In a current scenario, very little knowledge about the seismic evaluation of structures is available in the way of guidelines for use in the existing wood framed buildings. In today discussion an attempt has been made to study the seismic performance of existing structure subjected to earthquakes force.
Earthquake is an expression of rapid release of stress waves during a brittle rupture of rock. The complexity of earthquake ground motion is primarily due to factors such as source effect, path effect, and local site effect.
Earthquake causes the ground to vibrate and structures supported on the ground are subject to this motion. Thus the dynamic loading on the structure during an earthquake is not external loading, but it’s due to the motion of support or factors contributing to the structural damage during an earthquake as vertical irregularities, irregularity in strength, and stiffness shape irregularity etc. which needs to be analyzed is required and must be retrofitted accordingly.
On one side every year a large number of wood framed structures are successfully constructed worldwide every year, and on the other side, there are large numbers of wood framed structures that deteriorate and become unsafe due to changes in loading, use, or in configuration.
With developing the technique of retrofitting means use of new and more modern systems in an existing building and choosing seismic retrofit Los Angeles and surrounding areas for this work makes this complicated task an easy and more simplified for you at when it is being offered at the lower cost.
Introduction
Retrofitting
A number of reasons may require a need for retrofitting of buildings or to retrofit existing structures. It may be the rehabilitation of structures damaged by an earthquake or other causes or the strengthening of an undamaged structure made necessary by revisions in structural design or loading codes of practice.
Earthquakes are by far the most common cause of damage to structures in earthquake-prone areas. Here, the collective term, retrofit, which implies the addition of structural components after initial construction, is applied to both rehabilitation and strengthening processes.
Each building poses a unique set of constraints and problems requiring due care in design and detailing. Ultimately, the success of any upgrading exercise depends on the quality of work at the site. During the execution of the work, many difficulties arise which may not have been anticipated during the design stage.
However, to address the sustainable building methods that can be adopted in order to retrofit of buildings, the Earthquake Retrofit Los Angeles team of Core Contractors is one of the best options to select. As Core Contractors brings four decades of experience in this industry,
