EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report has completed seismic retrofit design of the Madina Madarsa Masjid Pra.
Parishad Building Butwal, Rupandehi. The purpose of this study is to assess retrofitted
building to check the structural safety of the buildings satisfying code specified
requirements. Since the building was constructed 12 years ago and the serviceable life
period of the building is 38 years. Therefore, it is important to note that the assessment was
done for the probable safety of the building for seismic for the next 38 years. Similarly, this
assessment was to check the existing building capacity to withstand the additional floor.
The field inspection includes visual inspection, communication with contractor and use of
old photographs to understand and verify the structural details and material qualities
to some extent and communication with
client/contractor. In case of justification of the any material quantity and quality the
contractor/client is solely responsible for the verification and justification of the material
quantity and quality.
From the as build detail seismic assessment of the building it came to conclusion that, after the
retrofit the drift is within the limit as per the NBC permissible limit for both the U.L.S. and
DRAFT
S.L.S. All the columns satisfy the P.M.M capacity limit of the column. Similarly, all the beams
satisfy the shear and flexure demand. The shear demand of the beam is consider taking bother
the stirrups and concrete capacity. The building does comply the strong column weak beam
concept. This has resulted in adequate structural strength of the building against the impending
large earthquake in Nepal.
Non-linear static (pushover analysis) was carried out to check the performance of the retrofitted
building. The hinges were relocated primarily from columns, beams. By jacketing some
column from the demand of pushover analysis was sufficient to withstand the seismic demands.
This system improves the seismic response of existing structure as required by earthquake
design consideration. The intensity of damage to the building was significantly reduced with
the implementation of proposed intervention option. The retrofitting has upgraded the building
structure to Life Safety (LS) level at the design earthquake shaking.
Therefore, it concludes that the building will sustain the additional floor in total (4 Story)
for the probable life safety of the building for the next 38 years.

U.L.S. and S.L.S. Maximum no. of columns satisfied the P.M.M capacity limit of the column.
Similarly maximum number of beams satisfied the shear and flexure demand. The building
also complies the strong column weak beam concept.
This report presents outcomes from the retrofit design. It has been organized in five sections.
Section 1 provides introduction, objectives, scope, and limitations. Section 2 describes the
general design and assumptions for existing building, and the section 3 summarized the results,
outcomes and recommendations of the report followed by the references.
DRAFT
In addition, this report also includes six annexes that provide supporting information on issues
discussed in the main chapters. These include, Annex I Slab Check, Annex II Photographs,
Annex III Seismic Retrofitting Architectural/structural drawings.
1.4 METHODOLOGY
The overall methodology adopted for this study is as follows:
1. Evaluation of general earthquake performance of the building. The building
performance is evaluated based on the available fragility functions developed in Nepal
Building Code and IS 15988:2013.
1.5 LIMITATIONS
The study is carried out mainly by reviewing of available as-built architectural drawings and
field inspection of the building. The field inspection includes visual inspection, communication
with contractor and use of old photographs to understand and verify the structural details and
material qualities to some extent. In case of justification of the any material quantity and quality
the contractor/client are solely responsible to justify any required data. Therefore, verification
of the quality and quantity of the structure material and structural component is necessary as a
prerequisite to justify and adopted this report conclusions. Also, other structure system like
foundation still needs to be checked and conformation is still required for its adequacy.
As it was not possible to test all structural elements of building during assessment, there exist
some uncertainties in assumption of material properties, geometry as well as detailing in this
building as well. The foundation of building was not inspected during the field visit due to site
constraint.
All possible efforts were carried out to extract the exact information under the given
circumstances. So, neither nor Civil-Era Engineering Pvt. Ltd. and its staffs make any warranty,
expressed or implied, nor assumes any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness ore
usefulness of the statement made in this report.

CHAPTER 3. SEISMIC EVALUATION
The four-storey building are modeled in ETABS 2019 produced by CSI, California Berkeley.
The model is as per actual dimension available in the existing drawing and site verification.
ETABS is Finite Element based tool which analyzes the structure from the connectivity of
joints, frames, shells and defined meshing. The structural members i.e., column and beams are
modeled as a frame member in ETABS with node-to-node connectivity. Shear walls and slabs
are modeled as a thin-shell element with defined meshing size.
Actual sizes of structural components their sizes, rebars area are checked at the site then
modeled, evaluated and calculated as per the code criteria. Seismic load is considered only in
the horizontal direction (along the two principal directions) since seismic load is not significant
in vertical direction. The seismic design force has been applied and automatically distributed
by the software at various floor levels. Rigid floor diaphragms are provided with reinforced
concrete solid slabs. The building response in terms of story drift and displacement were
DRAFT
calculated using the software and were checked as per IS provision.
Limit State Method is based on safety and serviceability requirements associated with the
design loads and design strengths of the materials. These design loads and design strengths are
obtained by applying partial safety factors for characteristic loads and strengths of the materials
such as concrete and steel.
No section modifier was used for the shear property of the structural members.

GENERAL
To assure the performance of the building within life safety, non-linear statics pushover
analysis was performed in retrofitted building. Pushover analysis was performed by subjecting
a structure to a monotonically increasing pattern of lateral forces, representing the inertial
forces which would be experienced by the structure when subjected to ground shaking. Under
incrementally increasing loads various structural elements yield and hinges are formed
sequentially. Consequently, at each event the structure suffers a loss in stiffness. Using a
pushover analysis, a characteristics non-linear force-displacement can be chosen. Typically,
the first pushover load case is used to apply gravity load and the subsequent lateral pushover
load cases are specified to start from the final condition of the gravity.
Hinge formation in retrofitted structure at performance point and ultimate point has been shown
in figure has been shown in and respectively.
For calculating the performance point as per the capacity spectrum method as per FEMA 440,
the demand spectrum definition can be defined by either entering the function plot itself or

From push over analysis, the structure performance level is life safety which was achieved by
column jacketing as shown above.
The effective time-period:
(After Retrofit)
For the X direction was calculated as 1.107 s, which occurred between step 4 and 5 in the pushover
process.
For the Y direction was calculated as 1.308s, which occurred between step 6 and 7 in the pushover
process.

CHAPTER 4. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The building is assessed at the site followed by the analytical modeling using finite element
software. Based on the available information about the building, the architectural and
structural information obtained from field visit, implementation of limited number of non-
destructive tests and manual calculations based on codes and guidelines following
conclusion has been drawn:
i. The building was linear also analyzed the pushover analysis was performed which
conclude that the structure members (Beam, column) can withstand in total the four-
story building.
ii. The nonlinear pushover analysis shows that the retrofitted building structure
performance is within the Life Safety (LS) limit for both the global and local level.
iii. The building drift are within the code limit for both ULS and SLS.
iv. For the design the slab depth of 5” is sufficient.
v. The building supports the strong column weak beam concepts as the column/beam
ratios are more than 1.2.
vi. Therefore, it concludes that the building will sustain the additional floor in total
(4 Story) for the probable life safety of the building for the next 38 years.
