Abstract Building alterations often occur when the buildings ought to be updated meet new standards. In such processes, original values of existing tend neglected in favor speed and economic benefits from aggressive alterations. this research, we investigate mechanism architectural that respect value buildings. The research helps uncover lasting can preserved spite need for physical adjustments.

according to non-existence of accurate inspection tools on various steps of design and construction of buildings in the past, also due to any change in function of some structures and finally of seismic activities of residential regions of the country, vulnerability assessment of existing structures is necessary. evaluation of vulnerability of the structures is classified in two categories, qua...

Currently, seismic design of new European buildings follows a force-based approach, whilst the assessment of existing buildings is moving towards a displacement-based philosophy. In forcebased design, conservative estimates of the period of vibration should be produced such that the base shear force will be conservatively predicted from an acceleration spectrum, and thus the use of gross sectio...
