Building a Seismically Stronger California
Just five miles from California’s loaded Hayward Fault stands the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans’) District 4 headquarters, a towering 15-story steel moment frame structure that houses the San Francisco Bay Area’s transportation operations, including its emergency response team. A team under the direction of Degenkolb Engineers, and including The Crosby Group, employed extensive state-of-the-art analysis techniques to design and test a retrofit scheme that will protect a vital community asset.
The Department of General Services has produced a video describing this massive undertaking.
