NRCC Guideline for Seismic Upgrading of Building Structures
Author: D.E. Allen et al | Size: 2.3 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: NRCC | Year: Dec. 1995 | pages: 54 | ISBN: ISBN 0-660-16262-8
This Guideline provides information and advice on the seismic upgrading of existing building structures, and is intended for use by qualified structural engineers. It is a companion document to the recently published Guidelines for Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings l and the Manualfor Screening of Buildings for Seismic Investigation,2 both of which are related to the National Building Code of Canada. 3 The Guideline describes conventional techniques of seismic upgrading of building structures and discusses their relative merits based on the objectives of seismic upgrading and the principal considerations in their choice and design. It also describes innovative seismic upgrading techniques such as supplementary damping and contains references to more detailed information on such techniques. It does not include techniques for upgrading of non-structural building components
