Contributions of photographs are needed, yes!!!! Give us photographs!!!!! (comment moved from article page)
I am editting it whenever i found some free time away from my doctoral research on seismic retrofit. I hope such background will be sufficient. :) Anon with NZ I.P. address
This page is looking excellent, could any of you guys work on cleaning up the page retrofit? After all, it is the parent page of this page. - Eptin
I added a picture of an earthquake bolt in Charleston, SC. As well, I cleaned up some of the headlines and decks that were unused. RegBarc 23:09, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
So why is this the seismic retrofit article? It includes a lot of information that is also relevant about earthquake-proofing new construction, and as far as I can tell there is not a separate article on that subject. Why not rename this article something like seismic protection and rewrite/reorganize/expand as necessary to include all earthquake-safety building features? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.212.60 ( talk) 17:02, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
the text on this image is very poorly worded:
Note that composition of images and locations of faults are approximate and should not be relied upon for geotechnical or building or land purchase decisions - consult an licensed geotechnical expert regarding these matters is this is important to you. No liability is assumed regarding use or decisions based upon this composite image nor any artistic additions regarding fault location or extent of possible rubble zones. The red locations are wide owing to the scaling of the lower resolution USGS image and does not necessary convey any reliable information in a geotechnical sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Badmachine ( talk • contribs) 10:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
A method for reinforcing brick chimneys is a poured in place concrete liner. An inflatable form is inserted into the chimney, inflated then concrete is poured around the form. When the concrete has cured the form is deflated and removed. This creates a solid core in the chimney, though only the innermost layer of brick directly adheres to the concrete. The foundations of some chimneys may not be able to support the additional weight.
The concrete pilings of this bridge are being cleaned, wrapped with glass reinforced plastic sheet then resin is injected between the piling and the wrapping. The project may be completed by now. AFAIK the main function of this is to preserve the pilings from damaging marine life such as barnacles, but it may also serve as structural reinforcement.
