Depending on the importance of structures, there are two levels of retrofit. For ordinary structures, a lower level of retrofit may be implemented. The purpose of this level of retrofit is to prevent collapse. With this level of retrofit, repairable damage is generally expected after a moderate earthquake. Following a major earthquake, extensive damage is expected and replacement of structures may be necessary. For important structures, a higher level of retrofit could be required at a considerably higher cost. The purpose of this level of retrofit is not only to prevent collapse, but also to provide serviceability after a major earthquake. There are two basic retrofit philosophies for a concrete
