Abstract: ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a seismic retrofitting system (100) for an existing earthquake-damaged structure. The system (100) comprises a structural inspection module (101) for identifying structural damage, a material assessment module (102) for determining material condition and strength, a structural and seismic analysis module (103) for evaluating seismic response, and a damage classification and vulnerability assessment module (104) for determining structural deficiencies. A retrofitting selection module (105) selects strengthening measures, while a damage repair and surface preparation module (106) prepares damaged portions. A structural strengthening and seismic retrofitting module (107) provides triangular bracing for improving lateral stability and foundation-level springs for reducing ground-motion- induced vibration transmission. A quality inspection and seismic performance evaluation module (108) evaluates structural performance after retrofitting. The system (100) provides an integrated approach for repairing and strengthening existing structures to improve seismic resistance, stability, stiffness, and structural performance. The figure associated with abstract is Fig. 1.
