Retrofitted Buildings
Keyword(s):
This section contains information about several buildings that had been seismically rehabilitated before the Northridge Earthquake. Refer to Chapter 5 for reconnaissance information concerning retrofitted tilt-up-wall buildings and Chapter 8 for retrofitted unreinforced masonry buildings. Additionally, there is one retrofitted precast concrete parking garage discussed in Chapter 4. Undoubtedly, many more buildings have been retrofitted than are presented here, but building departments generally do not keep easily accessible records that identify retrofits, so data is difficult to gather. Seismic strengthening should be specifically identified in computer-based building department databases.
