Abstract

Building seismic wellbeing is a need-based methodology planned for improving the nature of
any potential quake framework. Diverse size tremors have happened in India in the ongoing past, making
broad harm to life and property. In basic fixes, seismic reinforcement, and retrofitting of existing structures,
regardless of whether harmed or intact, some as of late created materials and procedures can assume an
essential job. The essential worry of a structural engineer is to effectively reestablish the structures as fast as
could reasonably be expected. The choice of the correct materials, methods, and techniques to be utilized for
the fix of a given structure have been a significant test. Imaginative procedures of the structural repairs have
numerous focal points over ordinary methods. A few rules with respect to the choice of materials for
strengthening work, for example, steel, fiber-fortified polymer, have been talked about in the current paper.
The choice of materials and procedures to be utilized relies upon numerous viewpoints that might be seen
from alternate points of view i.e., necessity and accessibility of monetary assets, pertinence, and
reasonableness of materials for the fix of harmed structures. The utilization of standard and inventive repair
materials, suitable innovation, workmanship, and quality control during execution are the key elements for
an effective repair, reinforcing, and rebuilding of harmed structures. In this paper, a far-reaching audit of
strategies and methods utilized for seismic retrofitting of RC structures is talked about quickly. At long last,
general finishing up comments are made alongside conceivable future bearing of examination
