Seismic Retrofit of RC Frame Buildings with Masonry Infill Walls: Literature Review and Preliminary Case Study
Author: Mike Griffith | Size: 0.87 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: European Communities | Year: 2008 | pages: 83
The purpose of the present study was to investigate possible seismic retrofit options for use in the seismic upgrade of a рeinforced concrete frame building with brick masonry infill walls. The building is typical of a Mediterranean European country (e.g., Greece, Italy, Portugal) and while designed according to the state-of-the-art over 40 years ago, it does not meet the present day seismic design requirements and contains a number of now “well-recognised” seismic design deficiencies and problems such as:
• inadequate beam-column joint details (discontinuous, inadequately anchored bottom beam steel and inadequate shear reinforcement);
• inadequate confinement of columns (stirrups with 90° bends and spacing of 10 bd to 12.5 bd);
• inadequate column splice joint details;
• weak-column strong-beam frame collapse mechanism; and
• brick masonry infill wall interaction with frame response.
The overall aim of this project was to identify the optimal combination of retrofit options that would enable the building to meet the present-day “life-safety” performance criteria for buildings subject to a design magnitude earthquake. As part of this study, a detailed review of the broader literature in the area of seismic rehabilitation was undertaken in conjunction with a preliminary assessment of the building’s seismic capacity. Based on these findings, a number of retrofit schemes will be investigated analytically in order to identify the most suitable course of action.
In the present paper, a summary of that literature review is given, followed by the results of the preliminary assessment of the seismic resistance of the building, and a description of several seismic retrofit scheme options for further detailed study. The effectiveness of the retrofit scheme eventually selected from among the options discussed here will be tested using full-scale pseudo-dynamic tests at the ELSA laboratory of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy. The results of these detailed analyses and tests will be reported in future publications.

"House Rating Schemes" provides information to students, architects and researchers in the field of the built environment. It reviews current House Rating Schemes (HRS) used in different countries and investigates how these schemes assess the thermal performance of a house. It challenges the way that these schemes assess building energy efficiency and their inability to evaluate free running buildings which do not need an energy load for heating and cooling indoor environments. Finally, the book proposes a new index and method for HRS in which the efficiency of a house design can be evaluated with reference to its thermal performance in both free running and conditioned operation modes. The book deals with various approaches and methods for rating buildings on the basis of different indexes, with implications for both energy efficiency and thermal comfort. It also guides readers through a computer simulation program for developing a rating system that evaluates and ranks building energy efficiency.
