Abstract:

In 1967, street minister Kent Philpott began outreach to lesbian, gay, and bisexual hippies in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Over the next decade, he counseled those who purportedly wanted out of what he referred to as “the gay lifestyle,” combining charismatic religious beliefs in demons, divine healing, and glossolalia with psychological theories on gender and child development. This article examines Philpott’s efforts to provide the nascent “ex-gay movement” with cultural, social, and intellectual foundations. This article specifically documents how sexual liberation, hippie culture, and conservative religion converged in San Francisco and spawned the “ex-gay movement.” Philpott, swept up by the Jesus People Movement, incorporated religious and psychological beliefs prominent in the Bay Area and infused charismatic Christian influences and traditional understandings of masculinity and femininity into the “ex-gay movement.”

Abstract:

This study examines the role of ethnicity and kinship in the economic adaptation of Chinese family firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. The development and operation of these Chinese firms are the result of a complex interactive process involving ethnic resources–such as traditional values, kinship relations, and information networks–as well as structural opportunities and constraints. Throughout their history in the Bay Area, Chinese immigrant entrepreneurs have creatively adapted to their social, economic, and political environments with resources from the family.

Abstract:

The early history of psychoanalysis in San Francisco begins in 1918 and ends in 1953. During those 35 years the San Francisco Bay Area witnessed the awakening of interest in psychoanalysis, the arrival of the European émigré analysts and the emergence of individuals and groups engaging in extraordinarily creative work and doing so in an ecumenical spirit and with a social commitment.This article provides an overview of this illustrious history and the people who participated in it.

Abstract:

From the Publisher: San Bruno Mountain, located in the center of the San Francisco Bay Area, is a four-squaremileglobal treasure—a natural preserve touted by biologist E. O. Wilson as one of the world’s rare biodiversityhot spots. Bathed in fog and wind and preserved from destruction by the fierce work of localconservationists, this mountain offers visitors a glimpse of what San Francisco looked like before colonization.Drawing on years of visits, observations, and research to offer a comprehensive flora of San BrunoMountain and its endangered species, conservationists Doug Allshouse and David L. Nelson help us understandthis unique and precious place from the point of view of the plants in this one-of-a-kind field guide.Detailing a total of 528 plant species (among them 316 natives), the authors also delve into the history of thisliving, changing habitat at the southern edge of San Francisco. The birds, butterflies, reptiles, geology, climate,dynamic changes, and political history of the preserve also feature in San Bruno Mountain. Even locals whohave enjoyed hiking and viewing the mountain for years will be astonished at this book’s revelations about thediversity and importance of this wild place.

Abstract:

A filmmaker and trailblazing film distribution entrepreneur, Freude (1942–2009) became a central figure in the San Francisco Bay Area film community in the late 1960s and 1970s. Her Serious Business Company (1972–83) distributed many of the era’s most acclaimed independent and experimental films, but its lasting impact created a platform for discovering lesser-known works. Freude’s contributions to the experimental film and independent filmmaking communities remain largely unsung. This article will excite further investigation and recognition into Freude’s important efforts to support California and national artist-made filmmaking movements as it examines her professional relationships and draws from interviews, correspondence, and ephemera from the Serious Business Company archives at the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley. It also builds on recent efforts at BAMPFA and San Francisco State University’s the Archive Project where authors Antonella Bonfanti and Tanya Zimbardo have recently been involved with public programs about Freude’s legacy.

Abstract:

AbstractThe second largest fire shelter deployment in U.S. history occurred in August 2003 during the Devil Fire, which was burning in a remote and rugged region of the San Francisco Bay Area, when relative humidity abruptly dropped in the middle of the night, causing rapid fire growth. Nocturnal drying events in the higher elevations along California’s central coast are a unique phenomenon that poses a great risk to wildland firefighters. Single-digit relative humidity with dewpoints below −25°C is not uncommon during summer nights in this region. To provide the fire management community with knowledge of these hazardous conditions, an event criterion was established to develop a climatology of nocturnal drying and to investigate the synoptic patterns associated with these events. A lower-tropospheric source region of dry air was found over the northeastern Pacific Ocean corresponding to an area of maximum low-level divergence and associated subsidence. This dry air forms above a marine inversion and advects inland overnight with the marine layer and immerses higher-elevation terrain with warm and dry air. An average of 15–20 nocturnal drying events per year occur in elevations greater than 700 m in the San Francisco Bay Area, and their characteristics are highly variable, making them a challenge to forecast.

