- Abstract
- This volume complements the technical materials principally oriented to design professionals in the Guidelines documents. Because of the complexities and possible disruption caused by seismic rehabilitation projects, this volume's title, calls attention to how important themes: that careful planning can minimize possibly difficult societal problems and that there exists a wide range of societal issues that may be more significant in rehabilitation projects than in new construction. In many ways, this publication is intended to provide a 'heads up' to those who are considering individual or multiple building, construction class or use, or area-focused seismic rehabilitation efforts.
