| Abstract: |
This paper is focused on a proposed seismic retrofitting system (PRS) configured to upgrade the performance of seismically vulnerable reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The PRS and a conventional retrofitting system using squat infill shear panels (SISPs) are used in an existing school and an office building. Nonlinear time history analyses of the buildings in the original and retrofitted conditions are conducted to assess the efficiency of the PRS. The analyses results revealed that the building retrofitted with the PRS has a more stable lateral force-deformation behavior with enhanced energy dissipation capability than that of the one retrofitted with SISPs. The building retrofitted with the PRS experiences significantly less damage due to more ductile behavior of the system. |
