Company ProfileBreiholz Qazi Engineering, Inc. (BQE) was formed by David
Breiholz in 1973 for the purpose of providing Civil and Structural engineering
consulting to the public and Breiholz Qazi Engineering, Inc. also provides seismic risk assessment/probable
maximum loss (PML) studies and structural analysis of existing buildings, from small
1-story commercial and industrial buildings to high-rise
residential/commercial buildings. The firm has provided this type of work continuously
since 1973, and has actively participated in the Structural
Engineers Association of California Existing Buildings Committee to develop design
codes and guidelines for such analysis. The Existing Buildings Committee contributed to
the development of the Uniform Code for Building Conservation (UCBC) Appendix Chapter 1
"Seismic Strengthening Provisions for Unreinforced Masonry Bearing Wall
Buildings". As past chairman of this committee, David Breiholz is now directing
subcommittee work that includes development of new code provisions for infill frame
buildings and tilt-up buildings, as well as code changes for the California state-adopted
UCBC, published by the International Conference of Building
Officials. BQE has taken part in the development of the CenterCore™
technique for the strengthening of seismically hazardous buildings. The technique has been
utilized on approximately 50 projects in areas of high seismiciy where it was appropriate
to the structural system.
