San Francisco (SFO) Terminal 3 East Retrofit and Expansion

Seismic retrofit and expansion of a 24/7 operational, two-story airport terminal to enhance concessions, relieve congestion at the passenger screening checkpoint, add new airport club room, and seismically strengthen the existing structure. An innovative structural retrofit solution was developed that utilized the new structural expansion on the airside of the terminal to seismically retrofit the entire existing structure with an “exterior buttress” approach.
