Seismic Retrofit of Buildings

Portal Frames, Performance-Based Plastic Design, and Detailing Techniques

About this book

Moderate to severe earthquakes can cause vast damage to buildings and their foundations, endangering the lives of residents and leading to complex and costly search, rescue, and clean-up efforts. Seismic Retrofit of Buildings provides in-demand information on state-of-the-art technology and materials that are reshaping the field, with a particular focus on prefabricated, moment-resisting steel portal frames.The book's gradual introduction of performance-based plastic design concepts primes readers for the acquisition of in-depth technical competence in the implementation of solutions that not only improve the overall safety of a structure in the event of life-threatening ground motions but also offer advantages of both cost-effective and practical resilience significance. Rehabilitation issues, specialized techniques, considerations related to aesthetic appeal, construction drawings, functional detailing, photos from real-life projects, and other practice-informed insights are all included to make up a carefully composed and balanced reference resource that is of value for audiences in both academia and industry. - Presents innovative techniques to reduce casualties in earthquake-vulnerable buildings - Elucidates plasticity and performance control principles that are well-suited for sustainable seismic design - Illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed methods for seismic retrofit of existing buildings through 3D modeling techniques and analyses, as well as real-life case studies and application examples - Each chapter follows a progressive instructional approach and concludes with supplementary questions that are a useful aid to test knowledge and/or revise
