Box 1299 <br />Everett, WA 98206 <br />subjec•.:: Red Rose Building vs. First Interstate Bank Building <br />-Beissic Resistance Conparison- <br />Our Ref.: #83-868 <br />To Whom This may concern: <br />This office investigated the seismic resistance of both the Red <br />Rose Building, located at Wetmore and California Avenues in <br />Everett, and the First Interstate Bank office, located on Rucker <br />Avenue and 42nd Street, Everett. <br />Based on the assumption that the First Interstate Bank building <br />complies with the requirements of the 1970 Edition of the <br />Uniform Building Code (U.B.C.), and thus must withstand <br />horizontal loads of V-1x1.33x0.lxW=0.133W, e.g. 13.3% x the mass <br />(weight). <br />The Red Rose Building was designed by this office and complies <br />with the 1985 U.B.C. and it will withstand horizontal loads of <br />V=0.75xl.33x0.14xWxl.5=0.21, e.g. 21% x the mass (weight). <br />Conclusions: <br />The Red Rose Building has a 58% greater lateral resistance <br />against earthquakes than the bank building. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />STRUCTURAL DESIGN ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />by <br />Kase Vanden Ende, P.E. <br />president <br />KVE/jme <br />
