In 2008, jet-grouting operations at a construction site near the church opened a long crack in its east wall. Permanent repairs to the church would not be practical until the nearby construc- tion was completed. A monitoring system was pro- posed that included crackmeters, Automated Motorized Total Stations, data loggers, wireless communications, automated processing, readings and alarms. and timely distribution of SPECIAL ISSUE : ® DEEP FOUNDATIONS The Magazine of the Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) is published bimonthly by DFI. 326 Lafayette Avenue Hawthorne, NJ 07506 USA T: (973) 423-4030 | F: (973) 423-4031 Email: [email protected] Executive Director Theresa Engler, [email protected] 12 The Berkeley Art Museum: Repurposing a Historical Building Simon Burnworth, P.E., and Timothy Nelson, S.E. The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) was in need of a new home after an engineering evaluation revealed that the building possessed seismic deficiencies. An adaptive reuse strategy was employed at the site of the former University Printing Press facility to create an 80,000 sq ft (7,432 sq m) space and preserve the character of the historical site. It was made possible using deep foundation elements to temporarily float the building while permanent foundations for a new basement and adjacent gallery were excavated and constructed below.
