Seismic Retrofit of Timber Roofs on Open-Cut Reservoirs
Publication: TCLEE 2009: Lifeline Earthquake Engineering in a Multihazard Environment
Abstract
As part of its Seismic Improvement Program, the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) performed seismic retrofits on the roof structures on the Sobrante Water Treatment Plant Clearwell (8.2 MG) and the Upper San Leandro Water Treatment Plant Clearwell (6.6 MG). Both clearwells are open-cut reservoirs with timber roofs built in the early 1960's. The objective of each retrofit is to prevent the reservoir roof structure from collapsing into the water and thus degrading water quality and blocking the inlet-outlet piping. The designs were prepared using the 1997 Uniform Building Code and the EBMUD's Engineering Standard Practice.
