Requirement & Challenges

Apart from their other specialized services, the client is a top choice for seismic retrofitting, engineering, and construction services. Expertizing in soft-story retrofitting, the client offers the required capabilities to provide support for a wide range of seismic retrofitting project requirements. The client required support for structural modeling, analysis with an adherence to ASCE (7-10) codes for minimum Design Loads for various buildings & structures. They wanted ETAB to be used for the analysis.

The client sent the drawings of an existing RCC Building for seismic analysis. The challenges included collecting information of the building as the drawings did not carry ample information to carry out and accurate analysis, so the team required a proper scope understanding process in place to aid the support team.

Our Solution

At Outsource2india, our adept team has been working on various analysis projects for civil, architectural, mechanical, and structural projects. We devised a strategic communication framework with the client to gather information on the building and the client supported us for the initial scope analysis and information gathering. Based on the gathered information and drawings, our team of skilled drafters conducted seismic analysis as per ASCE 7-10 codes which included dead load, live load, wall load, water tank load, machinery load, wind load, and seismic load.

The reports included analysis on reaction, forces, moments, axial loads, joint displacement, story drift, etc. The wind load and seismic load analysis was carried out in ETAB software with all the load combinations as per the ASEC 7-10 codes for maximum result.