Abstract:

The concept of immigrant generation is complex. Americans use the ordinal designations first-, second-, third-, even ‘1.5’-generation to refer to individuals' varying relationship to their family's moment of immigration. But these terms are much more fluid in practice than the rigidity of the numbers implies, and the nature of that fluidity is changing over time. Furthermore, different waves of immigration mean different experiences of generation identity; a first-generation immigrant in the 1880s entered an American community that was drastically different than the one a first-generation immigrant enters today.One example of these shifts in the meaning of immigrant generation is among Asian Americans across the country, particularly those in California. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between language and immigrant generation with respect to Chinese Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California, the region of the United States with the longest history of Chinese immigration and settlement. We focus in particular on the pronunciation of English, drawing on data collected in the Bay Area from 2008–2009 to argue that Chinese cultural and linguistic practices are gaining currency in the wider community. Our discussion looks at the experiences of third and higher immigrant generations, especially as they interact with more recent waves of immigrants, and the resulting dominance of Chinese and other Asian identities across the Bay Area. The layered and rapidly shifting Chinese American experience suggests potential future directions for the study of other immigrant communities in the United States.

Abstract:

Abstract This article focuses on the sanctuary movement in the United States and Europe, putting into conversation with one another migrant solidarity activists from different national contexts. This transnational roundtable draws on interviews with activists in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as in the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and on a workshop on sanctuary activism that involved forty activists from the Bay Area, Europe, and Australia. The article explores the meaning of sanctuary in these different locations and the strategies used by activists to create various forms of sanctuary while grappling with its contradictions. It addresses three key themes: (1) the meaning of sanctuary in campaigns that enact the right to freedom of movement across borders; (2) the binary of “good”/deserving versus “bad”/unworthy migrants; and (3) an abolitionist sanctuary model that links border violence to carcerality, neoliberal capitalism, white supremacy, settler colonialism, and fascism.

Abstract:

In the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and Los Angeles, urban development decreased the poor's access to water and marine resources. Modernization in these cities either reduced services to the poor and to ethnic minorities, be they Native Americans,Asian Americans, or Hispanic Americans, or diminished these groups' ability to supplement their incomes by fishing or foraging. Industrial development, shipping channels, and sewers all contributed to a larger pattern of environmental racism and environmental inequity in the United States. This forum contributes to the study of environmental justice by exploring how marginalized peoples adapted to urban growth and the reallocation of resources in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Abstract:

Conventional accounts of missionary and settler colonialism in California have overemphasized the loss experienced by Native Americans. For indigenous Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo people of the San Francisco Bay Area, a story of loss contrasts sharply with their casino—a symbol of prosperity—established in 2013. Each narrative is anchored to highly visible places that commemorate either loss or success. These places, examined here using two case studies, also conceal an important “heritage in-between”—that is, the critical time period, spaces, and things that reflect native resilience and transformation—that might serve to better contextualize both narrative projects.

Abstract:

Drawing on organizational records, the progressive press, and oral history archives, this article explores the development of a multiracial, coalition-backed boycott of Coors beer in the 1970s and 1980s. It focuses on the boycott’s expansion from a localized labor dispute in the San Francisco Bay Area to a national, politicized campaign. It argues that the Coors boycott and its array of backers, representing labor, Chicana/o, queer, black, Native American, and leftist circles, demonstrate the vibrancy, creativity, and evolution of activism in the decades following the civil rights movements. Instead of seeing the move to coalition and consumer movements as conservative, this article identifies the Coors boycott as an example of ongoing grassroots efforts to forge solidarity and oppose business conservatives and the New Right.

