An economic, structurally effective and practically applicable strengthening technique was developed for reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings. The idea of the technique is to convert the existing hollow brick infill wall into a load carrying system acting as a cast-in-place RC infill wall by bonding relatively thin high strength precast concrete PC panels to the plastered hollow brick infill. For this purpose, a total of eight one-third scale, one bay, one story frames were tested under reversed-cyclic lateral loads. Test frames were designed and constructed with common deficiencies observed in practice. Four different panel types were used for strengthening. Test results showed that both strength and stiffness of the frames were significantly improved by the introduction of PC panels. Experimental results were compared with the analytical approaches suggested by the authors.

Retrofit of Non-Ductile RC Frames with Precast Concrete (PC) Wall Panels BARAN, MEHMET; Tankut, Tugrul (2011-12-01) An economic, structurally effective and practically applicable strengthening method had been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings. This study presents the test results on strengthening of deficient RC frames by using high strength precast concrete (PC) panels. The idea of the method is to convert the existing hollow brick infill wall into a load carrying system by bonding PC panels on to the plastered hollow brick infills. For this purpose, six (two reference and four strengthened) one-th...
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...
Strengthening of brick infilled rc frames with cfrp reinforcement-general principles Akın, Emre; Özcebe, Güney; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) There is an excessive demand for the rehabilitation of frame type reinforced concrete (RC) buildings which do not satisfy current earthquake code provisions. Therefore, it is imperative to develop user-friendly seismic strengthening methodologies which do not necessitate the evacuation of building during rehabilitation period. In this study, it was aimed to strengthen the brick infill walls by means of diagonal Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) fabrics and to integrate them with the existing structural...
Strengthening Infilled RC Frames Against Biaxial Seismic Action Demirel, İsmail Ozan; Yakut, Ahmet; Binici, Barış (null; 2018-08-29) Infill walls are widely used as formation, isolation and separation of closed spaces in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. Although they are passive members under gravity loads, they contribute to the structural response in case of lateral loading. Majority of the past research regarding seismic response of infilled frames is limited to in-plane contribution of infill walls to the structural response. Aiming identification of in-plane (IP) versus out-of-plane (OOP) interaction of infilled RC frames, an ext...
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 ...
