Design and analysis of seismic retrofitting of building
Earthquakes are a crucial problem worldwide since it leads to disastrous damages such as failure and collapse of buildings, loss of human lives, and loss of homes. In addition, earthquakes lead to a massive economy including loss of built structures and recovery costs of damaged buildings and infrastructure. In addition, the earth consists of three layers; the first one is the crust layer which is the surface of the earth, the second one is the mantle layer which is the second inner part of the earth, and last one the core layer which is the most inner part of the earth, When the surface of the earth creates a sudden movement, this in turns creates an earthquake, and strain energy is released causing the seismic waves through the crust.
