When a 2020 earthquake compromised the historic Towne Storage Gateway building in Salt Lake City, engineers faced the challenge of reinforcing its unreinforced masonry facade while maintaining its original architectural character. Through an advanced combination of retrofit techniques using FRCM and FRP, the team delivered a seismic upgrade that enhances structural integrity while preserving the building’s historic character.
