Finite Element Analysis on FRP Retrofitted RC Frame Structure Progressive Collapse Performance

Article Preview

Abstract:

A progressive collapse of a RC frame structure may be initiated by an event that damages one member of the structure. FRP is widely used in the field of structural reinforcement for its high strength ratio, convenient construction and corrosion resistance. In this paper, the collapse scene of a RC frame specimen with the failure mid-column in three programs has been simulated by LS-DYNA. We can infer the ultimate bearing capacity of the structure is raised about 10% (retrofitted by CFRP), 15% (retrofitted by GFRP) by comparing the results of finite element analysis.
