• Designed in 1912 by R.K.A Kletting.
• 4 Stories with partial basement / crawl space and dome.
• Approximately 400’ x 215’ in plan.
• Basic structural system is reinforced concrete frame.
• Steel trusses for dome and skylights, otherwise sparse use of
structural steel.
Building Characteristics
![Page 3: Utah State Capitol Building Restoration and Seismic Base ... · Primary Findings of Early Studies • Structural frame is inadequate with respect to the expected seismic motion. •](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022041119/5f31bacd6418e645b5572159/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Nonstructural Features
• Stacked Granite Columns on South, East and West Sides.
• Exterior carved/stacked granite cladding.
• Skylights and atrium.
• Pediments and parapets.
• Rotunda and dome.
• Interior tile, marble, other unusually heavy components.
• Unusually heavy overall structural massing. The building is roughly 2 times the weight of a modern office building of comparable space

Primary Findings of Early Studies
• Structural frame is inadequate with respect to the expected seismic motion.
• Inadequate reinforcement in walls, columns and beams to provide ductile
performance.
• Large diaphragm openings in levels 3, 4, attic, roof.
• Non-continuous infills comprised of HCT and URM.
• Exterior cladding backed by URM.
• Lack of bracing for parapets, pediments, and balustrades.
• Window penetrations of dome create ‘soft’ story.
• Dome seismic forces are amplified due to its height.
• Lack of uniform lateral stiffness. Rotunda is stiff, wings are flexible.
• Inadequate anchorage of cladding.

The Need for Seismic Retrofit:
•Primary structure is reinforced concrete beams and columns. Although
innovative in its day, the concrete is lightly reinforced by today’s
standards. Concepts of seismic design did not exist 90 years ago.
•The building is within a very short distance of the active Wasatch Fault.
•Expected seismic performance (pre-retrofit) was extremely poor.
Significant earthquake would likely have meant loss of life and loss of the
building.

Owner Performance Expectations:
Life Safety (FEMA 356 Basic Safety Objective)
Historic Preservation
Results of Studies:
The expected seismic performance was
extremely poor with a high likelihood for loss of
life and property.

Potential Retrofit Schemes
• Increase the strength, stiffness and ductility of the
existing building.
• Reduce the seismic demand with a base isolation
system.
• Use a combination of these approaches.

This approach was deemed not feasible:
•Overall forces would have increased.
•New shear walls would not have fit within the
architectural/historic layout.
•Far more rigorous treatment of all nonstructural elements
and components would have been required.
•Historic character of building would have been
compromised

The Solution
Seismic Base Isolation was selected as the
preferred solution since most readily met
performance objectives while being sensitive to
historic preservation and costs.

Base Isolation Fundamental Concept
•A base isolator is a bearing mechanism upon which a building rests.
It is very stiff vertically but very limber horizontally.
•A group of base isolators tied together beneath a building creates a
seismic base isolation system.
•Because a base isolation system is very limber horizontally it can
dramatically increase the fundamental period of the global system
(base isolation system and building structure).
•An increase in period generally results in a decrease of earthquake
forces.

•Elastomeric with Lead Core
•Friction Pendulum

• Note– Each isolator weighs approximately 5000 pounds.

How does Base Isolation benefit the Utah State Capitol?
• Horizontal Seismic Accelerations are reduced by approximately 75% to 80% for a large earthquake.
• Preservation of Life.
• Preservation of Utah Heritage.
