State-of-the-art technical guidelines for seismic assessment, retrofit and rehabilitation have been published around the world вЂ“ such as the ASCE-SEI 41 and the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE)'s guidelines. In view of the imminent problem, various research work has been carried out. Prior to the introduction of modern seismic codes in the late 1960s for developed countries and late 1970s for many other parts of the world, many structures were designed without adequate detailing and reinforcement for seismic protection. With better understanding of seismic demand on structures and with our recent experiences with large earthquakes near urban centers, the need of seismic retrofitting is well acknowledged. Seismic retrofitting is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion, or soil failure due to earthquakes.

List of structural engineering software.

The Prodesk module enables data exchange between Autodesk Revit and PROKON. It supports data exchange formats with third-party software: DXF and DWG drawings, and CIS/2 CIMsteel three-dimensional structural models. PROKON uses a workflow that output data between analysis, design and detailing modules. PROKON appears on the Hong Kong Building Department list of pre-accepted computer programs for use in Hong Kong.
