Seismic Performance Of Strengthening Measures For Open Ground Storey Buildings

Abstract

This Review Paper Is Prepared For A Comparative Study Of Strengthening Measures Adopted For Open Ground Storey Buildings By Studying Previously Published Research Papers. Selected Papers Covering An Area Of Study Like Seismic Performance Of Multi-storeyed Buildings Having Open Ground Storey By Retrofitting With Lateral Load Resisting Systems Like Moment Resisting Frames, Shear Walls For Different Storeys At Different Locations, Concentric And Eccentric Bracings For Different Storeys At Different Locations, Stiffer Columns, Tapered Columns, Light Weight Infill Walls, Addition Of Columns In Open Ground Storey, Providing Masonry Infill Walls In Open Ground Storey, Replacing Rectangular Columns By Circular Columns In Open Ground Storey Etc. The Seismic Performance Is Evaluated In Terms Of Seismic Parameters Like Lateral Storey Stiffness, Storey Displacements, Storey Drifts, Base Shears, Torsion Eccentricity, Overturning Moments, And Time Periods.
