Title : Retrofitting of Building with Steel Bracings
Ponnapati Shivani Reddy, H. Sudarsana Rao
 
Abstract :

Now a days an earthquakes are more affected on concrete structures have been severely damaged or collapsed. So there is a need of to evaluate the seismic adequacy. We can’t avoid the future earthquakes but we can manage or prepare the building to safe construction, and to reduce the extent damage and loss. Earthquake is the disturbance that happens at some depth below the ground level which causes vibrations at the ground surface. A braced frame is a structural system commonly used in structures subject to lateral loads such as wind and seismic pressure. The members in a braced frame are generally made of structural steel, which can work effectively both in tension and compression. The buildings which do not designed for seismic force, may suffer extensive damage or collapse if shaken by a severe ground motion. The Pushover analysis first came practice in 1980’s, but the potential of the pushover analysis has been recognized for last two decades years. In this procedure mainly estimate the base shear and its corresponding displacement of structure. Pushover analysis is a very useful tool for the evaluation of New and existing structures.
