Hello Everyone,
I hope you are doing well.
What is the best book on seismic retrofitting reinforced concrete structures, preferably for Indian and US conditions (Recommendations please)?
Thank you.
Regards,
Kaustav Sengupta
You may want to look at siesmic design of concrete structures by jack mohele[not sure the spelling of his last name ]
I would like to have more recommendations on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete structures, preferably for Indian and US conditions
Dear Mr. Kaustav Sengupta,
I recommend you to read my book:
Mikayel Melkumyan. Seismic Isolation Strategies for Earthquake-Resistant Construction: Emerging Opportunities. - “Cambridge Scholars Publishing”, UK, ISBN (10): 1-5275-1802-7, ISBN (13): 978-1-5275-1802-5, 2019, 268 p.
As you may know, earthquakes are catastrophic events that cause huge economic losses due to the vulnerability of the existing building stock. However, collapses of vulnerable buildings can be avoided if preventive measures, such as enhancement of their earthquake resistance, are implemented on time. This book will allow you to become acquainted with a number of unique, modern and cost-effective seismic isolation strategies, which can be easily, and in very short periods of time, and without interruption of the use of the buildings, implemented with high efficiency in existing buildings, making them earthquake proof. An important aspect here is that the book’s seismic isolation strategies are demonstrated on real examples of existing buildings with different structural systems, such as reinforced concrete frame buildings with shear walls and stone buildings with load-bearing walls. The cost-effectiveness of the suggested strategies is further proved by comparative analyses carried out for buildings both with and without seismic isolation systems.

Thank you Prof. Mikayel Grigor Melkumyan for recommending your book. I will go through your book.
Sir, I also want your suggestions on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete structures using FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer), preferably for Indian and US conditions.
Dear Mr. Kaustav Sengupta,
I recommend you to read my paper:
Mikayel Melkumyan. Conventional and Innovative Technologies for Earthquake Retrofitting and Protection of Existing Buildings in Armenia. You can find this paper among those listed in my page of the ResearchGate
This paper includes a Chapter 4 about "First Investigations in Armenia on Seismic Retrofitting Using FRP Composite Materials".

Thank you Prof. Mikayel Grigor Melkumyan for recommending your paper. I will go through it.
I want more recommendations on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete structures using FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer), preferably for Indian and US conditions, from our ResearchGate community.
Dear Mr. Kaustav Sengupta,
I recommend you to read the following book:
J.G. Teng, J.F. Chen, S.T. Smith, L.Lam. FRP Strtengthened RC Structures. ISBN 0-471-48706-6, John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2002
