Seismic Retrofitting and Load Enhancement
Overview
CARE EPC provides specialized seismic retrofitting and load enhancement solutions to strengthen existing structures against earthquakes and increased operational demands — ensuring resilience, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Seismic Retrofitting and Load Enhancement
CARE EPC provides expert seismic retrofitting and load enhancement services for existing buildings, process plants, and industrial structures. Our approach follows international standards such as FEMA, ASCE 41, and Eurocode 8 to improve seismic resilience, ductility, and load-bearing capacity.
We conduct detailed structural assessments and dynamic analysis to identify deficiencies and design strengthening measures tailored to each facility’s geometry, loading, and environmental conditions. Our team employs advanced retrofitting techniques including jacketing, FRP wrapping, steel bracing, base isolation, and section enlargement to enhance stiffness, energy dissipation, and overall stability under both static and seismic loads.
Our Key Services Include:
- Seismic vulnerability assessment and modeling
- Design and implementation of strengthening systems
- FRP wrapping, column jacketing, and steel bracing
- Base isolation and vibration mitigation systems
- Load enhancement and section enlargement design
Compliance Standards
All retrofitting and load enhancement projects are designed and executed in compliance with FEMA, ASCE 41, and Eurocode 8 to ensure performance-based safety, resilience, and life protection under seismic and dynamic conditions.