Abstract:

AbstractUsing a comparative methodology, this essay examines how and why longshore workers in both the San Francisco Bay area and Durban demonstrate a robust sense of working-class internationalism and solidarity. Longshore workers are more inclined than most to see their immediate, local struggles in larger, even global, contexts. Literally for decades, workers in both ports used their power to advocate for racial justice at home and in solidarity with social movements globally. While such notions might seem outdated in the twenty-first century, as unions have been on the decline for some decades, longshore workers grounded their ideals in the reality that they still occupied a central position in global trade. Hence, they combined their leftist and anti-racist ideological beliefs with a pragmatic understanding of their central role in the global economy. While not the norm, these longshore workers’ attitudes and actions demand attention, as they challenge the notion that workers in recent decades are powerless to shape their world.

Abstract Who and what makes history? This essay describes how physician-activist Tolbert Small (b. 1942) has been collecting, preserving, and recording his own history, as well as of those around him. Small has been practicing medicine in California’s San Francisco Bay Area since 1968, serving a diversity of patients: from thousands of community members to revolutionaries such as Angela Davis and George Jackson. A physician for the Black Panther Party from 1970 to 1974, Small joined the party’s 1972 delegation to China, where he witnessed acupuncture. He then integrated the practice into his medical toolkit upon returning home. Small’s personal archives document an important chapter of American social and medical history. His stories, along with those of the revolutionaries who introduced acupuncture into New York City’s Lincoln Detox Center during the 1970s, ask us to revisit conventional historical narratives as well as the way in which acupuncture history is made.

Abstract When I conducted life history research with communities of older LGBTQ adults in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2017, I found that their social networks continued to be impacted by the HIV/AIDS crisis, revealing gaps in my own knowledge about the crisis as a younger queer person. I analyze in this paper the conflict between what my interlocutors discussed and popular understandings of HIV/AIDS in America today, with collective memory as a theoretical basis. I compare this conflict to the unfolding narratives of COVID-19, its implications beyond the pandemic, and what anthropologists can do moving forward.

Abstract:

While the ferromagnetic properties of metallic objects, implantable medical devices, and cosmetics are well known, sand is not generally considered a consequential substance. Beaches in specific geographic regions, including the San Francisco Bay Area, have a propensity for ferromagnetic sand because of their geologic history. We describe a case in which ferromagnetic sand in a patient’s hair coated the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner bore and caused significant imaging artifact, fortunately with no harm to the patient. We recommend that MRI facilities in areas where ferromagnetic sand is found consider educating technologists and screening patients for recent black sand exposure prior to scanning.

Abstract:

The role of history dependency in explaining activity-travel patterns of commuters is investigated. Specifically, the extent to which one day’s activity engagement affects activity frequencies and activity durations of the next day is examined. The analysis uses 2-day activity survey data collected in 1996 in the San Francisco Bay area. Models of daily activity engagement and time allocation are estimated as a function of the previous day’s activity pattern to understand day-to-day dependency in activity engagement. Results from the model estimation effort are used to draw conclusions about the extent to which history dependency exists (within a 2-day time frame) in modeling different activity types. The results suggest there is a strong positive history dependency in activity engagement between days within a 48-h time frame.

Abstract:

Regional seismic damage simulation of buildings provides decision-makers with important information for earthquake disaster prevention and mitigation. Utilizing nonlinear time history analysis using multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) models for buildings, and the next-generation performance-based earthquake engineering, an open-source general-purpose scientific workflow for seismic damage simulation and loss prediction of urban buildings (referred to as SimCenter Workflow) is presented in this study. To introduce the SimCenter Workflow process in detail and demonstrate its advantages, a seismic damage simulation and loss prediction for 1.8 million buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area were performed using the SimCenter Workflow. The open nature and modularization of the SimCenter Workflow facilitate its extensibility and make it practical for researchers to apply to seismic damage simulations in other regions.

Abstract:

This article examines the 1967–1971 political prisoner solidarity movement for Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton as a case study of multiracial radical alliances in the San Francisco Bay Area. In contrast to the predominant trope of “unlikely allies,” I argue that the activists examined in this article who formed alliances with Newton and the Panthers were predisposed to collaborative activism through their common anti-imperialist orientation, expressed as anti-racism, anti-capitalism, and anti–U.S. military interventionism. In addition, I show that earlier alliances laid the foundation for alliances with later movements and organizations, creating what I term “genealogies of alliance” within the Free Huey Movement that demonstrate a persistent desire for collaborative activism throughout this era. This article prompts a reconsideration of Sixties radicalism; in contrast to scholarly and popular interpretations that focus on activists’ sectarianism and divisiveness, the Free Huey Movement illuminates how activists theorized and endeavored to work toward the collective liberation of all people.

