Seismic Retrofitting Project — Project Topics for Civil Engineering
Seismic retrofitting improves earthquake resistance of existing buildings. Projects combine vulnerability assessment, retrofit scheme selection and comparative analysis in ETABS or SAP2000 against IS 1893 and related standards.
Typical stack: ETABS, SAP2000, STAAD.Pro, IS 1893 and related Indian standards.
