UCSF Pride Hall at ZSFG

Located on the historic Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG) campus, the five-story, 175,000 GSF Pride Hall building provides academic and research facilities for University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) faculty and staff. The design-build seismic replacement project also involved realigning underground utilities and constructing a driveway, parking, and retaining wall. Geotechnical challenges included the varying thickness of undocumented fill and depth to bedrock, varying from 20 to 70 feet below the building. Langan conducted supplemental geotechnical investigations and geophysical surveys to evaluate subsurface conditions and obtain information for our seismic hazard evaluations in accordance with UCSF Technical Performance Criteria and the US Seismic Policy. We also demonstrated that shallow spread footings would work for the structure and meet performance criteria and performed a Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis to develop site-specific horizontal response spectra.
