Seismic assessment of existing RC buildings before and after shear-wall retrofitting

Blog Article

The existing reinforced concrete Security (RC) buildings are analysed in the paper before and after shear-wall retrofitting.For numerical application, an existing RC building was selected and retrofitted with shear walls.Incremental dynamic analyses and static pushover analysis of these buildings were performed using Ski de fond - Accessoires - Sac a botte the distributed plastic hinge approach.

The results show that seismic retrofitting with shear walls increases rigidity and capacity of the building, while decreasing lateral displacements and damage.
