Structural Retrofitting in Historic Buildings – the Case of Hearst Greek Theatre, California
International Journal of Engineering & Technology, 7 (1.4) (2018) 1-7 International Journal of Engineering & Technology Website: www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/IJET Research paper Structural retrofitting in historic buildings – the case of Hearst Greek theatre, California Kanika Bansal* Professor, Chitkara School of Planning & Architecture *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A modification process after manufacturing or constructing is called Retrofitting. Within the existing built forms it refers to the transitions made to the systems in the building or the structure after it is constructed or put to its defined use. Within the present day context, there are many historic buildings that are still in use or have the potential for future use. These may not be sometimes used to their full potential, despite their historic character and environmental features as most of them do not satisfy the contemporary needs of the present day user. They may also have been built for a purpose that no longer exists or has changed and often lag behind today’s performance standards and codes. Therefore, for contemporary use of such historic buildings, Retrofitting for Rehabilitation is an opportunity for alterations and additions to suit it to the present day context. The most significant aspect of retrofitting is associated with structural refurbishment which aids for added strength, stability and safety of the historic buildings. Retrofitting measures in a historical building aims to improve the overall performance of the building, facilitate techniques to alter, repair or add to make the historic building fit for contemporary use without jeopardizing their historic qualities.

The goal was to create an institution with attributes “equal to those of Eastern Colleges,” what today are called the Ivy League schools. This new university not only would educate students but also serve and assist the people of California. As a public research university, Berkeley was charged with seeking new knowledge and discovery to serve the public interest, and providing Californians access to its excellent educational opportunities. Public research universities are pivotal in realizing society’s potential for opportunity, innovation, social justice, and prosperity — extending the public good for the benefit of all. Today, Berkeley is recognized as a leader among the world’s universities in offering true breadth, access, and comprehensive excellence. As UC’s oldest campus, Berkeley is home to many historic sites, including South Hall [the first UC building, constructed in 1873], Hearst Greek Theatre [1903], California Hall [1905], Hearst Memorial Mining Building [1907], the Campanile [1914], Doe Library [1917], and Wheeler Hall [1917]. The campus has many world- class research museums, field stations, and other research centers, along with a library collection that ranks as one of the “Berkeley — the university — seems to best in the nation. In 2007 the Association of Research Libraries ranked me, more and more, to be California’s Berkeley’s library among the top five university research libraries in North America. Its rare and specialized collections, such as the Bancroft Library’s highest, most articulate idea of itself.” Mark Twain Papers and Project [the world’s largest collection of Twain — JOAN DIDION ’56 materials], serve educators and scholars from around the state and the Author world.

A Naturalist in Show Business
A NATURALIST IN SHOW BUSINESS or I Helped Kill Vaudeville by Sam Hinton Manuscript of April, 2001 Sam Hinton - 9420 La Jolla Shores Dr. - La Jolla, CA 92037 - (858) 453-0679 - Email: [email protected] Sam Hinton - 9420 La Jolla Shores Dr. - La Jolla, CA 92037 - (858) 453-0679 - Email: [email protected] A Naturalist in Show Business PROLOGUE In the two academic years 1934-1936, I was a student at Texas A & M College (now Texas A & M University), and music was an important hobby alongside of zoology, my major field of study. It was at A & M that I realized that the songs I most loved were called “folk songs” and that there was an extensive literature about them. I decided forthwith that the rest of my ;life would be devoted to these two activities--natural history and folk music. The singing got a boost when one of my fellow students, Rollins Colquitt, lent me his old guitar for the summer of 1935, with the understanding that over the summer I was to learn to play it, and teach him how the following school year.. Part of the deal worked out fine: I developed a very moderate proficiency on that useful instrument—but “Fish” Colquitt didn’t come back to A & M while I was there, and I kept that old guitar until it came to pieces several years later. With it, I performed whenever I could, and my first formal folk music concert came in the Spring of 1936, when Prof. J. Frank Dobie invited me to the University of Texas in Austin, to sing East Texas songs for the Texas Folklore Society.
