Seismic Retrofitting Techniques for Existing Masonry Buildings
Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2011 In many seismically active regions of the world there are large numbers of masonry buildings. Most of these buildings have not been designed for seismic loads. Recent earthquakes have shown that many of these buildings are seismically vulnerable and should be considered for retrofitting. Different conventional and unconventional retrofitting techniques
