Methods for seismic strengthening of buildings
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop guidance for engineers to use in strengthening buildings found to be deficient in seismic resistance. The guidance is intended to serve as the basis for criteria for determining the suitability of specific strengthening schemes for a building and for the application of specific strengthening methods.
