ICE (Delhi) has invited Bhavin Shah to deliver expert talk on the above mentioned subject.
About the Technical Talk:
India has already witnessed devastating earthquakes in past and may experience even higher intensity earthquakes in the future. Also, Indian Standard codes related to earthquake resistant design are getting revised to align with the global design practices gradually. With these, there is a huge requirement for retrofitting of the existing structures related to earthquake resistant design. In the session, we will discuss briefly overall methodology for seismic assessment of the existing structures as per IS 15988:2013 and will explore usage of the Buckling Restrained Braces (BRB) for the same. The session will cover brief history of BRB, key advantages, limitations, design methodology, etc.
Organised by : Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Local Association Delhi.
Date : 29th August, 2020
