Our team was tasked to complete the seismic improvement of this soft-story behavior building without interrupting normal school activity. To achieve this, the best course of action was to intervene with buckling restrained axial dampers to improve stiffness on the first story. This intervention eliminated the soft-story behavior, while also increasing damping during seismic action with columns made from carbon fiber wrapping.