Abstract:

The authors gave the following talk at the 2003 NCTE Annual Convention in San Francisco upon receiving the Alan C. Purves Award, presented to the RTE article from the previous year’s volume judged most likely to have an impact on classroom practice. Writing as lead author, Pauline Harris traces the history of her interest in children’s intertextuality through her life as a classroom teacher, her doctoral studies in the Bay Area, and her recent work with colleagues Jillian Trezise and W. N. Winser in Australia. As they describe the impetus behind their award-winning article and suggest directions for future research, the authors challenge classroom teachers to understand children’s intertextuality as a source of pleasure and complexity, and as a guide to appropriate and engaging instruction.

Abstract:

This essay charts a history of black liberation and complicity in the struggle for economic advancement at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) from the late 1950s into the 1980s. Joining scholars who have explored commercial aviation as a site of black mobility and immobility as well as those who have theorized Black Power's intersections with municipal policymaking, labor organizing, business and community development projects, and affirmative action programs, I examine the spheres of airport employment and entrepreneurialism to show how struggles to overcome social and spatial confinement in the Bay Area were often shaped by the entanglements of heterogeneous actors and systems. Indeed, such efforts at SFO responded to and were made possible by shifting interfaces of public and private capital investment; government action and inaction; the work of local and national networks of business elites, labor organizers, and activists; the efforts of individual black people to make their lives better; and a concomitant symbolic economy regarding the black presence in the Bay Area. As this story concludes in the 1980s, it demonstrates that despite some successes, such struggles had advanced in the Bay Area only so far as offering a precarious and patchy inclusion: a kind of holding pattern characterized by piecemeal professional integration and the more widespread consignment of black men and women to low-wage, low-skilled work, intermittent employment, and unemployment.

Abstract:

Abstract Paleoseismic trenching was performed to assess the slip rate and earthquake history of the northern segment of the Calaveras fault at a site along Welch Creek in the eastern San Francisco Bay area, California. At Welch Creek, the northern Calaveras fault crosses a series of fluvial terraces and displaces the intervening terrace risers. We derive a late Holocene slip rate using two independent methods: (1) by measuring the offset of the back-edge (i.e., terrace angle) of one of the offset terraces and (2) by using isopach contours to measure the offset of a debris flow unit within the terrace sediments. The terrace back-edge is offset 39 ± 1 m and is between 5 and 13 ka old. The debris flow deposit is offset 27 ± 1 m; the deposit age is estimated to be between 4840 and 5325 cal yr B.P. These findings suggest a late Holocene slip rate of 6 ± 1 mm/yr for the northern Calaveras fault. We recognize as many as seven surface-rupturing earthquakes at Welch Creek, although the amount of terrace back-edge displacement suggests that several more events must have occurred that are not discernable in the stratigraphic or structural record. Based on the maximum amount of time between age-constrained paleoearthquakes that are preserved in the record at Welch Creek, we derive an estimate of the maximum recurrence interval of between 1375 and 3425 yr. Using the assumption that additional events are required to account for the 39 ± 1 m of back-edge offset, we derive a recurrence estimate of between 125 and 685 yr.

Abstract:

Extending the archive of South Asian American visual culture to the kinds that community activists use in public spaces expands our understanding of how such cultures contest dominant discourses of home. In this article, I examine how the uses of theatre, photography, and clothing by the San Francisco Bay Area-based “Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour,” and the anti-domestic violence exhibit I Dare to Air created by Maitri, generate particular affective relationships to public and private space. These relationships in turn produce resistant knowledges of “home” that challenge the racist logics of the Trump administration and the violent logics of a rising Indian American capitalist class. The work of community activists thus demands that we invigorate space as an analytic through which we theorize the import of South Asian American visual culture.

