    CFRP Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Masonry Infill Walls: A Numerical and Parametric Study
    (TRANS TECH PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2013) Akin, E.; Ozcebe, G.
    The idea of strengthening the existing masonry infill walls of reinforced concrete (RC) frames has attracted many research groups in the last decade. The use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips along the diagonals of infills has become one major technique applied for this purpose. An experimental study conducted by the authors focused on the effect of aspect (height/width) ratio of hollow clay tile infills on the overall response attained by this strengthening methodology. Two different aspect ratios (HCT) were selected in the experimental study. However, a wider range of aspect ratios should also be investigated for design purposes. Therefore, a numerical model of the test frames are developed, which are validated by the experimental response curves. The basics of the numerical model that leads to a parametric study is the subject of this article.

    Testing and analysis of infilled reinforced concrete frames strengthened with CFRP reinforcement
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2011) Akin, E.; Canbay, E.; Binici, B.; Ozcebe, G.
    There is an excessive demand for the rehabilitation of frame-type RC buildings which do not satisfy current seismic code provisions. Therefore, it is imperative to develop user-friendly strengthening methodologies which do not necessitate the evacuation of the building during rehabilitation period. The aim of this study was to strengthen the masonry infill walls by means of diagonal carbon fiber-reinforced polymer fabrics and to integrate them with the existing structural frame in order to form a new lateral load resisting system. This study investigated the possible effects of height-to-width ratio of the infills on the overall behavior attained by the previously developed rehabilitation methodology. In the first part of the study, eight 1/3 scaled, one-bay, two-story RC frames with two different aspect ratios were tested. The experimental results in terms of lateral stiffness, strength, drift, and energy dissipation characteristics of the specimens were discussed. In the second part, a numerical study of the frames was conducted to estimate the non-linear behavior of the specimens.
