Seismic Weaknesses & Earthquake Risk
Earthquakes reveal and worsen structural flaws — especially in soft-story buildings and unreinforced masonry. Learn the signs of seismic vulnerability and how to prevent catastrophic failure.

Common Structural Weaknesses from Seismic Events
Not Just Damage — Life Safety Risk
When seismic loads exceed the structure’s capacity, partial or full collapse is possible. Strengthening your structure means protecting both your investment and the people inside.
