Abstract

Analysis of Tunnel Form Building Retrofitted with CFRP using Finite Element Method

Highlights

  • Most of the structures found in earthquake hazardous areas are subject to various destructive effects caused by seismic loads

  • Maximum moment and maximum shear force effect before the application of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials to the slap of the existing building are visually illustrated in the right side of the underlying shapes

  • The Period, Frequency, M max-min and V max-min values for existing and retrofitted building were given in the table below

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Most of the structures found in earthquake hazardous areas are subject to various destructive effects caused by seismic loads. Especially considering the performance of structures in seismic load effect, it is very important to strengthen the columns without changing the mass of the building. Using SAP2000 program moment and maximum shear force impacts were shown when CFRP materials were added to the slap of the existing building and the effect was visually illustrated in the left side of the underlying shapes. Maximum moment and maximum shear force effect before the application of CFRP materials to the slap of the existing building are visually illustrated in the right side of the underlying shapes. By looking at these illustrations, the differences can be seen clearly.
