New Foundation & Systemic Retrofit Foundation

A seismic retrofit for a foundation strengthens a home’s foundation to improve its resistance to earthquakes. It is crucial for older homes or structures in earthquake-prone areas, like California. Here’s an overview of seismic retrofit options for foundations:

1. Foundation Bolting (Anchor Bolting)

Involves securing the house to the foundation using anchor bolts.
Prevents the home from sliding off the foundation during an earthquake.
Common in homes built before the 1980s that lack proper anchoring.

2. Cripple Wall Bracing

Reinforces short walls between the foundation and the first floor (cripple walls).
Uses plywood shear panels to prevent lateral movement.

Used for homes with large openings on the ground floor, like garages.
Involves adding moment frames, steel braces, or shear walls to strengthen weak points.
Common in multi-story homes with garage spaces underneath.

5. Slab Foundation Reinforcement

If the home is on a concrete slab, retrofitting may involve post-tensioning or deepened footings.
In some cases, adding steel reinforcement can prevent cracking and displacement.

6. House Lifting and Retrofitting

In extreme cases, the house may be temporarily lifted to install a new reinforced foundation.
Used for homes with severe foundation failure or those built on soft soil.
