WEBINAR:
Existing Buildings and the “10% Rule”: Are We In Agreement

Additions, alterations, and voluntary seismic improvements to existing buildings can be challenging to implement in California. This presentation provides a brief history of the addition and alteration code sections’ evolution; the survey questions themselves; and the results of the survey. The presentation concludes with remarks that may help both practicing engineers and building officials by providing a path forward to resolve issues with varied interpretation and implementation of these code sections, including identification of the need of code language improvements, written commentary, or educational opportunities.
