Blog: Ezsystemspdx.com SEISMIC RETROFITTING TECHNIQUES USED FOR CONCRETE STRUCTURES Seismic retrofitting methods are needed to concrete constructions that are prone to get damaged by seismic forces. When earthquakes take place, the events lead to damage in the concrete structure and failures. The main objective is to focus on some specific process that can enhance the practice for estimation of seismic susceptibility of the existing RCC constructed buildings. Portland seismic retrofit is a combination of several mitigation methods and it is important for those buildings that are important like monuments and expensive structures which must be given tips for earthquake preparedness. Earthquake creates devastation in life, money and buildings. If the buildings can be upgraded as per the earthquake safety, they can become much more resistant to the any kind of seismic activity which is of utmost significance. The earthquake preparedness of Portland buildings can ensure their long lasting life and being vulnerable to the earthquake. Retrofitting acts as a better economic consideration and provides immediate shelter to the issues which can be better than replacement of building. Seismic Retrofitting in concrete structures is the amendment of existing structures that makes them much more resistant to the seismic activities and failures that can lead to earthquakes. These retrofit methods are also used in any other kinds of natural hazards like in tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and cyclones. In order to make sure that these buildings are ensured, it is important to reduce the hazard and losses that can reduce the hazard from any non-structural elements. They are concerned with the structural improvement which can diminish the seismic hazard for important buildings.
