Abstract
The objective of the current research is to ascertain the earthquake load bearing capability of a structure and, as a result, to increase that capacity by making certain suitable retrofitting arrangements. The Non-Linear Static Pushover analysis approach, a performance-based seismic engineering technique, has been applied successfully in this context. Using SAP2000, a product of Computers and Structures International, the pushover analysis was conducted. A total of 28 instances for a specific six-story structure in Zone-IV have been examined, taking into account the retrofitting of various structural components, such as beams and columns, in various combinations and at various storey levels. The retrofitting is carried out starting from the lowest story and working its way up. Every story level's reaction from the building to each scenario is noted.
