Experimental Study on Seismic Performance of CFRP Strengthened RC Frames Damaged by Earthquake

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we carried out low cyclic loading test over CFRP strengthened seismic-damaged RC frame named KJ-2 with the quasi-static test method, and compared the seismic performance with the same sections and materials RC frame named KJ-1 which was unstrengthened. We study the seismic performance such as hysteresis curve, skeleton curve, stiffness degradation, bearing capacity degeneration, displacement ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of the reinforced RC frame. On this basis, we analyzed the results of this test in order to obtain some guiding opinions for asymmetric span RC frames that strengthened by CFRP, and provide main preference basis or future national or industry standards.
