William T. Holmes, Structural Engineer Vice President general

Mr. Holmes has more than 38 years of practical experience in all aspects of designing structures. Since most of his work has been in California, seismic design has become his specialty. Mr. Holmes has also been active in local, national, and international professional committees and workshops and in research and development in seismic engineering. specific qualifications

In addition to many years of structural and seismic engineering experience Mr. Holmes has been active in code development and implementation of research results for over 30 years. He has been president of ATC, served on the board of EERI, served as chair of the NEHRP Provision Update Committee for 8 years, and has been involved in most of the significant projects in FEMA’s program to reduce the seismic risk from existing buildings.

Mr. Holmes is an expert in seismic vulnerability of buildings and loss estimation. He has served on the controlling committee for the development of HAZUS since its inception in 1991, and is currently its Chair. He was the Senior Technical Advisory for the development FEMA 273, which is the current standard for seismic analysis of buildings and is the basis for state-of-the-art vulnerability calculations.

Mr. Holmes is also familiar with seismic safety policy and risk mitigation programs. In 1990, he developed probable seismic losses from unreinforced masonry buildings in San Francisco that led to a retrofit ordinance. Following the Northridge earthquake, the California Seismic Safety Commission in writing a policy report on the earthquake to the governor chose him to develop background material concerning buildings. He is currently serving on San Francisco Department of Building Inspection’s Project Advisory Panel for the Community Action Plan for Seismic Safety, a multi-year program to develop new and more effective policies to reduce the City’s seismic vulnerability. He was also co-author of the FEMA document, A Guide to Using HAZUS for Mitigation. academic experience
