- Abstract
- The conference began with a presentation of the results of studies of seismic hazards in reinforced masonry buildings in small towns in the Pacific Northwest. Topics then addressed by the four panels were: (1) Seismicity and Seismic Design in Unreinforced Masonry Buildings, (2) Small Town History and Socioeconomic Perspective, (3) The Process and Economics of Rehabilitation: An Owner's Perspective, and (4) Planning for Seismic Hazards in Unreinforced Masonry Buildings in Small Towns: Reaction to a Proposed Historic Building Code.
