WHAT IS SOFT STORY RETROFITTING?

Soft story buildings are common in the San Francisco Bay Area, characterized by open ground floors often used for parking and multiple residential or commercial units above. While these architectural designs offer flexibility, they pose significant seismic risks during earthquakes. Soft story retrofitting is the process of reinforcing these structures to enhance their earthquake resistance and protect lives and property. These measures typically involve adding additional steel or concrete supports, strengthening existing structural elements, and implementing advanced seismic bracing systems to minimize structural vulnerabilities in soft story buildings.
