In reinforced concrete buildings inserting adequate amount of reinforced concrete infills is an effective strengthening technique. Another promising technique is to strengthen the existing hollow clay tile infill with diagonally placed CFRP sheets. In this technique, CFRPsheets are extended to the frame members. The connection between CFRP sheets and frame members is provided by CFRP anchors. If an adequate amount of CFRP anchoring is used, CFRP applied hollow clay tile infill becomes a unique part of the reinforced concrete frame. Thus in this strengthening technique, the effectiveness is dictated by the CFRP anchors. In this study, by means of the prepared test setup, the pull-out strength capacities of CFRP anchors are measured. The effects of concrete compressive strength, anchorage depth, anchorage diameter, and number of fibers on the tensile strength capacity of CFRP anchor are studied.

HYSTERETIC RESPONSE OF REINFORCED-CONCRETE INFILLED FRAMES
ALTIN, S; ERSOY, U; TANKUT, T (1992-08-01)
Strengthening of framed reinforced concrete structures by cast-in-place reinforced concrete infills is commonly used in practice. The objective of this study is to investigate the behavior of such infilled frames under seismic loads. For this purpose, 14 two-story, one-bay infilled frames are tested under reversed cyclic loading simulating seismic action. The variables investigated are thc effect of type of infill reinforcement, thc connection between the frame and thc infill, and the flexural capacity of c...
Use of steel fiber reinforced mortar for seismic strengthening
Sevil, Tugce; BARAN, MEHMET; Bilir, Turhan; Canbay, Erdem (2011-02-01)
The objective of this research was to develop an economical, structurally effective, and practically applicable steel fiber reinforced mortar (SFRM) which could be applied onto the hollow brick infills of a reinforced concrete (RC) structure. Masonry walls were almost converted into strong and rigid infills with the application of SFRM. Two different mix proportions were produced with the composition of Portland cement, fine aggregate, water, and plasticizer or bonding agent as the chemical admixture. Tests...
A Method for the design of FRC tunnel linings reinforced with FRP bars
Demir, Mutlu; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
There are some difficulties in the construction of precast conventional reinforced concrete tunnel segments. Due to corrosion problem of ordinary reinforcement, the task becomes more complicated. Moreover, the workmanship for the construction of segments is also very time consuming. There are some research for the design of tunnel segments with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. Besides, guidelines for the design of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) tunnel linings are also available. This thesis provides a ...
Seismic Strengthening with Precast Concrete Panels - Theoretical Approach
Baran, Mehmet; Canbay, Erdem; Tankut, Tugrul (2010-01-01)
An economical, structurally effective and practically applicable seismic retrofitting technique has been developed on the basis of the principle of strengthening the existing hollow brick infill walls by using high strength precast concrete panels. The technique would not require evacuation of the building and would be applicable without causing much disturbance to the occupant. For this purpose, a total of eighteen reinforced concrete frames with hollow brick infill walls were tested under reversed cyclic ...
Modelling of strengthened hollow brick infills
BARAN, MEHMET; Ozcelik, Ramazan; Sevil, Tugce; Canbay, Erdem (2013-02-01)
Strengthening the existing hollow brick infill walls by bonding high-strength precast concrete panels or applying steel fibre reinforced mortar was found to be an occupant-friendly seismic retrofitting technique for the buildings in use with deficient reinforced concrete structural systems. Both techniques convert the existing non-structural hollow brick infill walls into load-carrying structural members. To verify the effectiveness of the techniques, 20 reinforced concrete frames with hollow brick infill w...
