Seismic retrofitting of  existing structures is one of the most effective methods of reducing this risk. However,  the seismic performance of the structure may not be improved by retrofitting or  rehabilitation unless the engineer selects an appropriate intervention technique based on seismic  evaluation of the structure. Current codes (BCP 2007) do not address the evaluation of  seismic resistance of existing building stock, not designed in accordance with the  philosophies of current seismic provisions. The primary purpose of this book is to carry seismic  evaluation of buildings in the capital city of Pakistan, Islamabad and propose  guidelines for Building Code of Pakistan. Owing to importance of the subject, various  organizations in the earthquake threatened countries have come up with documents, which serve  as guidelines for the assessment of the strength, expected performance and safety of  existing buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844320749\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA CASE STUDY\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844320749","offer_id":39470105657437,"sku":"9783844320749","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/bd44e4ac-e208-43b0-9b1f-682d3c9f3b8a.jpg?v=1776489543","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/seismic-vulnerability-assessment-of-rc-buildings-von-engr-m-hamza-saeed-virk-und-raja-rizwan-hussain","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
