However, these open ground storey buildings become first victims during earthquake ground shaking. The same is evident from the collapse and huge damage in ground story columns during past earthquake events. This led to a huge loss of life and property. Hence, there is an urgent need to take up retrofit activities of open ground storey buildings. There were some instances where retrofit activities were taken up on open ground story buildings. However, the performance of the building was not tested after ground storey retrofit. To build confidence among the general public, there is a need to demonstrate that the retrofitted buildings not only save lives but also resist earthquake with minimum damage. This paper is an attempt to demonstrate the same. In this paper, a case study of G+5 open ground storey building has b Full paper: pdf Centre for Earthquake Engineering |
