Abstract
Provided is a retrofitting structure for existing building that does not require the addition of a foundation specific to the retrofitting structure, can implement seismic retrofitting at any floors only of the existing building, and hardly causes a large drawing force resulting from eccentric bending moment that may act on the seismic retrofitting structure. A retrofitting structurefor existing building includes: a reinforcing frameincluding a frame memberand a vibration control memberinterposed in the frame member, the reinforcing frame being provided on an outer wall surface of an existing building B having an overhang T on the outer wall surface so as to surround the overhang T; and a vertical truss memberand a horizontal truss memberconfigured to couple the reinforcing frameand the outer wall surface.
