Book Description
fib Bulletin 35 is the first bulletin to publish documentation from an fib short course. These courses are held worldwide and cover advanced knowledge of structural concrete in general, or specific topics. They are organized by fib and given by internationally recognized experts in fib, often supplemented with local experts active in fib. They are based on the knowledge and expertise from fib's ten Commissions and nearly fifty Task Groups. fib Bulletin 35 presents the course materials developed for the short course "Retrofitting of Concrete Structures through Externally Bonded FRP, with emphasis on Seismic Applications", given in Ankara and Istanbul in June 2005. The course drew on expertise both from outside Turkey and from the large pool of local experts on this subject. In most countries of the world, the building stock is ageing and needs continuous maintenance or repair. Moreover, the majority of existing constructions are deficient in the light of current knowledge and design codes. The problem of structural deficiency of existing constructions is especially acute in seismic regions, as, even there, seismic design of structures is relatively recent. The direct and indirect costs of demolition and reconstruction of structurally deficient constructions are often prohibitive; furthermore they entail a substantial waste of natural resources and energy. Therefore, structural retrofitting is becoming increasingly widespread throughout the world. Externally bonded Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) are rapidly becoming the technique of choice for structural retrofitting. They are cleaner and easier to apply than conventional retrofitting techniques, reduce disruption to the occupancy and operation of the facility, do not generate debris or waste, and reduce health and accident hazards at the construction site as well as noise and air pollution in the surroundings. fib Bulletin 35 gives state-of-the-art coverage of retrofitting through FRPs and presents relevant provisions from three recent standardisation milestones: EN 1998-3:2005 "Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance - Part 3: Assessment and retrofitting of buildings", the 2005 Draft of the Turkish seismic design code, and the Italian regulatory document CNR-DT 200/04, "Instructions for Design, Execution and Control of Strengthening Interventions by Means of Fibre-Reinforced Composites" (2004).

Book Description
Wide and concealed beam- narrow column joints constitute an important part of reinforced concrete building structural systems in Lebanon and the region. Because Lebanon and most of the region are seismically active, evaluating the performance of these joints when subjected to earthquake loads becomes particularly important. A two-part experimental investigation was carried out. Part 1 concentrated on evaluating the seismic response of wide and concealed beam-narrow column joints when designed and detailed under gravity load in accordance with local design and construction practices (as-built). Part 2 focussed on exploring means for improving the seismic performance of the joints through adequate reinforcement detailing, guided by the ACI Building Code. Aspects of the seismic behavior that were evaluated throughout the research program included: (i) mode of joint failure, (ii) flexural and shear capacity, (iii) bond performance of the reinforcing bars, (iv) lateral drift capacity or ductility, (v) stiffness degradation, (vi) energy absorption and dissipation capacity under cyclic loading, and (vii) shear capacity of the joint core. In the first part of the investigation (Part 1), four full-scale interior and exterior beam-column sub-assemblages were tested under quasi-static cyclic loading. All specimens experienced extensive shear cracking within the joint core, and at drift ratios between 4.0% and 4.5%, the joint core experienced damage beyond repair. It was concluded that unless detailed to prevent or limit shear failure, the as-built joints under investigation are significantly weak to be considered as part of the earthquake lateral-load-resisting system. In the second part of the investigation (Part 2), four additional full-scale joints were tested under quasi-static cyclic loading. The joints, referred to as earthquake-resistant joints, were similar to the four joints tested in Part 1, except that the reinforcement details were improved in part in accordance with ACI 318-08 provisions for earthquake-resistant structures. The joints satisfied some of the ACI Building Code design and steel detailing requirements, but still violated the dimension limitations specified in the same code or recommended by ACI-ASCE Committee 352-02. The corresponding joints displayed a considerably improved seismic performance, manifested by preventing or delaying joint shear failure, higher lateral load and drift capacities, lower stiffness degradation, larger energy dissipation capacities and stable overall hysteretic response when compared with the as-built joints. In addition to the main two parts of the investigation described briefly above, the potential of upgrading the seismic-resistant joints tested in Part 2 using a combination of epoxy injection for repairing the major cracks and carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) composites for strengthening was also explored and experimentally evaluated. The repair and strengthening procedure used in this study, which was carried out with minimum labor and cost, resulted in significant improvement of the structural performance of the damaged joints. This improved performance was manifested by substantial stiffness recovery, enhanced lateral load capacity and low strength degradation under large lateral drifts, controlled cracking and damage, and reasonable regain of energy absorption and dissipation capacity.
