Retrofitting of Structure

This document outlines the units of study for a course on retrofitting structures. The units cover terminology and principles of seismic evaluation and retrofitting, local and global retrofitting methods for reinforced concrete buildings, repair of structures including concrete and underwater structures, retrofitting damaged reinforced concrete buildings, quantitative seismic evaluation methods like pushover analysis, and health monitoring of structures using sensors and inspections. The textbooks listed provide information on maintenance, repair, and seismic evaluation and retrofitting of concrete buildings.
