CA Codes (gov:8893)
GOVERNMENT CODESECTION 8893
8893. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that buildings constructed of precast concrete wall construction (commonly referred to as tilt-up buildings) or reinforced masonry buildings with inadequate wall anchorage to wood frame floors or roofs continue to pose a serious threat to public safety and the economic viability of the State of California because of their potential for damage and collapse during earthquakes. (b) The Legislature further finds and declares that in areas affected by past earthquakes, buildings with walls that were properly anchored to floors or roofs suffered less earthquake damage, less earthquake collapse, and fewer hazards to life. (c) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that this chapter shall ensure that earthquake hazards of all precast concrete or reinforced masonry buildings with inadequate wall anchorage to wood frame floors or roofs in the State of California are mitigated.
