Zusammenfassung:	A metal frame assembly for seismic retrofitting of soft story buildings comprising a pair of half frame subassemblies. Each subassembly comprises front and rear steel column portions and front and rear steel beam portions. The column portions are configured to extend about and substantially encase the existing column of a wooden frame. The front and rear beam portions are secured to and carried by upper portions of the column portions in each subassembly and extend therefrom parallel to and laterally spaced from opposed sides of the beam in the wooden frame. Connector plates are provided in each subassembly securing together the front beam and column portions to the rear beam and column portions and the front and rear column and beam portions to the beam of the wooden frame.
