Following the two damaging California earthquakes in 1989 (Loma
Prieta) and 1994 (Northridge), many concrete wall and masonry wall
buildings were repaired using federal disaster assistance funding.
The repairs were based on inconsistent criteria, giving rise to
controversy regarding criteria for the repair of cracked concrete
and masonry wall buildings. To help resolve this controversy, the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) initiated a project on
evaluation and repair of earthquake damaged concrete and masonry
wall buildings in 1996. The ATC-43 project addresses the
investigation and evaluation of earthquake damage and discusses
policy issues related to the repair and upgrade of earthquake
damaged buildings. The project deals with buildings whose primary
lateral-force-resisting systems consist of concrete or masonry
bearing walls with flexible or rigid diaphragms, or whose
vertical-load-bearing systems consist of concrete or steel frames
with concrete or masonry infill panels. The intended audience is
design engineers, building owners, building regulatory officials,
and government agencies. The project results are reported in three
documents. The FEMA 306 report, Evaluation of Earthquake Damaged
Concrete and Masonry Wall Buildings, Basic Procedures Manual,
provides guidance on evaluating damage and analyzing future
performance. Included in the document are component damage
classification guides, and test and inspection guides. FEMA 307,
Evaluation of Earthquake Damaged Concrete and Masonry Wall
Buildings, Technical Resources, contains supplemental information
including results from a theoretical analysis of the effects of
prior damage on single-degree-of-freedom mathematical models,
additional background information on the component guides, and an
example of the application of the basic procedures. FEMA 308, The
Repair of Earthquake Damaged Concrete and Masonry Wall Buildings,
discusses the policy issues pertaining to the repair of earthquake
damaged buildings and illustrates how the procedures developed for
the project can be used to provide a technically sound basis for
policy decisions. It also provides guidance for the repair of
damaged components.
