Current Situation and Development of Retrofitting and Performance Improvement for Existing Building Structures
China's urban development has shifted from incremental planning to inventory planning.With the goal of high quality development,retrofitting and performance improvement for existing building structures have become the main task of building sector at present or even for a quite long time.The paper introduced the developmet process from retrofitting to performance improvement of existing building structures,systematically expounded the latest research results of existing building structure reconstruction at home and abroad from three aspects:safety and seismic performance appraisal,retrofitting and performance improvement technology,and resilience evaluation.Moreover,the technical problems existing in the safety and seismic performance evaluation of existing building structures were pointed out.Finally,the future development of retrofitting and performance improvement for existing building structures was prospected.
