Nathan C. Gould, Regan M. Milam, James R. Snow · 2009
As part of major renovation projects at Department of Defense facilities, the seismic evaluation and possible retrofit of the existing structure may be required. Structural engineers need to adhere to specific Unified Facilities Criteria documents that govern the seismic analysis and retrofit of existing structures. In addition, Antiterrorism and Force Protection criteria specific to the Unified Facilities Criteria documents may significantly impact the choice and implementation of seismic retrofit measures for Department of Defense structures.
