Advanced Design Examples of Seismic Retrofit of Structures provides insights on the problems associated with the seismic retrofitting of existing structures. 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 buildingsPresents various retrofitting methods through examplesProvides detailed, step-by-step design procedures for each exampleIncludes real retrofit projects with photos of the details of various retrofitting techniquesContains several modeling details and hints making use of various software in this area
