Applying similar amount of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) for all plastic hinge locations in a structure is not an ideal approach asdamage occurring at these critical locations may vary considerably Building owners also always want to keep FRP retrofitting costand associated interruption to a minimum In this context the current paper proposes an FRP retrofitting approach in which FRPis selectively distributed based on the distribution of seismic damage in structures +e proposed approach characterized by bothquantitative and qualitative criteria is simple but very effective in simultaneously reducing the seismic damage amount of FRP tobe used and time of installation For the considered cases of low- and mid-rise nonductile building structures the FRP amountreduced approximately by 31 compared to the cases in which FRP was evenly distributed leading to lower installation cost andless interruption time Interestingly although 31 FRP was saved the damage indices of the FRP retrofitted frames weresignificantly lower than those in cases of even FRP distribution because FRP effectively served for critical locations Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the proposed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engineering practice

1 Introduction

Many existing reinforced concrete (RC) building structuresaround the world designed and built based on old codes havebeen identified to be deficient compared with currentseismic codes [1] One of the common deficiencies is ofstirrups leading to nonductile behaviour and low lateralload resistance of structures [1 2] Consequently the weakbeam-strong column mechanism is not achieved and severedamage or collapse of buildings have been evident in the pastearthquake events [1 3] +us mitigating the seismic risk byretrofitting these structures to meet the requirement ofcurrent seismic provisions instead of demolishing and re-building has been a solution of choice because of economicand social reasons Extensive research has been devoted tothe investigations of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) appli-cations in the past few decades and FRP has been widelyrecognized as an economical engineering solution for ret-rofitting RC structures Compared with conventional

methods such as steel brace system cross section enlarge-ment or steel jacketing FRP retrofit does not change thearchitecture or occupy the living space of buildings Inaddition FRP retrofit is much easier and quicker to installwhile FRP imposes almost no additional load on structuresdue to its lightweight +e high tensile strength and highcorrosive resistance are also good characteristics makingFRP become the material of choice to retrofit beams [4ndash10]columns [11ndash16] joints [17ndash21] and structures [22ndash24]

FRP retrofitting aims at increasing the ductility strengthandor stiffness of existing structures For structures withdeficiency of transverse reinforcement increasing theductility should be taken as priority FRP wraps provideconfinement conditions which significantly increase thecompressive strength and ultimate strain for concrete[25ndash28] Consequently the strength [29 30] ductility[29 30] and energy absorption capacity [29 31] of columnsretrofitted by FRP wraps greatly improved Studies onminimizing the amount of FRP and thus the cost for

retrofitting of columns were also conducted by researchers[32 33] For frame structures similar beneficial effects ofFRP retrofitting have been confirmed by researchers FRPretrofitting successfully prevented soft storey [1] and col-umn-sway [34] mechanisms for structures FRP retrofittingsignificantly increased the seismic capacity [3 35ndash38] andconsiderably improved deformation capacity [34 37] butreduced damage [34 37 39] for structures

+e above studies on FRP retrofitting of RC framesconfirmed the effectiveness of FRP confinement applied tocritical locations of plastic hinges to improve the seismicperformance of RC structures however less attention hasbeen paid for the cost of FRP retrofitting Along with re-ducing to a predefined damage level for structures the leastamount of FRP and the shortest FRP installation time tominimize the cost are of major concerns by not onlybuilding owners but also structuralretrofitting engineersObviously these concerns are not appropriately addressedby evenly distributing FRP for critical locations of plastichinges because the seismic damage is unevenly distributed tothese locations To the best of the authorsrsquo knowledge thenumber of studies aiming at addressing these concerns isquite limited in the literature as reviewed in the following+ermou et al [40] developed a methodology for upgradingdeficient RC buildings in which the distribution of the inter-storey drift is optimized by intervening the stiffness dis-tribution in the vertical direction of the building Zou et al[41] optimized the performance-based design of FRP con-finement at plastic hinges of columns for seismic retrofittingof existing RC structures +e optimization objective was tominimize the thickness of FRP confinement while the op-timization process was subjected to the criterion of inelasticinter-storey drift Choi et al [42] proposed a seismic ret-rofitting method for shear-critical RC frames using FRPwraps withmultiobjectives+e two objective functions wereto minimize the amount of FRP and variation coefficient ofthe inter-storey drift while the constraint functions were theallowable inter-storey drift the shear failure and themaximum compressive strength of concrete +e optimalmethod was illustrated by the retrofitting of a three-storeyframe

Only limited number of studies [40ndash42] in which inter-storey drift was employed as the main criterion to distributeFRP together with no clear guidelines in current codesapplied for FRP distribution in frames have inspired theauthors to carry out this study An attempt aiming at helpingengineers to address the practical concern of FRP retrofittingcost raise by building owners and to improve the effec-tiveness of the FRP retrofitting is presented in this paper Toachieve this aim an FRP retrofitting approach of RCstructures in which FRP is distributed based on the seismicdamage distribution (instead of inter-storey drift) instructures was proposed Because the damage indices ofplastic hinges (element damage level) are more specific thaninter-storey drifts (storey damage level) the distribution ofFRP based on damage indices is logically more appropriate+e technical and economical effectiveness proposed ap-proach was demonstrated for the two FRP retrofitting casesof 4- and 8-storey nonductile RC frames representing for

low- and mid-rise building structures +e frames wereretrofitted by the proposed approach and then by evenlydistributing the FRP for comparison Conclusions are madebased on the comparison

2 The Proposed Damage-Based FRPRetrofitting Approach

Figure 1 shows the proposed FRP retrofitting approach forexisting structures based on seismic damage distributionBased on the design of a structure the seismic damagedistribution in structures is analysed +e obtained damagedistribution is used to distribute the FRP In this proposedFRP retrofitting approach FRP is only applied to the lo-cations of plastic hinges where the damage indices (DI) arelarger than the allowable damage index [DI] while the lo-cations with no or minor damage are not applied by FRP+is step is simple but very effective in appropriately dis-tributing FRP Two criteria are applied in the proposedretrofitting approach +e first criterion is quantitatively setby the condition DI le [DI] while the second criterion isqualitatively set by the damage distribution +e proposedFRP retrofitting approach is described in Figure 1 followedby the general descriptions of steps Some steps with longdetails are described in Sections 3 and 4 It is worth em-phasizing that the details of long steps presented in thesesections are of several methods that can be used For ex-ample the selection of seismic records can be different basedon the seismic design codes or the analysis method can bedifferent provided the target is achieved

