A retrofit that stiffens only the upper storeys of a building risks
Answer: A
Correct answer: creating a soft storey lower down
Stiffening part of a building concentrates the deformation in whatever is left unstiffened, so the storey below the strengthened region takes the drift the storeys above no longer do. A retrofit must therefore be checked over the whole height - strengthening a part can make the whole worse.
