Performance Recovery Evaluation of Flexural Reinforced Concrete Beams with Different Levels of Repair Based on Shake-Table Testing

Abstract

AbstractTypically, earthquake-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) building components are fully repaired with epoxy injection into every crack wider than 0.2 mm to achieve the highest performance recovery. However, this repair objective may not be necessary ...Practical ApplicationsPractical applications for this paper are focused on determining the ability to achieve seismic performance objectives of an earthquake-damaged concrete frame building while saving costs by only repairing a portion of the plastic ...
