Of note in the photos...MERVYN'S in Morgan Hill, CA was the subject of an article on oriented strand board (OSB) following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The site is just a few miles from the epicenter - no structural damage.
MERVYN'S at Newpark Mall in Newark, CA is built into a hill. On the far side, customers enter this store at grade level on the second floor. A large retaining wall was designed to isolate the soil's seismic thrust from the structure, leading to cost savings in the remainder of the structure.
The Alameda County Heavy Equipment Repair Facility is located just outside Livermore, CA. That large rolling crane you see is used to lift engine blocks from truck bodies or to transport huge truck tires to and from mezzanine storage areas each end of the crane's run.
The Oaks Shopping Center in Cupertino, CA is a cluster of small buildings separated by courtyards and pavered walkways. The columns you see at the perimeter of the buildings provide all of the lateral force resistance, allowing tenants to fully utilize their storefront lines for merchandising.
