Document Description
The California Department of Corrections proposes to seismically retrofit the existing South Dormitories C, D and E at the Correctional Training Facility in Soledad. The dormitory building is a one-story structure with a rectangular plan, measuring 609 ft. x 41 ft. This reinforced CMU structure was built circa 1967 and is subdivided by expansion joints into three structures (Dorms C, D and E), each measuring approximately 200 feet long. The retrofit scheme includes minor seismic retrofit improvements including infilling a limited number of exterior windows to improve shear wall performance, strengthening the roof diaphragm-to-wall connections, adding collector elements, and adding brace frames at the interior. Project improvements will meet the seismic requirements established in the 1990 Earthquake Safety and Public Buildings Act.
