Building Stabilization Techniques

Building stabilization techniques involve methods used to secure and support a structure to prevent movement or collapse, especially after events like earthquakes, shifts in the ground, or damage. Techniques include adding temporary supports like shoring or bracing, and permanent solutions such as underpinning, which strengthens the foundation. Engineers assess the building's condition and apply the appropriate measures to ensure safety and stability, preserving its integrity while addressing any underlying issues causing instability. These methods are critical to protect occupants and extend the lifespan of the building.
