Steel bracing saves buildings from earthquakes, revolutionizing seismic safety.
Seismic retrofitting using steel bracing is an effective method to strengthen buildings against earthquakes. By adding steel bracings to reinforced concrete structures, the strength, stiffness, ductility, and stability of the buildings can be improved. This technique not only enhances the earthquake resistance of the structures but also reduces operation costs and environmental impacts. Different steel bracing patterns can be used to retrofit buildings and make them more stable during seismic activities.
