Abstract

A method for reinforcing building structures so they may withstand strong winds. The method involves installing vertical tie rods to bolts anchored in the foundation of the building structure. The rods tie the horizontal beams, such as ceiling joists of the building structure, to the anchor bolts through nuts and washers secured to the removed end of the anchored tie rod.
