium do align in elevation at Level 3
and Level 4, but not at Level 5. If pounding occurs, out-of-plane forces may be imposed on the walls of
the Auditorium near Level 5 and damage is likely to concentrate in this region.
There are two major walls oriented in the transverse direction that are discontinuous. These walls span
almost the entire width of the structure and are supported at each end by short wall piers. The wall piers
do not contain boundary zone reinforcing or even standard non-ductile column reinforcing. They are
reinforced as typical wall sections. It is unlikely that these elements were originally designed for vertical
loads induced by overturning of the discontinuous walls. The wall piers lack confinement of their
longitudinal reinforcing which will limit their axial capacity.
Seismic Performance Level Rating
A Seismic Performance Level rating of Level V is assigned to the Zellerbach Playhouse based on the Tier 1
evaluation, including review of the details and analytical results, because of the deficiencies identified
above, including highly irregular diaphragms and discontinuous walls, potentially inadequate seismic
separation between adjacent buildings, and the poor confinement in the wall piers located below the
discontinuous shear walls.
Recommended Next Step
It is recommended that an ASCE 41 Tier 3 linear analysis be completed for this structure to determine the
building drift, required seismic separation for the adjacent structures, and the adequacy of the gravity
columns to resist the expected displacements. A 3D model is required to assess the correct load
distribution based upon the relative wall stiffnesses and the diaphragm connectivity. The wall segments
below discontinuous shear walls can be checked for overturning forces from the walls above. Finally, the
load path through the discontinuous diaphragms can be examined.
Seismic Retrofit Concept Sketches/Description (only if above-listed rating is V or greater):
Retrofit concepts to address the deficiencies noted above include:
• Wrapping of columns with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) or steel jackets to improve their axial
capacity and to provide enhanced confinement. This can be completed at the wall piers located
below discontinuous shear walls.

BUILDING SYSTEMS - GENERAL
Description
C NC N/A U
LOAD PATH: The structure contains a complete, well-defined load path, including structural elements and connections, that
serves to transfer the inertial forces associated with the mass of all elements of the building to the foundation. (Commentary:
Sec. A.2.1.1. Tier 2: Sec. 5.4.1.1)
Comments:
C NC N/A U
ADJACENT BUILDINGS: The clear distance between the building being evaluated and any adjacent building is greater than
0.25% of the height of the shorter building in low seismicity, 0.5% in moderate seismicity, and 1.5% in high seismicity.
(Commentary: Sec. A.2.1.2. Tier 2: Sec. 5.4.1.2)
Comments: Zellerbach Playhouse contains a 1” expansion joint to separate it from the Zellerbach Auditorium
located to the east. Based upon a 43 ft height from the seismic base (Level 2) up to lower roof, the gap required
is 7 ¾”.
Both the Auditorium and playhouse are shear wall structures, and it is expected that the interstory drift ratio
would be lower than 1.5%. The floor elevations of the two structures align so pounding damage is expected to be limited.
C NC N/A U
MEZZANINES: Interior mezzanine levels are braced independently from the main structure or are anchored to the seismic-
force-resisting elements of the main structure. (Commentary: Sec. A.2.1.3. Tier 2: Sec. 5.4.1.3)
Comments: The mezzanines located on Level 4 and Level 5 are connected to shear walls on three sides.

less than 80% of the strength in the adjacent story above. (Commentary: Sec. A2.2.2. Tier 2: Sec. 5.4.2.1)
Comments: The horizontal shear wall area increases or remains virtually the same from the high roof
down to Level 2, except for the stories between Level 2 – Level 3, and Level 3 – Level 4 in the longitudinal direction; however, the shear wall areas for these two stories are approximately 90% of the area of the
adjacent story above.

of the three stories above. (Commentary: Sec. A.2.2.3. Tier 2: Sec. 5.4.2.2)
Comments: Excluding the uppermost story, heights between floors vary greatly, from 7’-10” to 13’-6”. The
tallest story is the one between Level 2 and Level 3; it has a shear wall area approximately equal to 90% of
the adjacent story above; nevertheless, this is a partially embedded story. The story between Level 3 and Level 4, which also has a shear wall area approximately equal to 90% of the adjacent story above, is also the
shortest. Thus, a soft story is not likely to occur.

