The 1994 Northridge Earthquake provided a major test of the effectiveness of current rehabilitation methods for unreinforced masonry bearing wall (URM) buildings. A large sample of retrofitted URM buildings were shaken, many at high levels of ground motion, and a substantial amount of ground motion and damage data was collected. The majority of the strengthened buildings had been rehabilitated to the City of Los Angeles standards in Building Code Division 88 (1985), which is similar to others such as UBC (1994) and FEMA 178 (1992). These standards all aim to reduce the risk oflife safety. While no lives were lost due to retrofitted URM building damage in Northridge Earthquake, there was nonetheless a substantial amount of property damage, and a number ofbuildings had to be vacated. In some cases, the damage was significant and the buildings were eventually demolished because repair was deemed economically unfeasible. This study was to develop procedures that can be used to enhance the performance of rehabilitated URM buildings. The report is organized into three sections in the main body of the report (NIST GCR 97-724-1) and four appendices in a separate volume (NIST GCR 97-724-2), which address specific tasks in the study' workplan. These tasks are: (1) analysis of the earthquake damage data, (2) applicability of current practice nationwide, (3) study of techniques to enhance the performance of URM walls, (4) benefit-cost considerations, and (5) development of procedures to enhance the performance of rehabilitated URM buildings. Appendix A presents the results of Task 1. Appendix B presents the results of Task 2. Appendix C contains the Task 3 research summaries documenting relevant experimental studies of URM wall enhancement methods. Appendix D contains the cost and limited benefit information developed in Task 4 for selected enhancement procedures. The main body of the report summarizes, synthesizes, and evaluates the results contained in the appendices. Section 1.3 provides a summary of each of the five tasks. Section 2 contains recommended enhancement procedures for URM rehabilitation. Section 3 provides a discussion of the unresolved issues and research needs identified during the study for certain construction practices, rehabilitation methods, and collection of empirical performance data.
