  Author(s): Ehsan Noroozinejad*
  
  Structural upgrades are vital to ensure the safety, durability and performance of existing buildings. When it comes to retrofitting, steel is often the material of choice due to its high strength, ductility and versatility. However, selecting the most suitable steel retrofitting method requires careful evaluation and assessment. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the evaluation and assessment process for steel retrofitting methods in structural upgrades. When evaluating and assessing steel retrofitting methods for structural upgrades, there are several factors to consider. These factors include the specific goals of the retrofit, the structural condition and limitations of the existing building, the expected performance requirements, the budget and time constraints and the availability of resources and expertise...
