Retrofitting technique effectiveness and seismic performance of...
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a retrofitting technique based on the seismic performance analysis results comparison between two inactive multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) buildings for a long period.
Structural Retrofitting of Buildings: A Case Study
The paper follows a casestudy approach for assessing the technical and environmental performances of structural options for old building retrofitting works. All structural options were analyzed through the results of several categories of environmental impact.
Project Case Study: Empire State Building - RMI
The energy efficiency retrofit of the Empire State Building is a great story—one that illustrates the results possible through leveraging the deep retrofit
(PDF) Case Study: Retrofitting of an Existing Residential ...
In this paper, an effort has been made to retrofit an existing residential G+III storied building using exterior shear wall. Shear wall are installed in parallel to the building's exterior sides....
Seismic Retrofit of Existing Multi-Storeyed Buildings in ...
The local retrofit strategies of column, beam, beam-to-column joint, wall and foundation strengthening are reviewed. Under global retrofit strategies, the addition of infill walls, shear walls and steel braces, and the reduction of the building irregularities are mentioned. A detailed case study is reported. In the
Building America Best Practices Series Case Study: Consortium ...
As part of this demonstration project, Building America paid for design planning and analysis, and the homeowner paid for all retrofit costs. (His budget in 2005 costs was $85,000.) Rainwater collecting next to a home’s foundation can impact the structural integrity of the home.
Seismic analysis, design, and retrofit of built-environments ...
This paper presents a synthesis of current practices in regard to the seismic analysis, design, and retrofit of built-environments. Background information on the behavior of existing buildings subjected to earthquake loadings is gathered and rehabilitation methodologies are elaborated.
Existing building retrofits: Methodology and state-of-the-art
A systematic approach to proper selection of the best retrofit options is proposed. The generic building retrofit problem is presented. Key issues involved in building retrofit investment decisions are discussed. We review the previous studies on existing building retrofits.
Analysis of Seismic Retrofitting in Heritage Buildings ...
This paper studies the various aspects of seismic retrofitting of heritage buildings, new techniques being evolved worldwide, and also discusses preservation issues and scenarios of heritage ...
Optimal seismic retrofitting of existing buildings ...
Several decision assessments are conducted, using the MCDM framework, each considering a subset of 13 possible DVs, including EI, to select an optimal retrofitting alternative. The results of the MCDM assessment and their implications are discussed in detail.
