Many existing buildings do not meet the seismic strength requirement. The need for seismic retrofitting in existing building can arise due to any of the following reasons:
1) building not designed to code.
2) subsequent updating of code and design practice.
3) subsequent upgrading of seismic zone.
4) deterioration of strength and aging.
5) modification of existing structure.
6) change in use of the building, etc.
In India, almost 85% of total buildings are nonengineered buildings made up of earthen walls, stone walls, brick masonry walls, etc.

This Handbook has been envisaged to address this serious and widespread problem of seismic vulnerability of buildings. The Handbook covers the seismic retrofitting of both engineered and non-engineered buildings.
