Portland, Oregon
Albers Mill Erickson Structural’s design team was retained to perform a seismic evaluation of the Albers Mill Building, located on the banks of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. A federal agency intended to renew a lease for space in the Albers Mill Building. As a stipulation of the lease agreement, the General Services Administration (GSA) required that the building meet the life safety seismic performance specifications of ICSSC RP6, Standards of Seismic Safety for Existing Federally Owned and Leased Buildings. This document references ASCE 31 (now replaced by ASCE 41), which at the time was the most current analysis methodology for the seismic evaluation of existing buildings. At the conclusion of the evaluation, a written report and presentation was produced summarizing the findings and conclusions. Mr. Erickson was the structural engineer of record for this project as a principal of Roggenkamp Erickson & Associates, PC.
