This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Performance of Federal Buildings in the January 17, 1994 Northridge Earthquake Of the 23 departments or agencies that responded to the request for information, 12 reported that they had no owned buildings in the affected area (table The other 11 agencies collectively own over 4000 buildings in the affected area, about 120 of which were damaged by the earthquake. The estimated cost of repairing the damaged structures totals about $127 million. Table 2 summarizes the information on the damaged buildings and the estimated costs of repair. There were no major injuries or fatalities reported in the damaged buildings. The earthquake occurred at a.m on a Federal holiday, Martin Luther King's Birthday, therefore most Federally-owned buildings, other than hospitals and residences, were not occupied. However, even if the earthquake had occurred while the buildings were fully occupied, the number of deaths and major injuries would have been relatively small because, with a few exceptions, the damage that did occur was minor.

Book excerpt: A magnitude 6.8 (Ms) earthquake centered under the community of Northridge in the San Fernando Valley shook the entire Los Angeles metropolitan area at 4:31 a.m. local time on Monday, January 17, 1994. Moderate damage to the built environment was widespread; severe damage included collapsed buildings and highway overpasses. A total of 58 deaths were attributed to the earthquake by the Los Angeles Coroner. About 1,500 people were admitted to hospitals with major injuries; another 16,000 or so were treated and released. Estimates of the number of people temporarily or permanently displaced because of damage to their houses or apartments ranged from 80,000 to 125,000. Estimates indicate that this will be the United States' most costly natural disaster ever. A multi-agency team, organized under the auspices of the Interagency Committee on Seismic Safety in Construction and headed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, arrived at the earthquake site within days of the event to document the effects of the earthquake. The team focused on the effects to the built environment, with the goal of capturing perishable data and quickly identifying situations deserving in-depth study. This report includes a summary of the team's observations. While most structural damage occurred in buildings and bridges of construction type and vintage known to be vulnerable to earthquake shaking, there were some unexpected failures. Notable among these were the collapses of relatively modern parking structures and a bridge that appeared to be adequate by today's standards. Recommendations are made for further studies of the Northridge earthquake that can lead to improved mitigation of earthquake effects. SEE ALSO: NISTIR 5396
