The Applied Technology Council and the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers awarded Salt Lake City-based Reaveley Engineers + Associates the Top Seismic Project Award in the Masonry Structure Category for the structural design of the Salt Lake City Tabernacle seismic upgrade and renovation.
Jeff Miller and Craig Wilkinson accepted the award at the ATC-SEI Gala on Dec. 10 in San Francisco.
RE+A provided structural evaluations on the Tabernacle and found many structural deficiencies. With the large seismic fault that runs along the foothills of the Salt Lake Valley, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wanted to preserve the historic fabric of the Tabernacle and protect its occupants when a major earthquake occurs. The major challenge was to seismically upgrade the structure and still preserve the historic integrity of the building.
