Concentrically Braced Frames: European vs. North American Seismic Design Provisions
A critical review of seismic design provisions for concentrically braced frames (CBFs) in both European and North American (i.e. US and Canadian) codes is presented in this paper. Indeed, even though those codes are based on capacity design philosophy, different requirements and different approaches are used to guarantee the hierarchy of resistances between dissipative and non-dissipative eleme...
متن کاملRetrofitting of Existing Rc Square Bridge Columns Using Basalt Frp Rebars
Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have been widely utilized to improve the seismic performance of deficient reinforced concrete (RC) columns. In recent years, one of the emerging types of FRPs used is basalt fibers. In this study, the performance of existing columns was experimentally examined before and after applying near-surface mounted (NSM) basalt FRP (BFRP) rebars as a retrofitting techniq...
متن کاملMulti-criteria Decision Making for Seismic Retrofitting of an Underdesigned Rc Structure
Seismic retrofitting of under-designed structures is a consolidated approach to risk management. Several options are available for the achievement of the vulnerability reduction goals, each of those having peculiar performances in respect of different technical and non-structural criteria. Selection of the best solution is a non-trivial task, because criteria may conflict each other. MultiCrite...
متن کاملAn Integrated Frp Strengthening and Damping System for Multiple Performance Level Seismic Retrofit of Rc Columns
The concept of an integrated strengthening and damping retrofit system was proposed to design reinforced concrete (RC) columns for their optimal performance under multi-level earthquake hazards. As illustrated in Figure 1, the system consisted of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets wrapping around a column and viscoelastic (VE) layers on the FRP sheets. The motion of the outer surface of the ...
متن کاملSeismic Retrofitting of Existing Shear Walls by Means of High Performance Rc Jacket
A new technique for the strengthening of existing R/C shear walls based on the application of very thin high performance jackets is presented in this paper. The strengthening jacket is made of high performance concrete and high strength steel mesh. The experimental study on a 1:3 scale R/C wall, proportioned to resist the vertical loads only, and reinforced by means of a 15 mm thick high perfor...