(i) Step 1 existing structures+e design of building structures is collected pro-viding information for analyses and FRP retrofitting

(ii) Step 2 design earthquakes and the allowabledamage index [DI]+e design earthquake intensity is based on thecurrent seismic code for the region where theretrofitted building is located +e characteristicsof earthquakes occurring in the region are alsocollected if applicable +e design response spec-trum regulated in current seismic codes for theregion is constructed and earthquake groundmotions are then selected +ese selected groundmotions are scaled to match the design responsespectrum in order to obtain the scaled seismicrecords which are then used for inelastic timehistory (ITH) analyses+e other task of this step is to determine thedamage level for the retrofitted structures such aslight damage moderate damage or severe damagewhen the retrofitted structure experiences thedesign earthquakes +e target damage level isestablished by the owners managers or investorsunder being consulted by structural engineers witha reference to current seismic codes +e targetdamage level is then used to determine the al-lowable damage index [DI] +is [DI] is used as a

quantitative control criterion for the FRP retro-fitting design followed by the qualitative criterionof damage distribution

(iii) Step 3 ITH analyses of RC frame+e structure is modelled for ITH analyses +eseITH analyses are performed for the structuresubjected to the selected ground motions corre-sponding to the design seismic intensity estab-lished in Step 2 +e details of ITH analyses arepresented in Section 31

(iv) Step 4 damage analyses+e results of hysteretic behaviours of plastichinges obtained from ITH analyses in step 3 areexported in the form of Excel data files +en thesedata served for damage analyses conducted inMATLAB [43] expressed by damage indices +eobtained damage indices are then used to plot thedamage distribution in structures +e details ofdamage analyses are presented in Section 32

(v) Step 5 FRP retrofit based on damage distributionDue to the deficiency of internal confinement FRPwraps are applied to the plastic hinge locations to

provide external confinement +e design of FRPconfinement is presented in Section 41 +edamage distribution in the frame is then used todistribute the FRP in amanner that one or two FRPplies are applied for severe damage locations wherethe damage indices are larger than the allowabledamage index [DI] No FRP is applied for thelocations with no or minor damage +is simpleFRP distribution directly aims at severe andmoderate damage locations making the retrofit-ting approach become more effective

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the FRP retrofitted frame+is step is similar to Step 3 however the FRPconfinement is included +e analyses for prop-erties of FRP-confined RC plastic hinges are pre-sented in Section 42 while ITH analyses of the FRPretrofitted frames are presented in Section 31

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the FRP retrofittedframesSimilar to Step 4 the hysteretic behaviours ofplastic hinges are exported in the form of Exceldata files which are then processed in MATLAB[43] and the damage of plastic hinges is quan-tified by the damage index +e damage indicesare plotted to obtain the damage distribution inthe frame Evaluation of damage distribution iscarried out to provide information for FRP re-distribution and adjustment in the frame +edetails of damage analyses are presented inSection 32

(viii) Step 8 check the quantitative condition DIle [DI](quantitative criterion)+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinge locations If there are plastic hingelocations whose damage indices are not satisfiedthis condition the FRP retrofitting for those lo-cations is redesigned by applying one additionalFRP ply thus go back to Step 5 Otherwise go toStep 9For special situations of finance the redesignshould aim at not only at the locations whosedamage index is larger than the allowable damageindex but also the locations whose damage indicesare too small A simple rule can be applied de-crease one ply for plastic hinge where the damageindex is much smaller than the [DI] and increaseone ply for plastic hinges where DIgt [DI]

(ix) Step 9 evaluating the damage distribution (qual-itative criterion)When the quantitative condition DIle [DI] issatisfied the distribution of damage in the frame isqualitatively evaluated +is step is conductedbased on the importance of storeys and elementsFor example the storey i is more important thanstorey i+ (the above storeys) while it is less im-portant than the storey i minus (the below storeys) +elowest storey can be the most important while the

3 ITH and Damage Analyses

31 ITH Analyses Under earthquake excitations inelasticdeformation is often developed at the critical regions ofplastic hinges +e lump plasticity technique was employedfor nonlinear modelling in this study +e details of themodelling were described in [22] thus only brief de-scription is presented herein for convenience to readersLinear and nonlinear elements were employed for themodelling+e nonlinear elements were used to capture thenonlinear and hysteretic behaviours of plastic hinges +elocations of nonlinear elements are at the centers of plastichinges of beams and columns Figure 2(a) shows the modelof a four-storey three-bay frame +e locations of inelasticelements of beams are located at (hcolumn + lpbeam)2 wherelpbeam is the plastic hinge lengths of beams and hcolumn is theheight of the column sections Similarly the locations ofinelastic elements of columns are located at(hbeam + lpcolumn)2 where lpcolumn is the plastic hingelengths of columns and hbeam is the height of the beamsections

+e inelastic behaviours of plastic hinges are capturedusing a hysteretic model Several hysteretic models areavailable in the literature however majority of thesemodels excludes the crack of concrete in tension zone whilethe Takeda hysteretic model [44] includes the concretecracking +us the Takeda model is selected for damageanalyses in this paper because the crack of concrete can beconsidered as the onset of damage Figure 2(b) shows theTakeda hysteretic model [44] developed based on the force-deformation curve including the crack point (Dcr Pcr) andthe yield point (Dy Py) Details of this model can be foundelsewhere [44]

+e properties of nonlinear elements are moment-ro-tation curves of plastic hinges +ese moment-rotationcurves are obtained using the moment-curvature curves andthe plastic hinge lengths In this paper the simple model ofplastic hinge length lp h proposed by Sheikh and Khoury[45] is adopted while the moment-curvature curves areobtained using fibre model In moment-curvature analysesusing fibre model the cross section is discretized into manyfibres as shown in Figure 3(a) which are assumed to ex-perience pure longitudinal deformation +e distribution ofstrain in a cross section is assumed to be linear as shown inFigure 3(b) +e maximum compressive strain εm and theposition of the neutral axis Zn are used to determine thestrain distribution in the section Correspondingly thecurvature is computed as φ εmZn

