fischer Earthquake-Proof Retrofitting Solutions Tested to Offer Stability Under Seismic Influence.
Tuesday, Jul 28, 2026 17:53:-Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (NewsVoir) Earthquakes are among the greatest global challenges for the safety of structures. Existing buildings constructed before the introduction of modern earthquake standards are particularly vulnerable, as they are often unable to withstand seismic loads. This raises an urgent question: how can such buildings be retrofitted to improve their earthquake resistance? Unternehmensgruppe fischer and Purdue University (USA) carried out full-scale tests on reinforced concrete structures. These tests enabled the definition of new approaches for the seismic retrofitting of existing buildings.
