This five-story reinforced concrete frame building was nearly complete when the 2010 earthquake struck. The building received only minor earthquake damage; however, the future tenant, UNICEF, wanted to be sure the building was safe. Miyamoto performed a structural analysis and found that the building needed strengthening to meet life safety requirements. Instead of using standard rehabilitation schemes, our engineers used fluid viscous dampers to help protect the structural frames during future earthquake events. Twenty fluid viscous dampers were added along the concrete frame bays on the lower three stories of the building to absorb seismic energy and reduce demand on the concrete frames during earthquakes; and the concrete columns on the lower floors were wrapped in fiber-reinforced plastic to increase their ability to displace without losing strength. This building is the first of its kind in Haiti to use NASA technology to protect lives during powerful earthquakes.
