Applied Sciences, 2021 Most reinforced concrete (RC) frames would exhibit different degrees of damage after mainshock excitations, and these mainshock-damaged RC (MD-RC) frames are highly vulnerable to severe damage or even complete collapse under aftershock excitations.

Applied Sciences, 2021 The post-earthquake retrofitting and repair process of a building is a key factor in improving its seismic capability. A thorough understanding of retrofitting methods and processes will aid in repairing post-earthquake buildings and improving seismic ...

A Damage Model for Seismic Retrofitting of Structures [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2009 Numerous damage models have been developed in order to analyse the seismic behavior. Among the different possibilities existing in the literature, it is very clear that models developed along the lines of Continuum Damage Mechanics are more consistent with the definition of damage like a phenomenon with mechanical consequences as they include ...

Masonry Walls Retrofitted with Vertical FRP Rebars
Buildings, 2020 The out-of-plane behaviour of the walls as a consequence of an earthquake is the main vulnerability of existing masonry structures. In the case of rigid in compression not tensile resistant material, incremental dynamic analyses may be employed to ...

SEISMIC RETROFITTING TECHNIQUES FOR EXISTING MASONRY BUILDINGS
8th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2021 In many seismically active regions of the world there are large numbers of masonry buildings. Most of these buildings have not been designed for seismic loads.

Simplified Guidelines for Retrofitting Scenarios in the European Countries
Energies, 2023 A large part of the European building stock was built before implementing the recent energy and structural codes, resulting in buildings characterized by deficiencies in terms of comfort, energy savings and structural safety.
