Claims16
A system for structural restraint of structures against seismic and storm damage, the system comprising:
- a plurality of structural framing components;
- a plurality of structural sheathing components;
- a plurality of structural fasteners;
- one or more structural foundations;
- and
- a structural bonding agent.
Use of a structural bonding agent to reinforce building structures against seismic and storm damage by preventing egress of structural fasteners from structural building components.
A method of reinforcing a structure against seismic or storm damage comprising the steps of:
- framing a desired structure;
- applying a structural flexible bonding agent over structural fasteners at selected locations of the framed structure to achieve a desired thickness.