+e position of neutral axis Zn is found when the forceequilibrium is attained +e force equilibrium is establishedbased on the fibre forces which are the products of fibre stressesand the fibre cross-sectional areas and the axial force N actingon the section For each fibre the strain at the fibre centroid is

used to compute the fibre stress using the stress-strain be-haviour of fibre material Amongst several stress-strain models[46ndash52] proposed for concrete Park et alrsquos [52] model takesinto account the enhancement of the maximum stress and thestrain at maximum stress due to the confinement effects thusthis model is used in this paper Equations (1) and (2) show therelationship between the stress fc and the strain εc of concrete+e parameters of themodel are shown in equations (3)ndash(6) inwhich ρs is the ratio of the volume of transverse reinforcementto that of the concrete surrounded by the transverse rein-forcement fc

32 Damage Analyses +e hysteretic behaviours of non-linear elements obtained from ITH analyses are exportedfor damage analyses using a damage model Comparedwith noncumulative damage models cumulative damagemodels are more appropriate for damage analyses ofstructures subjected to earthquake excitations because theduration number of cycles and frequency content of theground motions play important roles in damaging struc-tures In addition the magnitude of damage index shouldvary from 0 to 1 DI 0 refers to the state of no damagewhile DI 1 refers to the state of collapse +e damagemodel proposed by Cao et al [53] shown in equation (7)satisfied the just-mentioned characteristics and is used inthis paper

4 Design and Analyses of FRPRetrofitted Frames

41 Design of FRP Confinement Providing external con-finement using FRP wraps is an appropriate retrofittingsolution applied to structures whose transverse steel inad-equately confines the concrete FRP wraps are applied to theplastic hinges of columns in the orientation of transversereinforcement to confine concrete leading to the

enhancement of strength and ductility for concrete +elength of columns on which FRP wraps are applied isassumed to be twice the plastic hinge length lp

+e effectiveness of FRP retrofitting depends on severalfactors such as the mechanical properties of FRP the di-mensions and shapes of cross sections and the strength ofunconfined concrete For a given FRP type and the crosssection the total thickness of FRP is of importance in FRPretrofitting which governs the strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete [41] as can be apparent in the Lam andTeng model [25 54] +e thickness of one FRP ply is pro-duced by manufacturers and is a constant +erefore thenumber of FRP plies is considered as a variable for theretrofitting design In this study the cost of FRP retrofittingis directly inferred from the amount of FRP It should be

mentioned herein that the cost of FRP retrofitting alsodepends on the number of plastic hinges retrofitted by FRPdue to the labour work and time of FRP installation Forexample with a similar amount of FRP the retrofittingsolution with fewer locations of FRP installation could beless labour work and shorter installation time and such asolution is therefore cheaper

+e effectiveness of FRPwraps to improve the compressivestrength and ductility of concrete has been widely confirmed inthe literature +e tensile strength and modulus of GFRP aremuch lower than those of CFRP providing larger displacementductility for concrete consequently the aims of confinementand ductility improvement are better achieved by GFRP thanCFRP as confirmed in [22 55] Additionally GFRP is muchcheaper than CFRP+erefore GFRP is used in this paper+etensile strength and modulus of GFRP unidirectional fibresheets provided by the manufacturers are 3241MPa and72397MPa respectively [56] while the thickness is 0589mm[56] Figure 4 shows the design of GFRP wraps in which theplastic hinges of columns are wrapped by a number of GFRPplies To avoid stress concentration leading to early failure ofGFRP at corners rounding corners of columns should beconducted before applying the GFRP wraps [57] Rounding50mm at column corners [23 41] is adopted in this study andis shown in Figure 4

42 Inelastic Analyses of RC Frame Retrofitted by FRPConfinement Because the FRP wraps is in the orientation ofthe transverse reinforcement the strength and stiffness of FRPin the longitudinal direction of columns (axial axis of col-umns) can be neglected [41]+e effect of FRPwraps results inthe improvement of stress-strain behaviour of concrete thusthe moment-curvature analyses of sections confined by FRPare almost similar to moment-curvature analyses presentedSection 31 +e difference is that the stress-strain model ofFRP-confined concrete is taken into account +e confine-ment effect of GFRP wraps increases the compressive strengthand ultimate strain of concrete thus it has marginal effect onthe plastic hinge locations of FRP-confined columns asproven in [29] +erefore the locations of plastic hinges inbeams and columns of the retrofitted frame are unchangedcompared with those of the original frame

+e stress-strain behaviour of FRP-confined concretehas been studied by many researchers [25 26 54 58ndash60] andit is concluded that the strength and ductility of concreteincrease significantly Review on FRP-confined concretemodels has been performed by Ozbakkaloglu et al [61] forcircular sections and Rocca et al [62] for noncircular sec-tions Overall the available models of FRP-confined con-crete can be categorized into two types with and withoutincluding the internal effect of transverse reinforcementBoth transverse reinforcement and FRP provides confine-ment for the concrete core surrounded by transverse rein-forcement while only FRP provides confinement to thecover concrete +e models of FRP-confined concrete si-multaneously considering both confinement effects of FRPand transverse reinforcement are often complex due to theinteraction between the internal and external confinements

Additionally the external confinement caused by FRP ismuch stronger than the poor internal confinement caused bythe deficient transverse reinforcement +is stronger con-finement of FRP can be proven by the fact that after thestrain 0002 (approximately) the stress-strain branch of theFRP-confined concrete model ascends while that of thetransverse-reinforcement confined concrete model de-scends In addition the purpose of FRP wraps is to provideadditional confinement to poorly confined RC members+erefore for simplification the poor internal confinementof transverse reinforcement is neglected in this study

+ere are several stress-strain models [25 54 63ndash65] forconcrete confined by FRP wraps available in the literatureAmongst these Lam and Teng [25 54] model is simple butadequately accurate and is adopted in ACI code [66] Inaddition this model was the most appropriate for circularand rectangular columns as proven by Rocca et al [67] andhas been used by many researchers [23 55 67] +us theLam and Teng [25 54] stress-strain model for FRP-confinedconcrete is selected to use in this paper Figure 5 illustratesthe Lam and Teng [25 54] model which includes two partsthe parabolic curve (branch OA) expressed by equation (8)and the linear branch (AB) expressed by equation (9) +eparameters of the model are defined in equations (10)ndash(19)

