University Hazard Mitigation Planning

Ryan WiedenmanHazard Mitigation Planner


Why Plan?More than just lip service…1) To force us to think about the risks we

face as a jurisdiction, university, etc.2) To have real, substantive projects

that we can implement when the opportunity for mitigation opportunities arise

Facility Description (Western)

NCCHEF #: 1-41-6-23 [See Appendix] Year Built: 1904 Intended Use: Dining hall Actual Use: Dining hall Construction Cost: $ 471,000 Present Value of Structure: $ 9,151,498 Present Value of Contents: $ 1,253,440 Number of Stories: 2 Square Footage (Conditioned): N/A Façade Constr. : Brick masonry, glass curtain wall Roof Constr. : Slate, rubber, metal standing seam Structural System: Masonry shear walls & R/C frame Special Contents: Cafeteria, kitchen, cold storage Last Renovation: N/A Date Inspected: 30 March 2009


Facility Description (Western)

Facility Description The University Dining Hall is the primary cafeteria for students and faculty on campus. The facility houses the kitchens and cold storage necessary to cater all campus facilities. The original structure of the dining hall was constructed in 1904 of multi-wythe brick masonry and has a rubberized roof. In the 1960’s four additional wings were constructed of reinforced concrete with concrete pan and joist floors and a slate tile roof supported by steel trusses. Exterior walls are constructed of masonry infill. In the 1960’s a third addition of the atrium and other areas was constructed of reinforced concrete with a concrete pan and joist floor

system. The building is entirely above grade with a crawl space in the middle of the five wings. The foundation is constructed of hollow clay masonry piers and shear walls. The building has a backup generator for life safety functions. The building is not sprinklered but does have a fire alarm system. The facility has an emergency plan to provide catering services in the event of an extended power outage.


Risk and Vulnerability (Western)

· Unreinforced clay masonry piers and/or shear walls support the center of the building and utilities. In a seismic event these unreinforced piers and/or shear walls can fail and cause building collapse or damage to utilities. (Photos 1 and 2)

· Insufficient concrete cover over reinforcing steel has led to corrosion in reinforced masonry and concrete components. (Photos 3 and 4)

· Paling on patio on NE side of facility is being forced off the patio (Photos 5 and 6)

· Back-up generator is not capable of sustaining normal operations in the event of a power loss Photo 2.

Mitigation Actions (Western)Mitigation MeasuresA: <$5,000 B: $5,000-$25,000 C: $25,000-$100,000 D:

>$100,000• Foundation piers and/or shear walls should be retrofitted to enhance

seismic performance. D (High Wind/Tornado, Winter Weather)• All areas of insufficient concrete cover should be inspected and

properly repaired to provide cover for reinforcing steel and prevent further deterioration and compromising of structural integrity. B (High Wind/Tornado, Winter Weather)

• Retrofit the paling and patio drainage/flashing as needed to remediate damage and prevent further deterioration C (High Wind/Tornado, Winter Weather)

• Provide back-up generator power sufficient to maintain a food supply and business continuity in the event of an extended power loss D (High Wind/Tornado, Winter Weather)
