Multifamily Affordable Housing Energy Retrofit Strategy for Richmond, CA
… upgrades, which combined can be called energy retrofits, can reduce energy burden, provide health improvements through improved indoor air quality and increased comfort in the home, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This study explores how the City of Richmond, CA can incentivize …

Capitalizing on a third wave of federal investment : reenvisioning an energy efficiency retrofit strategy for Oakland, California
… form, Oakland's Weatherization and Energy Retrofit Loan Program relies upon a weak finance structure, provides no guarantees for disadvantaged workers, and fails to consider how the age of the city's building stock, income distribution, and racial spread influence where the City should …

Seismic Rehabilitation of Steel Concentrically Braced Frames Vulnerable to Soft-Story Failure Through Implementation of Rocking Cores
… on development and validation of a seismic retrofit strategy for low-rise and mid-rise steel CBFs vulnerable to soft-story failures. The considered retrofit strategy consists of a sufficiently stiff rocking core (RC) pinned to foundation and connected to the existing frame. For demonstration …

Seismic Rehabilitation of Steel Moment Frames Vulnerable to Soft-Story Failures Through Implementation of Rocking Cores
… on development and validation of a seismic retrofit strategy for avoiding soft-story failures in low-rise and mid-rise steel moment frame buildings. The considered retrofit strategy consists of a sufficiently stiff Rocking Core (RC) pinned to the foundation and pin connected to the existing …

Design methodologies for the seismic retrofitting of bridges
This paper formulates an earthquake design strategy for bridges. Earthquakes can cause extreme economic damage and loss of life. Structural engineers must be conscience of earthquake slip type, earthquake proximity, and local soil properties when designing a structure. Structures subjected to …

Retrofit of deficient lap splice with post-installed anchors
… there is an increasing need for efficient retrofit solutions, with deficient lap splices being one of many research areas. A possible method to increase the capacity of deficient lap splices is to use post-installed undercut anchors. These anchors function as active confinement in the …

Optimization of retrofit decisions as risk mitigation strategies for infrastructure
Retrofit actions have become one of the prominent strategies for infrastructure mitigation planning in reducing vulnerability to hazards. A retrofit action is the application of advanced devices or materials to enhance structural performance. There are three common considerations in the …
