Date: April 4, 2004
Structure: Brick Masonry, Legal Aid Society of Cleveland
Contractor: Geotech Services, Inc.
Engineer: Shaw & Associates
Material Used: Fortress Carbon/Kevlar grid straps.

Project Scope:
Renovations to current building would add significant loading to existing unreinforced masonry units and compromise shear capability.

Observations:
The use of Fortress Carbon Kevlar Grid straps allowed for a very fast procedure that achieved scope and allowed for original design room space.
