Retrofitting significantly enhances structural integrity, reducing lateral displacements and improving seismic resistance.
Base shear capacity and lateral displacement were evaluated using numerical modeling with ETABS software in the analysis.
Assessment included soil-structure interaction effects, revealing seismic loading impacts on soil bearing capacity.
Recommendations call for regular monitoring and considering soil stabilization for improved long-term resilience.
