WHAT IS SEISMIC RETROFITTING?
The City of Los Angeles passed Ordinance 183893, which requires the retrofit of soft-story buildings and non-ductile concrete buildings.
The goal of the mandatory retrofit programs, under the ordinance, is to reduce structural deficiencies and improve the performance of these buildings during earthquakes.
