Experiment
Multiple two leaf parapets, secured using common retrofits of the area and experimentally validated retrofits, will be dynamically loaded on a Shake table to provide experimental data of their effectiveness in a dynamic setting.
Test both experimentally validated and industry accepted retrofits for URM parapets to see which methods are the most effective.
