Pouring Concrete: The Final Step in Soft Story Retrofit Strengthening

In Los Angeles, soft story buildings are common—and so are earthquakes. To ensure safety and structural integrity, retrofitting these buildings is not just a smart move, it’s often required by law. One of the most critical steps in this process is pouring concrete over the newly installed rebar and steel framing.
After the steel frame is securely installed—connecting the soft story structure to newly fortified footings—concrete is poured to complete the new foundation. This concrete not only locks everything in place but also provides the strength and stability needed to withstand seismic forces.
