The two large hangars and two smaller saddle buildings located in Playa Vista Los Angeles, CA—which stretch to a length of 740ft and a height of 75ft—were built during the Second World War and are a registered national historic building.

SEAOSC/SEAOC 2019 Excellence in Structural Engineering Awards The retrofit scheme of the existing building is summarized with the above cross section through the Hangars B14, B15, and B16. Four buckling restrained braced frame (BRBF) cores are located in the center of the spine of Building 15. As the spine build up is a designated historical part of the building, there were constraints at existing foundations due to the alignment of the structure with existing gridlines. This left only eleven 20-ft wide bays for the BRB frames. The roof diaphragm was strengthened with a horizontal steel roof truss, connecting to the BRB cores to meet current building standard seismic requirements. Multi-tier braced frames (MTBF) at the exterior east and west walls of B15 were added for additional lateral stability and work together with the BRB cores in the longitudinal direction. The isometric view (left) shows the layout of all BRBFs used in the seismic retrofit and new building seismic force resisting system. To limit and control the deformation capability requirements of the large hangars in the transverse direction, steel tie rods were added at approximately 60-ft on center. The tie rods reduced bending stresses in the glue laminated arches when the building moves away from the BRB cores and were introduced at selected arches at an elevation 53’-6” above ground. Buildings 14 and 16 are smaller side buildings and were retrofitted similarly with BRB frames along the perimeter in the longitudinal direction and at intermittent locations in the transverse direction. Digital tools were used to develop visualization templates of the analysis and design results, facilitating and accelerating the design process and permit process. Analysis results from an ETABs model of the entire existing structure were post-processed to create a stress distribution envelope of the glue laminated arches over the 38 gridlines. The final representation was one cross section, allowing for direct verification of all stresses below the capacity limit. The conceptual connection of the tie-rods to the glue laminated wood arches is shown on the left, as compared to the detail as constructed in field on the right. The pre-tensioned tie rods are a critical part of the retrofit as they significantly reduce transverse building dress and subsequently, stresses in the glue laminated arches.

The existing structure consists of glue laminated wood arches considered as new technology at the time they were glued on-site in 1943. 17,000 fully-threaded screws were used to retrofi t the original glue laminated arches showing signs of small to heavy delamination. Fully-threaded screws were chosen due to installation and cost effi ciency, and resulted in the fi rst time these screws were used in Los Angeles. Arup specifi ed a condition assessment that was performed by an external timber assessment consultant. An overview of each of the delaminations per arch in elevation was used to create construction documents including retrofi t details and schedules that corresponded to various delamination classifi cations. This allowed the contractor to measure the depth of each delamination in-fi eld and determine the applicable retrofi t detail. Due to this lightweight solution, additional costs for a gravity retrofi t that would have otherwise been triggered was avoided.

The erection of the 55-ft and approximately 11-ft wide multi-tier braced frames (MTBFs) required close coordination with the steel contractor. MTBFs were located directly in front of the existing sheathed shear walls to minimize visual impact that would take away from the historical nature of the building. Adjustments to anchor bolts and foundations were included in the structural design to allow for erection in a tight space due to adjacency to the existing building structure. MTBFs were not part of any building code at the time of design and Arup worked with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety to design and permit this frame assembly.
