Overview

Evaluates seismic performance and loss assessment in retrofitted RC structures, suggesting improved resilience strategies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess seismic performance and combined losses for an existing reinforced concrete structure under varying conditions.
  • Selection of a representative case-study RC structure built prior to modern seismic codes
  • Development of finite element models in SeismoStruct and SAP2000
  • Conduct of non-linear static and dynamic analyses to evaluate the structure's seismic performance
  • Assessment of expected annual losses to provide a probabilistic comparison of results
  • Initial seismic performance of the original structure was assessed under low and high seismicity scenarios
  • Comparison of two retrofitting strategies showed potential for minimizing combined seismic and energy losses
  • Probabilistic assessments indicated varying expected annual losses based on different retrofit solutions
