Description

Essex Fox Plaza Tower
Fox Plaza Tower is a 30-story steel building in San Francisco with a unique and unconventional lateral system consisting of steel moment frames having haunched-beams with Pre-Northridge welded moment connections to both strong and weak axis of built-up columns in a space-frame configuration. The unique characteristics of the connections necessitated full-scale laboratory-testing and extensive nonlinear response history analysis to assess the building seismic performance. The seismic retrofit scheme was specifically tailored to address concerns with excessive building drift and potential for building collapse, including direct connection strengthening at the upper levels and exterior braced frames with fluid-viscous dampers at the lower levels.