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

retrofitting of columns were also conducted by researchers[32 33] For frame structures similar beneficial effects ofFRP retrofitting have been confirmed by researchers FRPretrofitting successfully prevented soft storey [1] and col-umn-sway [34] mechanisms for structures FRP retrofittingsignificantly increased the seismic capacity [3 35ndash38] andconsiderably improved deformation capacity [34 37] butreduced damage [34 37 39] for structures

+e above studies on FRP retrofitting of RC framesconfirmed the effectiveness of FRP confinement applied tocritical locations of plastic hinges to improve the seismicperformance of RC structures however less attention hasbeen paid for the cost of FRP retrofitting Along with re-ducing to a predefined damage level for structures the leastamount of FRP and the shortest FRP installation time tominimize the cost are of major concerns by not onlybuilding owners but also structuralretrofitting engineersObviously these concerns are not appropriately addressedby evenly distributing FRP for critical locations of plastichinges because the seismic damage is unevenly distributed tothese locations To the best of the authorsrsquo knowledge thenumber of studies aiming at addressing these concerns isquite limited in the literature as reviewed in the following+ermou et al [40] developed a methodology for upgradingdeficient RC buildings in which the distribution of the inter-storey drift is optimized by intervening the stiffness dis-tribution in the vertical direction of the building Zou et al[41] optimized the performance-based design of FRP con-finement at plastic hinges of columns for seismic retrofittingof existing RC structures +e optimization objective was tominimize the thickness of FRP confinement while the op-timization process was subjected to the criterion of inelasticinter-storey drift Choi et al [42] proposed a seismic ret-rofitting method for shear-critical RC frames using FRPwraps withmultiobjectives+e two objective functions wereto minimize the amount of FRP and variation coefficient ofthe inter-storey drift while the constraint functions were theallowable inter-storey drift the shear failure and themaximum compressive strength of concrete +e optimalmethod was illustrated by the retrofitting of a three-storeyframe

Only limited number of studies [40ndash42] in which inter-storey drift was employed as the main criterion to distributeFRP together with no clear guidelines in current codesapplied for FRP distribution in frames have inspired theauthors to carry out this study An attempt aiming at helpingengineers to address the practical concern of FRP retrofittingcost raise by building owners and to improve the effec-tiveness of the FRP retrofitting is presented in this paper Toachieve this aim an FRP retrofitting approach of RCstructures in which FRP is distributed based on the seismicdamage distribution (instead of inter-storey drift) instructures was proposed Because the damage indices ofplastic hinges (element damage level) are more specific thaninter-storey drifts (storey damage level) the distribution ofFRP based on damage indices is logically more appropriate+e technical and economical effectiveness proposed ap-proach was demonstrated for the two FRP retrofitting casesof 4- and 8-storey nonductile RC frames representing for

low- and mid-rise building structures +e frames wereretrofitted by the proposed approach and then by evenlydistributing the FRP for comparison Conclusions are madebased on the comparison

2 The Proposed Damage-Based FRPRetrofitting Approach

Figure 1 shows the proposed FRP retrofitting approach forexisting structures based on seismic damage distributionBased on the design of a structure the seismic damagedistribution in structures is analysed +e obtained damagedistribution is used to distribute the FRP In this proposedFRP retrofitting approach FRP is only applied to the lo-cations of plastic hinges where the damage indices (DI) arelarger than the allowable damage index [DI] while the lo-cations with no or minor damage are not applied by FRP+is step is simple but very effective in appropriately dis-tributing FRP Two criteria are applied in the proposedretrofitting approach +e first criterion is quantitatively setby the condition DI le [DI] while the second criterion isqualitatively set by the damage distribution +e proposedFRP retrofitting approach is described in Figure 1 followedby the general descriptions of steps Some steps with longdetails are described in Sections 3 and 4 It is worth em-phasizing that the details of long steps presented in thesesections are of several methods that can be used For ex-ample the selection of seismic records can be different basedon the seismic design codes or the analysis method can bedifferent provided the target is achieved

(i) Step 1 existing structures+e design of building structures is collected pro-viding information for analyses and FRP retrofitting

(ii) Step 2 design earthquakes and the allowabledamage index [DI]+e design earthquake intensity is based on thecurrent seismic code for the region where theretrofitted building is located +e characteristicsof earthquakes occurring in the region are alsocollected if applicable +e design response spec-trum regulated in current seismic codes for theregion is constructed and earthquake groundmotions are then selected +ese selected groundmotions are scaled to match the design responsespectrum in order to obtain the scaled seismicrecords which are then used for inelastic timehistory (ITH) analyses+e other task of this step is to determine thedamage level for the retrofitted structures such aslight damage moderate damage or severe damagewhen the retrofitted structure experiences thedesign earthquakes +e target damage level isestablished by the owners managers or investorsunder being consulted by structural engineers witha reference to current seismic codes +e targetdamage level is then used to determine the al-lowable damage index [DI] +is [DI] is used as a

quantitative control criterion for the FRP retro-fitting design followed by the qualitative criterionof damage distribution

(iii) Step 3 ITH analyses of RC frame+e structure is modelled for ITH analyses +eseITH analyses are performed for the structuresubjected to the selected ground motions corre-sponding to the design seismic intensity estab-lished in Step 2 +e details of ITH analyses arepresented in Section 31

(iv) Step 4 damage analyses+e results of hysteretic behaviours of plastichinges obtained from ITH analyses in step 3 areexported in the form of Excel data files +en thesedata served for damage analyses conducted inMATLAB [43] expressed by damage indices +eobtained damage indices are then used to plot thedamage distribution in structures +e details ofdamage analyses are presented in Section 32

(v) Step 5 FRP retrofit based on damage distributionDue to the deficiency of internal confinement FRPwraps are applied to the plastic hinge locations to

provide external confinement +e design of FRPconfinement is presented in Section 41 +edamage distribution in the frame is then used todistribute the FRP in amanner that one or two FRPplies are applied for severe damage locations wherethe damage indices are larger than the allowabledamage index [DI] No FRP is applied for thelocations with no or minor damage +is simpleFRP distribution directly aims at severe andmoderate damage locations making the retrofit-ting approach become more effective

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the FRP retrofitted frame+is step is similar to Step 3 however the FRPconfinement is included +e analyses for prop-erties of FRP-confined RC plastic hinges are pre-sented in Section 42 while ITH analyses of the FRPretrofitted frames are presented in Section 31

