Seismic Retrofitting Project

This project seeks to adapt seismic retrofitting techniques previously developed by Getty to better match the equipment, materials, and technical skills available in many countries with earthen sites. Using four Peruvian historic earthen buildings representing typologies across Latin America, the project is designing, testing, and implementing seismic retrofitting techniques and maintenance programs with locally available materials to improve the structural performance and safety of earthen buildings while minimizing loss of historic fabric.
