Abstract:Reinforced concrete buildings are prone to collapse during seismic events due to the brittle shear failure of non-seismic beam-column joints (BCJ). In this study, two one-third scale reinforced concrete (RC) frames incorporating various non-seismic details were tested under lateral cyclic loading. One of the RC frames was used as control, while the other was strengthened using externally bonded carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets in a L-Shaped configuration with particular attention to anchorage to e… Show more