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the FRP retrofittedframesSimilar to Step 4 the hysteretic behaviours ofplastic hinges are exported in the form of Exceldata files which are then processed in MATLAB[43] and the damage of plastic hinges is quan-tified by the damage index +e damage indicesare plotted to obtain the damage distribution inthe frame Evaluation of damage distribution iscarried out to provide information for FRP re-distribution and adjustment in the frame +edetails of damage analyses are presented inSection 32

(viii) Step 8 check the quantitative condition DIle [DI](quantitative criterion)+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinge locations If there are plastic hingelocations whose damage indices are not satisfiedthis condition the FRP retrofitting for those lo-cations is redesigned by applying one additionalFRP ply thus go back to Step 5 Otherwise go toStep 9For special situations of finance the redesignshould aim at not only at the locations whosedamage index is larger than the allowable damageindex but also the locations whose damage indicesare too small A simple rule can be applied de-crease one ply for plastic hinge where the damageindex is much smaller than the [DI] and increaseone ply for plastic hinges where DIgt [DI]

(ix) Step 9 evaluating the damage distribution (qual-itative criterion)When the quantitative condition DIle [DI] issatisfied the distribution of damage in the frame isqualitatively evaluated +is step is conductedbased on the importance of storeys and elementsFor example the storey i is more important thanstorey i+ (the above storeys) while it is less im-portant than the storey i minus (the below storeys) +elowest storey can be the most important while the

3 ITH and Damage Analyses

31 ITH Analyses Under earthquake excitations inelasticdeformation is often developed at the critical regions ofplastic hinges +e lump plasticity technique was employedfor nonlinear modelling in this study +e details of themodelling were described in [22] thus only brief de-scription is presented herein for convenience to readersLinear and nonlinear elements were employed for themodelling+e nonlinear elements were used to capture thenonlinear and hysteretic behaviours of plastic hinges +elocations of nonlinear elements are at the centers of plastichinges of beams and columns Figure 2(a) shows the modelof a four-storey three-bay frame +e locations of inelasticelements of beams are located at (hcolumn + lpbeam)2 wherelpbeam is the plastic hinge lengths of beams and hcolumn is theheight of the column sections Similarly the locations ofinelastic elements of columns are located at(hbeam + lpcolumn)2 where lpcolumn is the plastic hingelengths of columns and hbeam is the height of the beamsections

+e inelastic behaviours of plastic hinges are capturedusing a hysteretic model Several hysteretic models areavailable in the literature however majority of thesemodels excludes the crack of concrete in tension zone whilethe Takeda hysteretic model [44] includes the concretecracking +us the Takeda model is selected for damageanalyses in this paper because the crack of concrete can beconsidered as the onset of damage Figure 2(b) shows theTakeda hysteretic model [44] developed based on the force-deformation curve including the crack point (Dcr Pcr) andthe yield point (Dy Py) Details of this model can be foundelsewhere [44]

+e properties of nonlinear elements are moment-ro-tation curves of plastic hinges +ese moment-rotationcurves are obtained using the moment-curvature curves andthe plastic hinge lengths In this paper the simple model ofplastic hinge length lp h proposed by Sheikh and Khoury[45] is adopted while the moment-curvature curves areobtained using fibre model In moment-curvature analysesusing fibre model the cross section is discretized into manyfibres as shown in Figure 3(a) which are assumed to ex-perience pure longitudinal deformation +e distribution ofstrain in a cross section is assumed to be linear as shown inFigure 3(b) +e maximum compressive strain εm and theposition of the neutral axis Zn are used to determine thestrain distribution in the section Correspondingly thecurvature is computed as φ εmZn

+e position of neutral axis Zn is found when the forceequilibrium is attained +e force equilibrium is establishedbased on the fibre forces which are the products of fibre stressesand the fibre cross-sectional areas and the axial force N actingon the section For each fibre the strain at the fibre centroid is

used to compute the fibre stress using the stress-strain be-haviour of fibre material Amongst several stress-strain models[46ndash52] proposed for concrete Park et alrsquos [52] model takesinto account the enhancement of the maximum stress and thestrain at maximum stress due to the confinement effects thusthis model is used in this paper Equations (1) and (2) show therelationship between the stress fc and the strain εc of concrete+e parameters of themodel are shown in equations (3)ndash(6) inwhich ρs is the ratio of the volume of transverse reinforcementto that of the concrete surrounded by the transverse rein-forcement fc

4 Design and Analyses of FRPRetrofitted Frames

41 Design of FRP Confinement Providing external con-finement using FRP wraps is an appropriate retrofittingsolution applied to structures whose transverse steel inad-equately confines the concrete FRP wraps are applied to theplastic hinges of columns in the orientation of transversereinforcement to confine concrete leading to the

enhancement of strength and ductility for concrete +elength of columns on which FRP wraps are applied isassumed to be twice the plastic hinge length lp

+e effectiveness of FRP retrofitting depends on severalfactors such as the mechanical properties of FRP the di-mensions and shapes of cross sections and the strength ofunconfined concrete For a given FRP type and the crosssection the total thickness of FRP is of importance in FRPretrofitting which governs the strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete [41] as can be apparent in the Lam andTeng model [25 54] +e thickness of one FRP ply is pro-duced by manufacturers and is a constant +erefore thenumber of FRP plies is considered as a variable for theretrofitting design In this study the cost of FRP retrofittingis directly inferred from the amount of FRP It should be

mentioned herein that the cost of FRP retrofitting alsodepends on the number of plastic hinges retrofitted by FRPdue to the labour work and time of FRP installation Forexample with a similar amount of FRP the retrofittingsolution with fewer locations of FRP installation could beless labour work and shorter installation time and such asolution is therefore cheaper

+e effectiveness of FRPwraps to improve the compressivestrength and ductility of concrete has been widely confirmed inthe literature +e tensile strength and modulus of GFRP aremuch lower than those of CFRP providing larger displacementductility for concrete consequently the aims of confinementand ductility improvement are better achieved by GFRP thanCFRP as confirmed in [22 55] Additionally GFRP is muchcheaper than CFRP+erefore GFRP is used in this paper+etensile strength and modulus of GFRP unidirectional fibresheets provided by the manufacturers are 3241MPa and72397MPa respectively [56] while the thickness is 0589mm[56] Figure 4 shows the design of GFRP wraps in which theplastic hinges of columns are wrapped by a number of GFRPplies To avoid stress concentration leading to early failure ofGFRP at corners rounding corners of columns should beconducted before applying the GFRP wraps [57] Rounding50mm at column corners [23 41] is adopted in this study andis shown in Figure 4

