Comparison of seismic performances of reinforced concrete frames strengthened by different techniques

The aim of this study is to compare the seismic performances strengthening techniques applied reinforced concrete (RC) non-ductile frames tested under effects loads. In experimental part study, one-third scale, one-bay, two-storey hollow brick infilled RC were strengthened with five different and reversed cyclic lateral One being reference, bricks plastered on both sides, one was plain mortar, steel fiber two precast plates. last frame infill wall. Strengthening increased strength stiffnesses in ranges from 57% 189% 186% 486% respectively. numerical analysis part, an existing building located Istanbul, techniques, analyzed using a computer program. Numerical results evaluated terms interstorey drift ratio together overall performance building.
