: Earthquake around the world is one of the reasons liable for the damage to life and property in hefty numbers. In order to lessen such menaces, it is paramount to integrate norms that will enrich the seismic performance of the structures. Seismic waves will be influxes of energy that move through the Earth's layers, and are an aftereffect of earthquakes, volcanic emissions, enormous avalanches and huge man-made detonations that give out low-recurrence acoustic energy. Several other common and anthropogenic sources make low-plentifulness waves usually indicated as surrounding vibrations. Seismic waves are studied by geophysicists called seismologists. Seismic wave pitches are charted by a seismometer, hydrophone (in water), or accelerometer. Seismic Retrofitting is the amendment of pre-existing structures to make them more resilient to seismic movement, ground motion, or soil failure due to tremors. Seismic retrofitting is the change of prevailing structures to make them increasingly resistant to seismic movement, ground motion, or soil failure because of earthquakes. With better understanding of seismic attention on structures and with our current encounters with massive earthquakes close to urban centres, the need of seismic retrofitting is all around documented. Techniques such as RC jacketing which is addition of steel reinforcement in existing columns to increase its bearing capacity and hence protect it from seismic activity. Shear walls are constructed from the ground up to increase the seismic resistance of a building while not disturbing its aesthetic view.
