Seismic Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Frame Strengthened with In-Filled Wall Using Embedded Form

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study includes the development of the seismic retrofit technology that structural frame of building is strengthened by installing additional wall with embedded form after demolition of the inner walls of unreinforced masonry wall including the exterior design walls. In addition, this paper involves the earthquake resistant performance evaluation of the system through an experimental work. From the test, it was turned out that as for the maximum strength of the specimens, the maximum load was similar regardless of whether using the embedded form. However, EF-IW-H1(embedded form) specimen with the form hardware embedded in the wall during retrofit resulted in ductile behavior of the, which shows the effect on the embedded form in a sense.
