As we progress in shoring and installing beams to secure our structures, the importance of a soft story retrofit becomes increasingly clear. This essential process not only enhances the safety and stability of buildings but also plays a crucial role in preparing for seismic events.
What is a Soft Story?
A soft-story refers to a building's lower floor that is significantly less rigid than the floors above. This is common in structures with large openings for parking. During an earthquake, the lack of support can lead to catastrophic failures, making retrofitting essential for safeguarding lives and property.
Our team at Sinai Construction is committed to providing expert solutions for soft story retrofits. The process involves shoring up the structure and strategically installing beams to create a more stable framework. This not only helps prevent structural failure during seismic events but also ensures compliance with safety regulations.
