Shake Table Studies on RC and Brick Masonry Buildings
In the past, during earthquakes, numerous RC buildings had been damaged due to structural irregularity, including torsional and vertical irregularities. Irregularity in structural configuration of a building thus plays an adverse role in its seismic behaviour and has to be studied experimentally and analytically. With the state of art facility available, CSIR-SERC has
- Investigated on comparative Seismic Performance of Model RC Frames with/without Vertical Irregularity,
- Involved in development of suitable retrofitting schemes for the various structural elements and systems,
- Evaluated the performance of soft storey buildings and retrofitted brick masonry structure under seismic loading.
