8893. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that buildings constructed of precast concrete wall construction (commonly referred to as tilt-up buildings) or reinforced masonry buildings with inadequate wall anchorage to wood frame floors or roofs continue to pose a serious threat to public safety and the economic viability of the State of California because of their potential for damage and collapse during earthquakes.
(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that in areas affected by past earthquakes, buildings with walls that were properly anchored to floors or roofs suffered less earthquake damage, less earthquake collapse, and fewer hazards to life.
(c) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that this chapter shall ensure that earthquake hazards of all precast concrete or reinforced masonry buildings with inadequate wall anchorage to wood frame floors or roofs in the State of California are mitigated.
(Added by Stats. 1991, Ch. 859, Sec. 3.)

(a) For purposes of this chapter, “adequate wall anchorage” means a connection between the wall and the floor, or between the wall and the roof construction, of a precast concrete or reinforced masonry building with wood frame floors or roof, which is capable of resisting the horizontal forces specified in Section 2310 or Section 2336 of the 1991 Edition of the Uniform Building Code of the International Conference of Building Officials. If adequate wall anchorage is achieved within three years from the date of receipt of notice pursuant to this chapter then compliance as specified in Section 8893.4 shall be deemed to have been achieved.
(b) Adequate wall anchorage shall include compliance with requirements for continuous ties or struts between diaphragm chords as specified in Section 2337 of the 1991 Edition of the Uniform Building Code of the International Conference of Building Officials.

8894.2. “Seismic retrofit” means retrofitting or reconstruction of an existing building or structure, to significantly reduce structural collapse and falling hazards from structural or nonstructural components of any building or structure including, but not limited to, parapets, appendages, cornices, hanging objects, and building cladding that poses serious danger to the occupants or adjacent areas. “Seismic retrofit” also means either structural strengthening or providing the means necessary to modify the seismic response that would otherwise be expected by an existing building or structure during an earthquake, so as to significantly reduce hazards to life and safety while also providing for the substantial safe ingress and egress of the building occupants immediately after an earthquake. Alternatively, “seismic retrofit” means to strengthen an existing building or structure, so as to improve or allow the building or structure to remain functional immediately after an earthquake.
