Mr. Mochizuki has more than twenty-five years of experience in the analysis and design of various types of structures. He has designed wood framed, structural steel, reinforced concrete, post tensioned concrete and masonry buildings for industrial, commercial and residential projects as well as reinforced concrete bridges. Among the projects he has been in responsible charge of are: the design of several 150 unit wood frame hotels; several wood frame shopping centers up to 15,000 square feet; several houses up to 9000 square feet; several wood frame apartment complexes up to 110 units; post tensioned concrete garage slabs up to 30,000 square feet supporting three stories of wood framed apartments; 15,000 square foot reinforced concrete garage slab supporting four stories of wood framed apartments; and steel and wood framed office buildings up to 18,000 square feet.
Mr. Mochizuki is also quite knowledgeable in earthquake engineering and the seismic renovation of buildings and bridges. He has analyzed large reinforced concrete and structural steel buildings. He also has designed seismic renovations for unreinforced masonry buildings; steel naval facilities; reinforced concrete hospital buildings; and wood framed buildings. Mr. Mochizuki has designed several foundation repairs and earthquake damage repairs for wood framed houses. He has also analyzed and designed seismic retrofits for existing concrete bridges, houses and apartment buildings. In addition, Mr. Mochizuki has performed earthquake or foundation movement damage assessments on hundreds of residences and small commercial buildings.
Mr. Mochizuki has also been retained as an expert witness in Structural Engineering including nearly a dozen single-family residence projects, a commercial-retail building project, a 31 unit and a 63-unit condominium project, and a 132 unit apartment complex project. Mr. Mochizuki has also served on the Structural Advisory Committee for the City and County of San Francisco for the structural review of a proposed 101-unit apartment complex.
Mr. Mochizuki is also currently the chairman of the Structural Engineers Society of Northern California Seismology and Structural Standards Committee. Mr. Mochizuki's involvement includes the evaluation, and revision to the seismic provisions of various building codes including the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Seismic Recommendations, the International Building Code, and the rewriting of the Structural Engineers of California Recommended Lateral Force Requirements. Mr. Mochizuki's charges also include the monitoring of on-going tests throughout the nation of wood shear wall panels. Mr. Mochizuki also acted as a checker and reviewer to the wood frame problems of the SEAOC Seismic Design Manual for the 1997 UBC. Mr. Mochizuki also acts as the SEAOC representative on the advisory committee for the Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering wood frame testing program.
Mr. Mochizuki was previously associated with NCT Engineering, L.S. Mason & Associates, URS/John A. Blume & Associates, and the Bechtel Corporation.
