730 Stanyan has won the Mid-Rise Structures category in the 2024 Concrete Construction Awards from American Concrete Institute's Northern California and Western Nevada Chapter! Congratulations to the team: Webcor, Cemex U.S., Cahill Contractors, Y.A. studio, OMA, Chinatown Community Development Center, TNDC, and San Francisco Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development. Our project partner, Webcor Concrete, submitted the 730 Stanyan Affordable Housing project. Webcor focused on the use of high cement replacement mixes (50-70% SCM) and a fast-paced schedule, which are often seen as incompatible. This 9-story, 160-unit, affordable housing development serves low-to-moderate-income families and those who have experienced being unhoused. The project includes a mat foundation and 8 levels of post-tensioned slabs and shear walls. Sustainability was a key priority. The high percentage ash/slag concrete mix reduced CO2 emissions from Portland cement production and cut global warming potential by 50% compared to the regional baseline.

We are pleased to share this article by Justin Moresco and David Mar, highlighting the recently published (January) FEMA P-807-1 report. The report is a comprehensive study of retrofits of soft-story wood-framed multi-unit housing. It offers practicable guidance to cost-effectively improve the seismic safety of these structures.
Older, multi-unit wood-frame buildings with brittle, weak, and torsionally irregular stories have collapsed in past earthquakes. Often designated as soft, weak, or open-front (SWOF) buildings, many were constructed in the 1950s through 1970s and can be found across the United States, most notably along the West Coast. FEMA P-807 and the newer FEMA P-807-1 provide essential guidelines for retrofitting these vulnerable structures, emphasizing the need for full first-story retrofits to prevent collapse during seismic events.

Join us next Tuesday, 4/30: David Mar will be presenting the work of the BSSC’s Provisional Update Committee, Issue Team 13, in an upcoming NHERI DesignSafe webinar on April 30, 2024, 10:00 am PST. Issue Team 13 explores ways to Nurture Design Creativity and Innovation to facilitate the design of novel seismic systems, while still ensuring safety. The initiative's goal is to create a behavioral-based design method. It is intended to be more direct and inciteful than the current rules-based prescriptive code process.

Are you going to the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute Annual Conference in Seattle next week, April 9-12? As part of the @Applied Technology Council special session on What are We Doing About Building Collapse, David Mar will be speaking on the Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Multi-Unit Wood-Frame Buildings with Weak First Stories. This material was recently published in the FEMA P-807-1 report. The report aims to enhance understanding of collapsed older, multi-unit wood-frame buildings with brittle, weak, and torsionally irregular stories in past earthquakes. It also encourages improved retrofit design practices to address collapse potential. It's not too late to register. Registration closes April 9.
Don't miss EERI's 2024 Annual Meeting in Seattle this April! Check out the 2024AM website for details of the event https://lnkd.in/gCXTFTBF.
