Abstract:
The Objective of study is to identify efficient method of seismic upgradation of existing open ground story reinforced concrete frame building. Failure of several soft stored building in past earthquake underscores the need to retrofit existing soft-story buildings. A common cause of collapse of multistoried building is the occurrence of soft story in the ground floor. This underscores the need to retrofit existing soft story building to prevent total collapse. The existing buildings which were designed by previous codal provisions do not meet the requirement of current seismic code and design practices. Computer software STAAD Pro is used for dynamic analysis of G + 10 RCC building, of which ground storey is parking facility and is 3.5 m high while total height of building is 49.5m locating is seismic Zone 2. The RC frame is retrofitted by 3 methods,1) Brick masonry infill in ground story 2) RCC bracings in the ground story. 3) Shear wall in the Ground story.