Abstract:

The history of Oakland, California's urban forest was researched to determine events that could influence future urban forests. Vegetation in Oakland has changed drastically from a preurbanized area with approximately 2% tree cover to a present tree cover of 19%. Species composition of trees was previously dominated by coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), California bay {Umbellularia californica), and coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and is currently dominated by blue gum [Eucalyptus globulus), Monterey pine {Pinus radiata), and coast live oak. Many forces throughout the history of Oakland have shaped the current urban forest structure. These forces include the gold rush of the 1840's, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, massive afforestation of the early 1900's, and various fires from 1923 to 1991. These historical forces and the impact they had on Oakland's urban forest are explored. Future forces that can alter any urban forest are presented and discussed.

Abstract:

This article chronicles the various pivots one dance ensemble, Lenora Lee Dance, made in trying to bring our dance project to fruition under the COVID-19 pandemic and after both the murder of George Floyd and the spike in anti-Asian hate in the United States between 2020 and 2021. And the Community Will Rise was intended to be an immersive, site-specific dance set throughout the courtyards, hallways and apartment interiors of the Ping Yuen public housing complex in San Francisco’s Chinatown in autumn 2020. The piece aimed to explore the lives of the residents and the history of their struggle for affordable housing and tenants’ rights, amidst a contemporary background of rising housing insecurity among communities of colour in San Francisco. We were three rehearsals into the project when COVID-19 hit the Bay Area in March 2020. This article documents our attempts to adapt And the Community Will Rise from an immersive dance to an immersive screendance. I reflect upon the various options we moved through as the pandemic wore on, as well as the questions social distancing raised for us regarding the value of home, of sociality and also the value of remote dance performance. This article offers one case study, from an insider perspective, to understand wider artistic innovations this pandemic moment has initiated. Together they board a boat that crosses the San Francisco Bay and pulls into Angel Island. They disembark and trek the mile to the Immigration Station. An immigration officer meets them and divides them into two groups. Names are called and individuals step forward, the rest are marched into the building in two streams. One stream goes to the women’s dormitory where earlier detainees are already settled; a man in a white medical coat enters and calls more names; these women are ushered to the medical examination room, the showers and the interrogation office. The new arrivees follow behind.

Abstract:

The risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among men who have sex with men (MSM) is driven by various socio-behavioral factors. From 2015-2017, 247 MSM ≥ 18 years-old who reported alcohol use in the past year, were recruited into a cross-sectional study in San Francisco. Participants completed a survey assessing socio-demographics, substance use and treatment, sexual behaviors, HIV status and self-reported STI diagnosis in the past 6 months. Multivariable logistic regression models stratified by HIV status were used to identify the correlates of STIs. Of 247 MSM, the prevalence of bacterial STIs were: gonorrhea (12.9%), chlamydia (9.3%) and syphilis (6.0%). Among 177 MSM living without HIV, factors significantly associated with recent STI diagnosis were: current pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use (aOR = 3.53, 95% CI: 1.42–8.75, p ≤ .01), popper use during sex in the past 6 months (aOR = 3.16, 95% CI = 1.34–7.47, p ≤ .01) and a history of alcohol treatment (aOR = 0.17, 95% CI = 0.04–0.68, p = .01). Also, in a sensitivity analysis (removing PrEP), any receptive condomless anal sex was independently associated with recent STI diagnosis (aOR = 2.86, 95% CI = 1.15–7.08, p = .02). Among 70 MSM living with HIV, factors significantly associated with recent STI diagnosis were: White race/ethnicity (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 7.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.48–36.62, p = .01), younger age (aOR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.84–0.97, p < .01) and a higher number of male sexual partners in the past 6 months (aOR = 1.03, 95% CI = 1.00–1.06, p = .02). Sexual health interventions that address the unique needs of MSM living with and without HIV who use alcohol in San Francisco are needed to reduce STI acquisition and transmission.

