Abstract
Seismic evaluation has been a matter of concern for engineers since long. The structures constructed earlier have to be evaluated to check whether or not they meet the required seismic demands. Seismic evaluation is necessary to check any strengthening measures (retrofitting) required in the structure. The aim of this paper is to present the seismic evaluation report of a very old hospital in the Srinagar city. In addition some suitable retrofitting measures have been suggested so as to strengthen the hospital building and make it functional. There is a need to evaluate every such important structure that has got damaged overtime due to unexpected loads or natural disasters.
Keywords: Seismic retrofit, seismic evaluation, base shear, shear walls, unreinforced masonry, hazard assessment, Vulnerability
