        CHECK LIST


    Determine appropriate methods for analyzing and evaluating structures for retrofitting require that Structural information is collected. According to information collected at this stage of the overall approach for retrofitting structures to give expert. Thus, all structural and non-structural components in a glimpse of the questions to be studied and ultimately with the percentage rating the vulnerability to be determined.In some cases the information can be obtained at this stage to determine the performance level of the current structure and its ultimate performance level can be selected . Therefore a comprehensive review from behavior of structures is needed the perfect studies and tests on structural. In this post trying according to the retrofit projects of training centers, check list has been developed from all properties of building that usage for gathering the information from the Qualitative and quantitative data of structure for retrofit studies.
