Developed a voluntary seismic retrofit for a soft-story apartment complex.
Glendale Apartment Complex Limited Voluntary Soft Story Seismic Improvements
Provided limited voluntary seismic improvements to mitigate soft-story conditions at a three story over parking, 67-unit residential complex.

- Structural System: Soft-Story Retrofit with Bolted Steel Moment Frames
- Service: Seismic retrofit
Benefits:
- The soft story hazard has been reduced, without loss of parking stalls.
