This lecture presents case studies of seismic retrofitting in Switzerland, focusing on buildings of different importance classes such as a Command Center, Fire Station, Substation, School, Shopping Center, and Liquid Gas Tank. The instructor, Thomas Wenk, discusses the initial state of each structure, the retrofitting strategies implemented, and the associated costs. The lecture highlights the importance of seismic safety measures and the challenges of retrofitting existing structures to meet modern safety standards.
