Campus Seismic Retrofitting Report

Principles and Methods of Campus Seismic Retrofitting
  • Enhancing Structural Seismic Capacity: To meet standard safety requirements and safeguard the lives of faculty, staff, and students.
  • Minimizing Environmental Impact: The retrofitting design is based on the principle of not disrupting the classes and daily routines of faculty, staff, and students, while keeping the environmental impact during construction to an absolute minimum.
  • Improving User Comfort: Energy-dissipating damping components are utilized in the retrofitting process to improve the buildings' seismic resistance capacity (reducing seismic forces) and diminish the perceived intensity during an earthquake.
