A Characteristic Seismic Study and Development of Earthquake Resistant Techniques in Existing Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The characteristic methods involved in underpinning construction are studied in this research. The analysis of the structure is performed with respect to the geotechnical risk and possible retrofitting techniques. In the past several decades, a number of studies mainly focused on base isolation techniques to preserve the structure, but the merits of underpinning technique, geotechnical risk involved, temporary support for safety measures and cost ratio induced were unexpressed. The second generation of research evaluates the measure to reduce ground risk with characterization methods and detailed quality check through construction management system. Current research has pointed out the crucial features of underpinning construction process and its scope in restricted locations and geotechnical perils.
