SEISMIC RETROFITTING OF AN EXISTING STRUCTURE

International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology, 2015
Retrofitting an existing building is often considered to be more cost-effective than constructing a new building. It represents an opportunity to upgrade the overall performance, sustainability and efficiency of an existing building. Seismic retrofitting is mainly done to provide existing structures with more resistance to seismic activity due to ...

Retrofitting aged masonry buildings using advanced cementitious fibre reinforced concrete material: case study and comparison to traditional methods

Sustainable Buildings
China has a large stock of existing aged buildings that can no longer meet the needs of modern life and need to be reinforced to improve their seismic resistance. Complete demolishing and rebuilding waste resources while retrofitting and reusing are more

Economical seismic retrofitting of bridges in regions of low to moderate risk of seismic activity

, 2003
The economical efficiency of friction pendulum bearings (FPB) for seismic retrofitting of typical Illinois bridges is studied. A typical bridge was carefully selected by Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for the purpose of this study.

Seismic retrofitting of bridges by response modification techniques based on altering bearing fixities

, 2005
Feasibility of a proposed seismic retrofitting technique for typical bridges in the Central US has been studied. The retrofitting technique is based on modifying the fixity conditions of the bearings for response modification purposes to eliminate the ...
