A soft story retrofit is a structural upgrade designed to reinforce buildings with a "soft story" — typically the ground floor of a multi-story building that is more vulnerable during earthquakes. Soft stories often have large openings like windows, garage doors, or commercial spaces that reduce the structural integrity of the building. These features can make a building more prone to collapse in seismic events, posing significant safety risks to occupants.
To protect buildings and ensure their stability, a soft story retrofit involves adding braces or shear walls to strengthen the structure. This modification helps buildings withstand seismic forces, reducing the risk of damage or collapse in the event of an earthquake.
