This report documents the work of a five-year, FEMA-funded project managed by the Applied Technology Council that investigated and addressed technical issues and developed guidance related to seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing buildings. FEMA submitted 35 detailed proposed revisions to the ASCE/SEI 41-23 consensus standard process. FEMA P-2208 presents the submitted change proposals and commentary, in addition to the technical studies that informed the proposals. The report is not intended to replace ASCE/SEI 41-23. Additional background appendices, which are not published as part of the report, are provided here for download: Part 1, Appendix A: Detailed Summary of Reinforced Concrete Punctured Shear Wall Studies Part 3, Appendix A: Derivation of Equations for Case 3 Part 3, Appendix B: Archetype Building 1 with Concrete Moment Frame with Concrete Shear Walls |
