Strength and Ductility of Retrofitted R/C Building by Multi-Story Steel-Braced Frame Subjected to Tri-Lateral Earthquake Loading


Abstract eng:
Lateral resistance and deformation capacity of a retrofitted reinforced concrete building by a multi-story steel-braced frame were studied by a tri-lateral static loading test using a plane frame specimen with 2-stories and 3-bays. R/C columns close to the steel-braced frame failed in tension, resulted from the tensile yielding and the fracture of all longitudinal bars. The lateral shear capacity and the deformation capacity were degraded under tri-lateral loading by severe compressive damage of concrete at the bottom of the columns due to bi-axial bending compared with those under in-plane and axial loading.
