Experiment Study on Seismic Behavior of RC Frames Strengthened by CFRP Sheets

Bu Wang

Abstract

Based on the test under quasi-static cycle load of two frames, which has two spans and two levels and whose scale of dimensions are 1∶2.5 to the real one, this thesis analyzes the upgraded seismic performances of frames strengthened by CFRP sheets in aspect of hysteretic behavior, shear deformation of beam-column joints′ cores, energy dissipation capacity, strength and stiffness degradation.
