A building that has already been retrofitted once may need attention again if

  • A.the original retrofit was designed by a qualified engineer rather than by its owner
  • B.the building has stood for more than five years since the work was completed
  • C.the strengthening work used steel rather than reinforced concrete elements
  • D.the code requirements or its use have changed

Answer: D

A change of occupancy to an essential facility, or a revision to the hazard map, can both raise the bar above what the earlier work achieved. Records of the previous retrofit are then invaluable and are worth keeping with the drawings.
