ABSTRACT: The report is directed to engineers and building officials and is concerned with reducing the risks associated with buildings damaged by the Northridge earthquake. The guidelines were developed by practicing engineers based on their judgment and experience, and a preliminary program of laboratory, field and analytical research.
