Résumé en anglais

The seismic retrofit of the City and County Building, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA designed by architects Monheim, Bird and Proudfoo 1891-1894 addresses the third sub-theme of the 8th ICOMOS General Assembly "Monuments in relation to their natural and build environments and their historical context". Because of the building's geographical location along the Wasatch fault line, Zone 3, i.e., an area with a "moderately high" seismic risk, earthquakes are a major concern and therefore the building, built prior to seismic design considerations, must be upgraded to meet contemporary codes.
