Los Angeles, CA
Scope/Solutions
The historic Lane Building is a twelve-story, nonductile concrete structure originally constructed in the early 1920s. The owner undertook a renovation project to convert the building to a mixed-use property with ground-floor retail and more than 100 apartment units. SGH collaborated with the project team to design seismic strengthening that could be integrated with the proposed program, while maintaining the building’s historic character.
As the executive structural engineer for the seismic retrofit, SGH applied ASCE 41 to design structural strengthening that complied with the City of Los Angeles’s Non-Ductile Concrete Retrofit Program. Highlights of our work include the following:
