Seismic Analysis of a Mid-Rise Existing Building for Retrofication using Analysis Tool Staad.Pro

As India is suffering from drastic population increament these days thus to settle this population we need to built high rise structures and shelters which should be design for both economical aspect as well as for stability aspect as per specific and safe loading conditions. Seismic Analysis is a must part of load analysis in these days due to non-homogeneous climatic and environmental conditions where sudden impactment of lateral forces may arise. Not only new structures even old structure should be checked once for such loading conditions to provide safety to the population. In this study we will analyze an old structure for seismic design using retrofitting technique. For this study we will use analysis tool staad.pro and for determining present strength N.D.T technique must be used. In this study it is concluded that with the technique of retrofitting, stability of a structure can be regained without dismantling the structure using strengthening supportive members.
