- Abstract
- The appendix to a report of seismic hazards in unreinforced masonry buildings in the Pacific Northwest presents the results of 35 case studies. Information provided for each of the buildings studied includes data built, history (ownership, use, and maintenance), and assessed value, as well as the results of a detailed field survey for seismic resistance evaluation. Both existing and potentially hazardous building elements are identified for each case.
