A Cost–Benefit Analysis Framework for City-Scale Seismic Retrofitting Scheme of Buildings
Buildings, 2023 To improve urban seismic resilience, a reasonable seismic retrofitting scheme for buildings is required. Urban cities contain a large number of buildings, making it challenging to precisely assess the seismic retrofitting benefits of each one. This paper

International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Management, 2022 In India, Multi-storied structures built are deficient of land and have to carry maximum load. Earthquake could be a circumstance which might result in the failure of the structure. Buildings are to be created so that they are safe to live in and the structure before failure should possess ductile property.
