The World

Earthquakes are one of the biggest life-threats in the world. The effect is immediate, with little to no warning about damage plans and the collapse of buildings/structures. Prevention of earthquake-related disasters has become more and more important in recent years. Preventing disasters involves reducing seismic risk by retrofitting existing buildings. Seismic retrofitting has now become a crucial issue. Retrofitting helps improve the structure's strength, resistivity and overall lifespan. Recent occurrences of earthquakes in various parts of the world have clearly shown the urgency of repairing deficient seismic structures. The paper summarised many past studies in the form of a seismic strengthening solution, based on the type of beam-column joints, retrofitting technology and fiber reinforced polymers (FRP).

Specific Challenge

A comprehensive database for the specific challenge of cost prediction when undertaking seismic retrofitting of existing buildings is presented. A rigorous data collection effort performed in Iran resulted in the generation of a database of 158 data points, each pertaining to a public school building with a framed structure. The generated database includes the information on the seismic retrofit cost values reflected in construction tender documents, together with the information on 14 variables envisaged to have a degree of influence on this cost. This information for a given building was carefully elicited from the final enacted documents developed through the seismic retrofit study of that particular school. Construction costs include structural costs and the costs of architecture and finishes. The database could be of value to those attempting to determine key variables that influence retrofit cost, or to those comparing retrofit practices and costs in different areas of the world.
