      abstract = {This book details the analysis and design of high rise  buildings for gravity and seismic analysis. It provides the  knowledge structural engineers need to retrofit existing  structures in order to meet safety requirements and better  prevent potential damage from such disasters as earthquakes  and fires. Coverage includes actual case studies of  existing buildings, reviews of current knowledge for  damages and their mitigation, protective design  technologies, and analytical and computational techniques.  This monograph also provides an experimental investigation  on the properties of fiber reinforced concrete that  consists of natural fibres like coconut coir and also steel  fibres that are used for comparison in both Normal Strength  Concrete (NSC) and High Strength Concrete (HSC). In  addition, the authors examine the use of various repair  techniques for damaged high rise buildings. The book will  help upcoming structural design engineers learn the  computer aided analysis and design of real existing high  rise buildings by using ACI code for application of the  gravity loads, UBC- 97 for seismic analysis, and  retrofitting analysis by computer models. It will be of  immense use to the student community, academicians,  consultants, and practicing professional engineers and  scientists involved in the planning, design, execution,  inspection, and supervision for the proper retrofitting of  buildings.},
