COLUMN BUILDING SCIENCES FIGURE 7 Continuity of the air control layer at interior posts and piers. Retrofi t The approach to seismic retrofi t is the same as the approach to new design for seismic resistance. The basis of all earthquake resistance is to control and transfer lateral loads ( " sheer " ) caused by ground movement to foundations and the ground. The same details discussed above for new foundation design also apply to retrofi t. limitation-in Climate Zones 5 and higher the foil faced or plastic faced batt/roll insulation must be replaced with impermeable rigid insulation or closed cell spray polyurethane foam. Climate The approaches to seismic control are climate independent-they work in all climates. However, the approaches to environmental separation are climate dependent. Epilogue Unlike the Carole King song, these foundations do not get " hot and cold, all over, all over " ... " down to their very soul, " but I am pretty sure they are " mellow as the month of May.
