Summary

This course deals with the complex problem of seismic evaluation of existing structures; by far more complicated than for new structures. Aims are to: - show how and why the analysis methods need improvements to be used in this context. - provide an insight of the different retrofitting methods.

Content

• Particularity of existing structures in seismic context
  
• Vulnerability and seismic evaluation
  
• Analysis methods
  
• Strength and displacement based evaluation
  
• Retrofitting methods (design and technology)
