There are a variety of methods for retrofitting buildings available to engineers. A summary list can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_retrofit Retrofitting is extremely important as many of the high-rise and large population capacity buildings that were built early in the 20th century, were built prior to the adoption of building codes which account for multiple load conditions. Multiple load conditions were established to determine a "worst case scenario" for structural loading. This helps ensure that a building will survive a loading situation that would otherwise cause the building to fail. As such, retrofitting becomes the sole method of ensuring that pre-code buildings are brought up to code to ensure the safety of their occupants.

Retrofitting means to add/change/rearrange something from its original form . For example if someone paints a car they retrofitted it or if someone adds patches to their favorite pants, they have retrofitted that piece of clothing.
