System for earthquake retrofit
A system for earthquake retrofit of existing building structures uses a knee brace connected on one end to an existing stud and to an existing floor joist on the other end. An additional stud is provided for reinforcement to prevent the existing stud from failing. The capacity of all other components of the system exceed the capacity of the connections between the knee brace and the existing stud and existing floor joist, which connections act as a fuse in the event of an earthquake and fail first, thus preventing failure of other components and improving collapse capacity of the building structure.
