Abstract
Most of the tall building stock in San Francisco was designed according to prescriptive guidelines that are now believed to be inadequate for tall building design. Furthermore, the lateral resisting system most commonly utilised in such buildings has shown significant vulnerability in past earthquake events. This document summarises the background and work conducted to date as part of a larger study, currently in progress, aimed at assessing seismic performance and providing retrofit recommendations where required for typical 1970s tall steel moment frame buildings in San Francisco.
