Selective Weakening and Post-Tensioning for the Seismic Retrofit of Non-Ductile RC Frames

Selective Weakening and Post-Tensioning for the Seismic Retrofit of Non-Ductile RC Frames

This research introduces and develops a counter-intuitive seismic retrofit strategy, referred to as “Selective Weakening” (SW), for pre-1970s reinforced concrete (RC) frames with a particular emphasis on the upgrading of exterior beam-column joints. By focusing on increasing the displacement and duc...
