OMD Seismic Assessments

Description
Over 490,000 square feet of Oregon Military Department facilities were seismically evaluated using basic and enhanced performance levels of the ASCE 41-13 guidelines.
The assessments consisted of two paths of evaluation per facility: to meet baseline seismic requirements and to achieve enhanced seismic performance. For each structure MCE performed analysis, narratives, and reports for structural upgrades with detailed preliminary estimates of probable construction costs.