42 Inelastic Analyses of RC Frame Retrofitted by FRPConfinement Because the FRP wraps is in the orientation ofthe transverse reinforcement the strength and stiffness of FRPin the longitudinal direction of columns (axial axis of col-umns) can be neglected [41]+e effect of FRPwraps results inthe improvement of stress-strain behaviour of concrete thusthe moment-curvature analyses of sections confined by FRPare almost similar to moment-curvature analyses presentedSection 31 +e difference is that the stress-strain model ofFRP-confined concrete is taken into account +e confine-ment effect of GFRP wraps increases the compressive strengthand ultimate strain of concrete thus it has marginal effect onthe plastic hinge locations of FRP-confined columns asproven in [29] +erefore the locations of plastic hinges inbeams and columns of the retrofitted frame are unchangedcompared with those of the original frame

+e stress-strain behaviour of FRP-confined concretehas been studied by many researchers [25 26 54 58ndash60] andit is concluded that the strength and ductility of concreteincrease significantly Review on FRP-confined concretemodels has been performed by Ozbakkaloglu et al [61] forcircular sections and Rocca et al [62] for noncircular sec-tions Overall the available models of FRP-confined con-crete can be categorized into two types with and withoutincluding the internal effect of transverse reinforcementBoth transverse reinforcement and FRP provides confine-ment for the concrete core surrounded by transverse rein-forcement while only FRP provides confinement to thecover concrete +e models of FRP-confined concrete si-multaneously considering both confinement effects of FRPand transverse reinforcement are often complex due to theinteraction between the internal and external confinements

Additionally the external confinement caused by FRP ismuch stronger than the poor internal confinement caused bythe deficient transverse reinforcement +is stronger con-finement of FRP can be proven by the fact that after thestrain 0002 (approximately) the stress-strain branch of theFRP-confined concrete model ascends while that of thetransverse-reinforcement confined concrete model de-scends In addition the purpose of FRP wraps is to provideadditional confinement to poorly confined RC members+erefore for simplification the poor internal confinementof transverse reinforcement is neglected in this study

+ere are several stress-strain models [25 54 63ndash65] forconcrete confined by FRP wraps available in the literatureAmongst these Lam and Teng [25 54] model is simple butadequately accurate and is adopted in ACI code [66] Inaddition this model was the most appropriate for circularand rectangular columns as proven by Rocca et al [67] andhas been used by many researchers [23 55 67] +us theLam and Teng [25 54] stress-strain model for FRP-confinedconcrete is selected to use in this paper Figure 5 illustratesthe Lam and Teng [25 54] model which includes two partsthe parabolic curve (branch OA) expressed by equation (8)and the linear branch (AB) expressed by equation (9) +eparameters of the model are defined in equations (10)ndash(19)

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the retrofitted frames+e hysteretic behaviours of nonlinear elementsobtained in Step 6 were then exported to Excel andprocessed in MATLAB [43] to compute damageindices +e damage mode of RS1 is plotted inFigure 16(b)

(viii) Step 8 evaluate the damage using the damageindex criterion DIle [DI]+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinges of the RS1 All plastic hinge lo-cations satisfy this condition so go to Step 9

(ix) Step 9 evaluate the damage distribution in thestructureWhen the quantitative criterion DI le [DI] issatisfied for all plastic hinges the qualitativecriterion on the damage distribution in the frameis evaluated +e damage mode shown inFigure 16(b) is used to evaluate the damagedistribution in the frame For storey 1 the damageindices of the two inner columns are much largerthan those of the two outer columns +e FRPadjustment can be made so that the damage in-dices of columns in the same storey should besimilar Ideally the damage indices of the lowerstoreys should be less or equal than those of thehigher storey because the lower storeys are moreimportant than the higher storeysAdditional redesign of FRP by adding one ply toplastic hinges at the bottom ends of the innercolumns of the first storey is conducted +is FRPretrofitted structure is called RS2 +e procedure issimilar and the result is shown in Figure 16(c) +edamage index decreases from 0107 to 0077For comparison the frame retrofitted by evendistribution of FRP was also carried out One FRPply was applied for all plastic hinges and thisretrofitted frame is called RS0 +e number 0denotes that the frame is retrofitted without usingthe proposed retrofitting approach ITH anddamage analyses of this frame RS0 were performedand the damage state is plotted in Figure 16(d)Although all plastic hinges of the frame were ap-plied by two FRP plies the damage state of RS0 isworse than the damage states of RS1 and RS2For further comparison the maximum damageindex of each storey was used to plot the damagedistribution of storeys +e storey damage distri-butions of the original RS0 RS1 and RS2 areshown in Figure 17 +e damage state of the frameusing the proposed retrofitting approach is sig-nificantly improved showing the technical effec-tiveness of the proposed approach+e comparison in terms of retrofitting cost is alsocarried as follows +e amount of FRP used for theretrofitted frame RS0 RS1 and RS2 were com-puted and plotted in Figure 18 In order to plot the

Based on the damage distribution of the frame RS1 andthe importance of lower storeys the frame RS1 wasretrofitted by adding 1 FRP ply to plastic hinges at thebottom ends of storey 1 inner columns and the plastichinges of inner columns of storey 3 making the

number of FRP plies respectively increase to 3 and 2for these locations and this frame is called RS2 +edamage state of the frame RS2 is shown in Figure 19(c)+ese analyses were also performed for the frameretrofitted by 1 FRP ply for all plastic hinges +is

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

(v) Step 5 FRP retrofit based on damage distributionDue to the deficiency of internal confinement FRPwraps are applied to the plastic hinge locations to

provide external confinement +e design of FRPconfinement is presented in Section 41 +edamage distribution in the frame is then used todistribute the FRP in amanner that one or two FRPplies are applied for severe damage locations wherethe damage indices are larger than the allowabledamage index [DI] No FRP is applied for thelocations with no or minor damage +is simpleFRP distribution directly aims at severe andmoderate damage locations making the retrofit-ting approach become more effective

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the FRP retrofitted frame+is step is similar to Step 3 however the FRPconfinement is included +e analyses for prop-erties of FRP-confined RC plastic hinges are pre-sented in Section 42 while ITH analyses of the FRPretrofitted frames are presented in Section 31

