In the past, facilities considered to be at the end of their useful life were demolished
and replaced with new ones that better met the functional requirements of In the past,
facilities considered to be at the end of their useful life were demolished and replaced
with new ones that better met the functional requirements of modern society, including
new safety standards. Humankind has recently recognised the threats to the environment
and to our limited natural resources due to our relentless determination to destroy
the old and build anew. With the awareness of these constraints and the emphasis on
sustainability, in future the majority of old structures will be retrofitted to extend
their service life as long as feasible. In keeping with this new approach, the EU's
Construction Products Regulation 305/2011, which is the basis of the Eurocodes, included
the sustainable use of resources as an "Essential Requirement" for construction. So,
the forthcoming second generation of EN-Eurocodes will cover not only the design of
new structures, but the rehabilitation of existing ones as well. Most of the existing
building stock and civil infrastructures are seismically deficient. When the time
comes for a decision to prolong their service life with the help of structural and
architectural upgrading, seismic retrofitting may be needed. Further, it is often
decided to enhance the earthquake resistance of facilities that still meet their functional
requirements and fulfil their purpose, if they are not earthquake-safe. In order to
decide how badly a structure needs seismic upgrading or to prioritise it in a population
of structures, a seismic evaluation is needed, which also serves as a guide for the
extent and type of strengthening. Seismic codes do not sufficiently cover the delicate
phase of seismic evaluation nor the many potential technical options for seismic upgrading;
therefore research is on-going and the state-of-the-art is constantly evolving. All
the more so as seismic evaluation and rehabilitation demand considerable expertise,
to make best use of the available safety margins in the existing structure, to adapt
the engineering capabilities and techniques at hand to the particularities of a project,
to minimise disruption of use, etc. Further, as old structures are very diverse in
terms of their materials and layout, seismic retrofitting does not lend itself to
straightforward codified procedures or cook-book approaches. As such, seismic evaluation
and rehabilitation need the best that the current state-of-the-art can offer on all
aspects of earthquake engineering. This volume serves this need, as it gathers the
most recent research of top seismic experts from around the world on seismic evaluation,
retrofitting and closely related subjects. -- [Source inconnue]
