The authors present various international case studies of seismic retrofitting projects and the different possible strategies on how to handle complex problems encountered. Users will find tactics on a variety of problems that are commonly faced, including problems faced by engineers and authorities who have little or no experience in the practice of seismic retrofitting.
- Provides several examples of retrofitting projects that cover different structural systems, from non-engineered houses, to frame buildings
- Presents various retrofitting methods through examples
- Provides detailed, step-by-step design procedures for each example
- Includes real retrofit projects with photos of the details of various retrofitting techniques
- Contains several modeling details and hints making use of various software in this area