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the FRP retrofittedframesSimilar to Step 4 the hysteretic behaviours ofplastic hinges are exported in the form of Exceldata files which are then processed in MATLAB[43] and the damage of plastic hinges is quan-tified by the damage index +e damage indicesare plotted to obtain the damage distribution inthe frame Evaluation of damage distribution iscarried out to provide information for FRP re-distribution and adjustment in the frame +edetails of damage analyses are presented inSection 32

(viii) Step 8 check the quantitative condition DIle [DI](quantitative criterion)+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinge locations If there are plastic hingelocations whose damage indices are not satisfiedthis condition the FRP retrofitting for those lo-cations is redesigned by applying one additionalFRP ply thus go back to Step 5 Otherwise go toStep 9For special situations of finance the redesignshould aim at not only at the locations whosedamage index is larger than the allowable damageindex but also the locations whose damage indicesare too small A simple rule can be applied de-crease one ply for plastic hinge where the damageindex is much smaller than the [DI] and increaseone ply for plastic hinges where DIgt [DI]

(ix) Step 9 evaluating the damage distribution (qual-itative criterion)When the quantitative condition DIle [DI] issatisfied the distribution of damage in the frame isqualitatively evaluated +is step is conductedbased on the importance of storeys and elementsFor example the storey i is more important thanstorey i+ (the above storeys) while it is less im-portant than the storey i minus (the below storeys) +elowest storey can be the most important while the

3 ITH and Damage Analyses

31 ITH Analyses Under earthquake excitations inelasticdeformation is often developed at the critical regions ofplastic hinges +e lump plasticity technique was employedfor nonlinear modelling in this study +e details of themodelling were described in [22] thus only brief de-scription is presented herein for convenience to readersLinear and nonlinear elements were employed for themodelling+e nonlinear elements were used to capture thenonlinear and hysteretic behaviours of plastic hinges +elocations of nonlinear elements are at the centers of plastichinges of beams and columns Figure 2(a) shows the modelof a four-storey three-bay frame +e locations of inelasticelements of beams are located at (hcolumn + lpbeam)2 wherelpbeam is the plastic hinge lengths of beams and hcolumn is theheight of the column sections Similarly the locations ofinelastic elements of columns are located at(hbeam + lpcolumn)2 where lpcolumn is the plastic hingelengths of columns and hbeam is the height of the beamsections

+e inelastic behaviours of plastic hinges are capturedusing a hysteretic model Several hysteretic models areavailable in the literature however majority of thesemodels excludes the crack of concrete in tension zone whilethe Takeda hysteretic model [44] includes the concretecracking +us the Takeda model is selected for damageanalyses in this paper because the crack of concrete can beconsidered as the onset of damage Figure 2(b) shows theTakeda hysteretic model [44] developed based on the force-deformation curve including the crack point (Dcr Pcr) andthe yield point (Dy Py) Details of this model can be foundelsewhere [44]

+e properties of nonlinear elements are moment-ro-tation curves of plastic hinges +ese moment-rotationcurves are obtained using the moment-curvature curves andthe plastic hinge lengths In this paper the simple model ofplastic hinge length lp h proposed by Sheikh and Khoury[45] is adopted while the moment-curvature curves areobtained using fibre model In moment-curvature analysesusing fibre model the cross section is discretized into manyfibres as shown in Figure 3(a) which are assumed to ex-perience pure longitudinal deformation +e distribution ofstrain in a cross section is assumed to be linear as shown inFigure 3(b) +e maximum compressive strain εm and theposition of the neutral axis Zn are used to determine thestrain distribution in the section Correspondingly thecurvature is computed as φ εmZn

+e position of neutral axis Zn is found when the forceequilibrium is attained +e force equilibrium is establishedbased on the fibre forces which are the products of fibre stressesand the fibre cross-sectional areas and the axial force N actingon the section For each fibre the strain at the fibre centroid is

used to compute the fibre stress using the stress-strain be-haviour of fibre material Amongst several stress-strain models[46ndash52] proposed for concrete Park et alrsquos [52] model takesinto account the enhancement of the maximum stress and thestrain at maximum stress due to the confinement effects thusthis model is used in this paper Equations (1) and (2) show therelationship between the stress fc and the strain εc of concrete+e parameters of themodel are shown in equations (3)ndash(6) inwhich ρs is the ratio of the volume of transverse reinforcementto that of the concrete surrounded by the transverse rein-forcement fc

32 Damage Analyses +e hysteretic behaviours of non-linear elements obtained from ITH analyses are exportedfor damage analyses using a damage model Comparedwith noncumulative damage models cumulative damagemodels are more appropriate for damage analyses ofstructures subjected to earthquake excitations because theduration number of cycles and frequency content of theground motions play important roles in damaging struc-tures In addition the magnitude of damage index shouldvary from 0 to 1 DI 0 refers to the state of no damagewhile DI 1 refers to the state of collapse +e damagemodel proposed by Cao et al [53] shown in equation (7)satisfied the just-mentioned characteristics and is used inthis paper

4 Design and Analyses of FRPRetrofitted Frames

41 Design of FRP Confinement Providing external con-finement using FRP wraps is an appropriate retrofittingsolution applied to structures whose transverse steel inad-equately confines the concrete FRP wraps are applied to theplastic hinges of columns in the orientation of transversereinforcement to confine concrete leading to the

enhancement of strength and ductility for concrete +elength of columns on which FRP wraps are applied isassumed to be twice the plastic hinge length lp

+e effectiveness of FRP retrofitting depends on severalfactors such as the mechanical properties of FRP the di-mensions and shapes of cross sections and the strength ofunconfined concrete For a given FRP type and the crosssection the total thickness of FRP is of importance in FRPretrofitting which governs the strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete [41] as can be apparent in the Lam andTeng model [25 54] +e thickness of one FRP ply is pro-duced by manufacturers and is a constant +erefore thenumber of FRP plies is considered as a variable for theretrofitting design In this study the cost of FRP retrofittingis directly inferred from the amount of FRP It should be

mentioned herein that the cost of FRP retrofitting alsodepends on the number of plastic hinges retrofitted by FRPdue to the labour work and time of FRP installation Forexample with a similar amount of FRP the retrofittingsolution with fewer locations of FRP installation could beless labour work and shorter installation time and such asolution is therefore cheaper

