- Abstract
This paper presents a synthesis of current practices in regard to the seismic analysis, design, and retrofit of built-environments. Background information on the behavior of existing buildings subjected to earthquake loadings is gathered and rehabilitation methodologies are elaborated. The first part of the review examines design standards and guidelines that are used in the structural engineering community. These documents are mandatory for the legal adoption of a model code by the governing jurisdiction where the building in question is to be located. The second part discusses retrofit procedures alongside specific provisions dominating the requirements and techniques appertaining to ground motions. The third part handles case studies emphasizing an upgrade of school buildings that are non-conforming to contemporary specifications and guidelines. For substantiating the performance of proposed methodologies, laboratory tests are conducted in conjunction with finite element analysis, which form the technical foundation of site implementations.