VERTICAL IRREGULARITIES: All vertical elements in the seismic-force-resisting system are continuous to the foundation.
(Commentary: Sec. A.2.2.4. Tier 2: Sec. 5.4.2.3)

GEOMETRY: There are no changes in the net horizontal dimension of the seismic-force-resisting system of more than 30%
in a story relative to adjacent stories, excluding one-story penthouses and mezzanines. (Commentary: Sec. A.2.2.5. Tier 2:
Sec. 5.4.2.4)
Comments: The high roof is located above the stage and comprises approximately one-third of the building
length. It contains shear walls on its north and south elevations. The building enlarges below the high roof in the north and south direction. The shear walls at the lower stories step outwards to the exterior walls of the
enlarged footprint.
C NC N/A U
MASS: There is no change in effective mass of more than 50% from one story to the next. Light roofs, penthouses, and
mezzanines need not be considered. (Commentary: Sec. A.2.2.6. Tier 2: Sec. 5.4.2.5)
Comments: Maximum effective mass reduction occurs between low roof and high roof – reduction is
approximately 55%.
C NC N/A U
TORSION: The estimated distance between the story center of mass and the story center of rigidity is less than 20% of
the building width in either plan dimension. (Commentary: Sec. A.2.2.7. Tier 2: Sec. 5.4.2.6)
Comments: The building footprint is rectangular, and walls are located around the perimeter. However, no
floor levels are located over the stage, and the center of mass shifts towards the north due to the tiered seating, lobby, and mezzanines located in this region.

WALL ANCHORAGE AT FLEXIBLE DIAPHRAGMS: Exterior concrete or masonry walls that are dependent on flexible diaphragms for lateral support are anchored for out-of-plane forces at each diaphragm level with steel anchors, reinforcing dowels, or straps that are developed into the diaphragm. Connections have strength to resist the connection force calculated in the Quick Check procedure of Section 4.4.3.7. (Commentary: Sec. A.5.1.1. Tier 2: Sec. 5.7.1.1)
Comments: The building has rigid diaphragms.

DEFLECTION COMPATIBILITY: Secondary components have the shear capacity to develop the flexural strength of the components. (Commentary: Sec. A.3.1.6.2. Tier 2: Sec. 5.5.2.5.2)
Comments: The interior and exterior shear walls are gravity load bearing. There is a few number of gravity columns in Zellerbach playhouse, mainly between the Level 2 (substage area) and Level 3 (stage level). The development of flexural strength in typical gravity columns requires a demand similar to the shear capacity. However, shear-controlled columns have sufficient shear capacity to resist the shear forces induced at a conservative estimate for interstory drift of ½”.

FLAT SLABS: Flat slabs or plates not part of the seismic-force-resisting system have continuous bottom steel through the column joints. (Commentary: Sec. A.3.1.6.3. Tier 2: Sec. 5.5.2.5.3)
Comments: No flat slabs are located within the building.

Notes:
1 - Per general notes on sheet S1 in 1965 drawings, concrete compressive strength of 4,000 psi is defined for concrete Class V; steel yielding strength is 70 ksi for spiral reinforcing (ASTM A82), and 40 ksi for tie reinforcing (intermediate grade).
2 - Column dimensions are based on column schedule on Sheet S5.15 in 1965 Structural Drawings. For analysis, all the columns extend from Level 2 (substage area, EL. 23'-2") to the Level 3 (stage level, EL. 36'-8")
3 - For the rectangular column:
X-Dir of analysis represents the shear force acting in the longitudinal direction; the bending moment capacity is calculated about the weak axis.
Y-Dir of analysis represents the shear force acting in the transverse direction; the bending moment capacity is calculated about the strong axis.
4 - Effective depth, d, is computed as the distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid of tension reinforcement.
5 - Based on 0.9DL. Circular Ss-20 column is carrying self-weight of the 9-10" deep T-3.12 concrete beam.
6 - Shear capacity of column is based on ASCE 41-17 Eq 10-3 using nominal material strengths with φ =1.0.
acol = 1.0 for s/d <= 0.75, 0.0 for s/d >=1.0
7 - Plastic moment capacity of the column is based upon expected flexural strength using 1.5 f'c and 1.25 fy.
8 - Shear induced due to drift of a fixed-fixed column.
9- Vprob is compared to Vcol. If Vprob <Vcol, Shear failure is not likely to occur.
