Analysis and Design of Multi-Story Building Rettrofitted with Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer

The paper reports the analytical investigation in Multi-storey building located in seismic zone III. This zone is considered as moderate-damage risk zone as per Indian Codal provision and thirty percent of India falls in this category. To improve the seismic performance, externally bonded FRP strengthening techniques are adopted to deficient beam and columns, in this paper, the analysis of building is carried out with and without lateral resisting system (Shear wall) and retrofitting is done by wrapping the deficient beams and column using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP sheet) to evaluate the performance of upgraded structural element.
