Strengthening of a 2-storey industrial building with short columns

This section showcases complete structural models, categorized by the software used for their development (SeismoBuild or SeismoStruct). You can download the project files for each model and open them directly in the corresponding software on your computer to explore the modeling process, parameter settings, and analysis results firsthand.

This is a case study of the model of an existing 2-storey industrial building with short columns. The building is retrofitted with two different strengthening methods: (1) RC Jackets, (2) New Shear Walls. The SeismoBuild project files, for both the existing and retrofitted buildings, are provided for the Nonlinear Static Procedure NSP with pushover analysis. The models have been created by Seismosoft.
