Application / Resilience
Seismic Retrofit
Seismic retrofit is not a catalogue exercise. Each support location must be evaluated against the updated analysis, desired movement behavior, existing geometry, jacking access and construction staging. A successful bearing package helps the project team translate those criteria into manufacturable hardware, controlled inspection and safe installation steps.
Typical bearing families
Engineering context
What the support line needs to solve.
- Working around existing structure and traffic operations
- Analysis-derived displacement and restraint requirements
- Jacking, temporary support and installation sequence
Selection route
Survey and inputs
Verify actual support geometry, available clearance, existing condition and approved analysis outputs.
Configuration
Develop the isolation or restraint arrangement around target performance, movement and connection capacity.
Execution
Plan drawings, hold points, packaging and installation labels around the contractor’s phased replacement method.
Project-specific discussion
Share the condition, not only the product name.
