Abstract

Present investigation consists in casting and testing six seismically detailed beam column reinforced concrete joints. All specimens were subjected to quasi-static monotonic loading. These damaged specimens were refurbished with two different configurations of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer laminates. Repaired specimens were again subjected to quasi-static monotonic loading. Results of investigation revealed that ultimate strength of configurations 1 and 2 was increased by 8.6, 6.7 % and ultimate deflection was increased by 54.6, 51.2 %, respectively. However, ductility factor, stiffness and ductility of repaired specimens were decreased by 24.8, 25.6; 60.6, 51.7; 49, 48 %, respectively.
