In this study, seismic retrofitting of undamaged and moderately damaged RC columns with CFRP was investigated. The experimental program was conducted on five RC columns with inadequate tie spacing, 90-degree hooks at tie ends, and plain (undeformed) reinforcing bars. Columns were tested under a constant axial load of 27% of axial capacity and under reversed lateral cyclic loading. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the influence of sustained axial load during repairing, damage, and corner-rounding radius of CFRP wraps on the seismic performance of RC columns. Improved performance in terms of ductility, dissipated energy, and secant-stiffness degradation was observed for the CFRP strengthened columns. Reducing the corner-rounding radius deteriorated the seismic behavior of the columns, while the stiffness degradation response remained unaffected. The sustained axial load during repairing had only minor effect on column behavior. After CFRP repairing, the increase in yield drift ratio and curvature was observed to be in proportion with the corresponding consumed ductility values during damage cycles. A drift-based design equation for FRP repaired columns was proposed that considers the damage amount and axial load level as the major parameters as consistent with the experimental results.

Seismic upgrading of reinforced concrete frames with structural steel elements Özçelik, Ramazan; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) This thesis examines the seismic internal retrofitting of existing deficient reinforced concrete (RC) structures by using structural steel members. Both experimental and numerical studies were performed. The strengthening methods utilized with the scope of this work are chevron braces, internal steel frames (ISFs), X-braces and column with shear plate. For this purpose, thirteen strengthened and two as built reference one bay one story portal frame specimens having 1/3 scales were tested under constant grav...
Seismic strengthening of rectangular reinforced concrete columns using fiber reinforced polymers ÖZCAN, OKAN; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (2010-04-01) In recent years, fiber-reinforced polymers have been widely utilized to improve the seismic performance of deficient RC columns. In this study, the flexural behavior of CFRP strengthened rectangular RC columns with plain bars and insufficient confining steel was investigated Five specimens, representing a typical deficient building column with poor transverse reinforcement detailing and low concrete strength, were tested under cyclic displacement excursions and constant axial load. The beneficial effect of ...
Seismic behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete reinforced vertical panel buildings Gökmen, Furkan; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) In this study, the seismic behavior of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) reinforced panel walls and buildings was investigated. The structural members were investigated under cyclic lateral loading and axial load and the results were compared with the previous tests. The main objective of this study was to provide recommendations for nonlinear analysis of the reinforced AAC panel walls and buildings. OpenSees plat-form was chosen as the computational platform. The walls were modeled with fiber sections. The...
Plastic rotation capacity of RC columns under biaxial seismic demands Özcan, Okan; Binici, Barış (2023-03-01) Seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) columns should be evaluated considering biaxial demands for a more realistic assessment. However, most of the current seismic assessment regulations stipulate rotation capacity estimations considering only uniaxial bending test database. The effect of seismic demands in one direction may have a detrimental effect in the deformation capacity of the other direction. In the past studies, the influence of biaxial loading patterns/paths/histories, axial load level,...
Seismic Retrofit of Deficient RC Structures with Internal Steel Frames ÖZÇELİK, RAMAZAN; Akpinar, Ugur; Binici, Barış (2011-12-01) This paper describes an experimental study on internal steel frames (ISFs) to retrofit seismically deficient reinforced concrete (RC) frames. One reference and six strengthened frame specimens were tested under constant gravity load and cyclic lateral displacement excursions. Installation of the ISF with and without anchors to the RC frame was examined. Test results showed that the snug tight ISF installed inside an RC frame may suffice to realize the benefit of implementing ISFs. If the horizontal shear st...
