"The buildings affected by earthquake may suffer both non-structural and structural damages. This standard lays down guidelines for non-structural/architectural as well as structural repairs, seismic strengthening and seismic retrofitting of existing buildings. Guidelines have been given for selection of materials for repair work such as cement, steel, epoxy resins, epoxy mortar, quick setting cement mortar and special techniques such as shotcrete, mechanical anchorage etc. Seismic strengthening techniques for the modification of roots or floors, inserting new walls, strengthening existing walls, masonry arches, random rubble masonry walls, strengthening long walls, strengthening reinforced concrete members and strengthening of foundations. Building codes generally are intended to be applied by architects and engineers but also are used for various purposes by safety Inspectors, environmental scientists, real estate developers, contractors and subcontractors, manufacturers of building products and materials, Insurance companies, facility managers, tenants, and others. Most of the existing seismic design codes are based on the empirical knowledge accumulated through systematic earthquake damage data collection and their analysis. Required levels of protection and seismic design forces gradually are increased after each series of catastrophic earthquakes particularly in developed countries. Many efforts have been made through experimental and analytical studies to improve detailing and to increase inelastic capacity of buildings and structures to resist earthquake ground motions with acceptable damage levels. The general believe was that empirically developed seismic design codes contain performance objectives, but usually in a descriptive form that cannot be quantified and that explicit code design for He safety provides adequate damage protection. This book Earthquake resistant design consists of an evaluation of the earthquake excitation and the structure response to this excitation at a particular site in order to provide a structural System that will not collapse, that may prevent loss of life and will limit economic loss during an earthquake."--Back cover
