Seismic retrofitting of damaged exterior beam–column joints using fibre reinforced plastic composite–steel plate combined technique

摘要: A conventional gravity load design philosophy for reinforced concrete (RC) structures has been slowly replaced by seismic since the 1970s. But, till recently, capacity and ductile detailing were not strictly implemented in practice many developing countries which are prone to hazard. In present study, performance of exterior beam–column joints designed based on non-ductile studied under cyclic load. It is found that although incorporation considerably improved behaviour structural component, it could assure damage propagation a safe zone. Moreover, both specimens, main concentrated joint zone irrespective detailing. Further, damaged specimens adequately repaired suitably retrofitted using fibre plastic steel plate tested again same The ‘NonDuctile’ specimen, as proposed this stu...
