Seismic vulnerability assessment of CFRP strengthened RC structures
Abstract:Seismic vulnerability of a Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame retrofitted with the Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is analysed in this paper. An experimental programme was conducted to determine the way in which concrete strength is affected by CFRP. The improved properties were modelled for different levels of concrete strength using a finite element based software. Using the results obtained during analysis, seismic vulnerability curves were derived for the unstrengthened and strengthened frames. The curv… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
