Ways to Protect Existing Buildings with Low-Cost Methods to Deal with Environmental Changes

Different methods are used to reinforce existing buildings to cope with more frequent extreme weather. As the frequency of extreme weather increases, the requirements for wind resistance, flood resistance and resistance to other natural disasters required by buildings have also increased. This is usually accompanied by the increase in construction costs and most of the existing buildings do not have the disaster resistance of new buildings. The proposed need to strengthen existing buildings to reduce costs and deal with disasters. In the following paragraphs, different reinforcement methods have been proposed for different natural disasters, such as wind disasters and floods, and verified by testing the physical structure resistance. The conclusion proves that the wind resistance and flood resistance of existing buildings can be improved through relatively inexpensive additional simple structures.
