US FEMA standards - the most relevant guide is FEMA Techniques for the Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings, 547 (2006 Edition) is a comprehensive guide to earthquake strengthening in relation to the FEMA model building types. Each chapter provides a description of the model building type, the seismic response characteristics, common seismic deficiencies and applicable rehabilitation techniques. As an example, the following detailed techniques are outlined for Building Type URM: Unreinforced Masonry (URM) Bearing Walls:

- Brace or remove URM parapets.
- Add wall to diaphragm ties.
- Add reinforced cores to URM walls.
- Add concrete overlay to masonry wall.
- Add fibre-reinforced polymer overlay to masonry wall.
- Infill opening in a URM wall.
- Add concrete or masonry shear wall (connected to a wood diaphragm).
- Add steel moment frame (connected to a wood diaphragm)
- Add or enhance cross walls.
- Add supplemental vertical support for truss or girder.
- Add veneer ties in a URM wall.