Abstract:

Abstract In the early 1960s, amid affluence, loneliness, and increasing longevity, a new type of community appeared in the United States: the “active-retirement complex,” with thousands of houses and/or apartments and an unprecedented range of communal facilities. Though such communities were instantly popular, skeptics likened the first examples to internment camps, and to deflect such critiques, developers like Ross Cortese began to prioritize design. In Retirement Planning: Charles Warren Callister, the Neighborhood Unit, and the Architecture of Community at Rossmoor and Heritage Village, Matthew Gordon Lasner describes how Cortese hired acclaimed San Francisco Bay Area architect Charles Warren Callister, known for his innovative private and ecclesiastical commissions, to design a new retirement community known as Rossmoor, located in the East Bay suburb of Walnut Creek. Long interested in housing reform, Callister attempted to serve the needs of seniors, especially their needs for community and activity, by employing a village plan and arranging the housing in “neighborhoods” around clustered courtyards, both at Rossmoor and at a later project, Heritage Village in Connecticut. Lasner’s study examines the experiences of residents of Callister’s complexes to determine whether this approach, which was rooted in theory rather than gerontological research, “worked” as intended.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Injection drug use has been associated with infection with invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (iMRSA) and invasive group A Streptococcus (iGAS). In light of the ongoing opioid epidemic, we sought to describe the epidemiologic features of iGAS and iMRSA infections among persons who inject drugs (PWID) in the San Francisco Bay Area. Methods Active, population-based surveillance for iMRSA and iGAS was conducted in three California counties during 2008–2017. We defined a case as recovery of MRSA or GAS from a normally sterile site in a surveillance area resident ≥18 years of age. We collected demographic and clinical information and history of injection drug use (IDU) in the past 12 months. Trends in the incidence of infection were assessed using the Cochran-Armitage test for trend. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were calculated comparing PWID and non-PWID. Results Of the 6,705 iMRSA and 1,691 iGAS cases identified during 2008–2017, 764 (11%) and 241 (14%), respectively, were among PWID. The proportion of iMRSA cases reporting IDU increased from 9.6% in 2008 to 12.9% (P = 0.017) in 2017 (Figure 1); no significant trend was observed for iGAS cases (Figure 2). Among iMRSA and iGAS cases, PWID cases were younger than non-PWID cases (iMRSA median 46 vs. 63 years, P < 0.0001; iGAS 41 vs. 57 years, P < 0.0001) and were more likely to be homeless (iMRSA OR 8.3, CI 6.7–10.2; iGAS OR 5.4, CI 4.0–7.2), and diagnosed with endocarditis (iMRSA OR 5.9, CI 4.8–7.3; iGAS OR 2.8, CI 1.3–6.4) and internal abscesses (iMRSA OR 4.3, CI 3.5–5.3; iGAS OR 3.4, CI 2.1–5.5) (Table 1). For iMRSA, PWID cases were more likely than non-PWID cases to be community-associated, (OR 2.5, CI 2.1–2.9) and diagnosed with septic arthritis (OR 2.4, CI 1.9–3.0). Conclusion The proportion of iMRSA cases reporting IDU significantly increased between 2008 and 2017, in the San Francisco Bay Area. iMRSA and iGAS cases among PWID are younger, more likely to be homeless, and diagnosed with endocarditis and internal abscesses. Prevention measures targeting this younger population who are experiencing homelessness and/or are injecting drugs, may limit severe manifestations of iMRSA and iGAS. These prevention measures should include support of safe injection practices. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract:

A 1985 steel moment frame is seismically upgraded using passive energy dissipation, without adding stiffness to the system. The design and analysis techniques for sizing the Velocity Braces™ and their impact on the demand capacity ratios are reviewed. The structure was built in the San Francisco Bay Area in compliance with the 1985 Uniform Building Code (UBC). The moment frame contains the classic pre-Northridge nonductile moment connection, complete with weld backup bars left attached. Nonlinear time-history analysis procedures were implemented to verify the demand capacity ratios at the critical beam-column connections. Flexural demand capacity ratios of .6 achieve elastic behavior in the design basis earthquake with R=1.0. The response spectra of the time history chosen for design exceed the requirements of the 1997 UBC Zone 4. Torsional response to earthquake excitation is minimized by strategic placement of nonlinear viscous dampers. Nonlinear dampers that reduce the flexural demand on joints and control interstory drift without inelastic excursions of the beam flanges are achieved. Floor spectral accelerations and maximum drift limits are reduced to be consistent with immediate occupancy performance. The damper driver mechanism, being velocity driven, reduces moment frame demands and allows flexibility in configuration.
