Introduction of Retrofitting of Buildings. There are many points which are introduced about Retrofitting of Buildings, let us discuss point by point. Some following Tests are conducted during Nondestructive Testing of Concrete. (i) Visual inspection. (ii) Rebound hammer test. with increased whole-building energy savings. Significantly more system retrofits were found in the projects with high energy savings (> 20%) than in the projects with low energy savings (< 20%) [see Figure 2, 2nd page]. Some non-system retrofit projects did achieve high energy savings—usually via installation of LEDs Large Number Seismically Deficient Buildings -Quick Assessment Method Upgradationof existing buildings is huge job and should be taken up on buildings importance basis Government alone cannot do it. Techniques of retrofitting and strengthening should be applied Techo-financing -tax exemption incentives Thank You for your patient hearing Manual on "Retrofitting of Existing Vulnerable School Buildings-Assessment to Retrofitting" Part II 4 b. Retrofitting will take relatively less construction cost with similar structural performance achievement. c. Retrofitting will involve relatively less resources, either human resources or natural resources. d. It represents an opportunity to upgrade the overall performance, sustainability and efficiency of an existing building. Seismic retrofitting is mainly done to provide existing structures with more resistance to seismic activity due to earthquake. Earthquake creates great devastation in terms of life, money and failure of structures. National Disaster Management Guidelines on Seismic Retrofitting of Deficient Buildings and Structures are formulated by NDMA, in consultation with various stakeholders, academic experts, subject specialists from across the country and officials from concerned Ministries and Departments of Government of India. traditional buildings the Level 3 Award in the energy efficiency and retrofit of traditional buildings. Whilst it is a requirement under PAS 2035 for Retrofit Assessors and Retrofit Evaluators - this means in effect Retrofit Co-ordinators as well, all those involved with retrofitting traditional buildings should obtain it. The training Concrete buildings & Structures: For concrete building we retrofit the frame components like beam, column, and foundation. Bridges: For bridges, we use modern retrofit techniques that are based on response control. It includes use of elasto-plastic dampers, friction dampers, tuned mass and tuned liquid dampers, visco-elastic dampers, lead extrusion dampers, etc. objective for retrofit public policy or for retrofit of individual buildings. Studies have shown that "typical" retrofit costs have large ranges, with coefficients of variation of about 100%, even when buildings are subdivided into fairly specific categories [Hart, 1995]. This is not unreasonable considering that existing Retrofitting of an Existing Structure: An Experimental Study Demonstrating Use of Building Information Modelling and Rating Systems for Sustainable Development By Research and Scientific Innovation Society RSIS International retrofitting is accessible, and the retrofit process only requires drilling holes 6.3. Breakage with Repair In many cases, some destructive procedures are required to access the structural component or to perform retrofit process. 6.4. Replace In cases structural components cannot be improved to meet retrofittin
