CUREE is conducting ongoing development of Guidelines for Earthquake Damage Assessment and Repair. The goal is to provide a fair, accurate, and well-documented Guidelines for a general audience as well as engineers involved in evaluations of earthquake damage after an earthquake.

The project manager of these efforts is Dr. John Osteraas of Exponent Failure Analysis Associates. Document EDA2, General Guidelines for the Assessment and Repair of Earthquake Damage in Residential Woodframe Buildings was completed in October of 2007. Document EDA6, Engineering Guidelines for the Assessment and Repair of Earthquake Damage in Residential Woodframe Buildings is under development and currently seeking funding to finish the project.
