Many were constructed before seismic load capacity was a mandatory component of building standards, and were often built with low-quality materials or using unsafe construction practices. Many more are simply aging, with materials degrading, and steel corroding. As a result, efforts are ongoing to retrofit existing structures, and to develop new techniques for assessing and enhancing seismic load capacity in order to create a safer building infrastructure worldwide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeismic Retrofit of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings\u003c\/i\u003e provides a thorough book-length discussion of these techniques and their applications. Balancing theory and practice, the book provides engineers with a broad base of knowledge from which to approach real-world seismic assessments and retrofitting projects. It incorporates knowledge and experience frequently omitted from the building design process for a fuller account of this critical engineering subfield. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeismic Retrofit of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings\u003c\/i\u003e readers will also find: *Detailed treatment of each available strengthening technique, complete with advantages and disadvantages *In-depth guidelines to select a specific technique for a given building type and\/or engineering scenario *Step-by-step guidance through the assessment\/retrofitting process \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeismic Retrofit of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal reference for  civil and structural engineering professionals and advanced students, particularly those working in seismically active areas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45203909345431,"sku":"9781119987321","price":9227.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781119987321.webp?v=1769208884","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/seismic-retrofit-of-existing-reinforced-concrete-buildings-9781119987321","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