+e effectiveness of FRPwraps to improve the compressivestrength and ductility of concrete has been widely confirmed inthe literature +e tensile strength and modulus of GFRP aremuch lower than those of CFRP providing larger displacementductility for concrete consequently the aims of confinementand ductility improvement are better achieved by GFRP thanCFRP as confirmed in [22 55] Additionally GFRP is muchcheaper than CFRP+erefore GFRP is used in this paper+etensile strength and modulus of GFRP unidirectional fibresheets provided by the manufacturers are 3241MPa and72397MPa respectively [56] while the thickness is 0589mm[56] Figure 4 shows the design of GFRP wraps in which theplastic hinges of columns are wrapped by a number of GFRPplies To avoid stress concentration leading to early failure ofGFRP at corners rounding corners of columns should beconducted before applying the GFRP wraps [57] Rounding50mm at column corners [23 41] is adopted in this study andis shown in Figure 4

42 Inelastic Analyses of RC Frame Retrofitted by FRPConfinement Because the FRP wraps is in the orientation ofthe transverse reinforcement the strength and stiffness of FRPin the longitudinal direction of columns (axial axis of col-umns) can be neglected [41]+e effect of FRPwraps results inthe improvement of stress-strain behaviour of concrete thusthe moment-curvature analyses of sections confined by FRPare almost similar to moment-curvature analyses presentedSection 31 +e difference is that the stress-strain model ofFRP-confined concrete is taken into account +e confine-ment effect of GFRP wraps increases the compressive strengthand ultimate strain of concrete thus it has marginal effect onthe plastic hinge locations of FRP-confined columns asproven in [29] +erefore the locations of plastic hinges inbeams and columns of the retrofitted frame are unchangedcompared with those of the original frame

+e stress-strain behaviour of FRP-confined concretehas been studied by many researchers [25 26 54 58ndash60] andit is concluded that the strength and ductility of concreteincrease significantly Review on FRP-confined concretemodels has been performed by Ozbakkaloglu et al [61] forcircular sections and Rocca et al [62] for noncircular sec-tions Overall the available models of FRP-confined con-crete can be categorized into two types with and withoutincluding the internal effect of transverse reinforcementBoth transverse reinforcement and FRP provides confine-ment for the concrete core surrounded by transverse rein-forcement while only FRP provides confinement to thecover concrete +e models of FRP-confined concrete si-multaneously considering both confinement effects of FRPand transverse reinforcement are often complex due to theinteraction between the internal and external confinements

Additionally the external confinement caused by FRP ismuch stronger than the poor internal confinement caused bythe deficient transverse reinforcement +is stronger con-finement of FRP can be proven by the fact that after thestrain 0002 (approximately) the stress-strain branch of theFRP-confined concrete model ascends while that of thetransverse-reinforcement confined concrete model de-scends In addition the purpose of FRP wraps is to provideadditional confinement to poorly confined RC members+erefore for simplification the poor internal confinementof transverse reinforcement is neglected in this study

+ere are several stress-strain models [25 54 63ndash65] forconcrete confined by FRP wraps available in the literatureAmongst these Lam and Teng [25 54] model is simple butadequately accurate and is adopted in ACI code [66] Inaddition this model was the most appropriate for circularand rectangular columns as proven by Rocca et al [67] andhas been used by many researchers [23 55 67] +us theLam and Teng [25 54] stress-strain model for FRP-confinedconcrete is selected to use in this paper Figure 5 illustratesthe Lam and Teng [25 54] model which includes two partsthe parabolic curve (branch OA) expressed by equation (8)and the linear branch (AB) expressed by equation (9) +eparameters of the model are defined in equations (10)ndash(19)

(v) Step 5 retrofit of structures based on damagedistribution+e damage distribution shown in Figure 16(a)provides a clear picture of damage mode whichis useful to distribute the FRP correspondinglyin which the larger amount of FRP is saved forthe locations with severe damage while no FRPis applied to the locations with no or minordamage By observing the damage distributionin Figure 16(a) the two inner columns of thefirst storey suffered severe damage () whilethe two outer columns of the first storey and thetwo inner columns of the second storey expe-rienced light damage (+) Two FRP ply wasapplied to these locations Other locations in theframe such as beams of all storeys and columnsof the third and the fourth storey have minordamage () thus FRP was not applied to theseminor damage locations +is FRP retrofittedframe is called RS1 which stands for retrofittedstructure in the first time using the proposedapproach

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the retrofitted framesAfter the frame was retrofitted in Step 5 using theproposed retrofitting approach ITH analyses of thisFRP retrofitted frame (RS1) subjected to the selected8 ground motions were carried out +e analyticaldetails of the retrofitted frame are presented inSection 3 with the inclusion of the FRP confinement

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the retrofitted frames+e hysteretic behaviours of nonlinear elementsobtained in Step 6 were then exported to Excel andprocessed in MATLAB [43] to compute damageindices +e damage mode of RS1 is plotted inFigure 16(b)

(viii) Step 8 evaluate the damage using the damageindex criterion DIle [DI]+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinges of the RS1 All plastic hinge lo-cations satisfy this condition so go to Step 9

(ix) Step 9 evaluate the damage distribution in thestructureWhen the quantitative criterion DI le [DI] issatisfied for all plastic hinges the qualitativecriterion on the damage distribution in the frameis evaluated +e damage mode shown inFigure 16(b) is used to evaluate the damagedistribution in the frame For storey 1 the damageindices of the two inner columns are much largerthan those of the two outer columns +e FRPadjustment can be made so that the damage in-dices of columns in the same storey should besimilar Ideally the damage indices of the lowerstoreys should be less or equal than those of thehigher storey because the lower storeys are moreimportant than the higher storeysAdditional redesign of FRP by adding one ply toplastic hinges at the bottom ends of the innercolumns of the first storey is conducted +is FRPretrofitted structure is called RS2 +e procedure issimilar and the result is shown in Figure 16(c) +edamage index decreases from 0107 to 0077For comparison the frame retrofitted by evendistribution of FRP was also carried out One FRPply was applied for all plastic hinges and thisretrofitted frame is called RS0 +e number 0denotes that the frame is retrofitted without usingthe proposed retrofitting approach ITH anddamage analyses of this frame RS0 were performedand the damage state is plotted in Figure 16(d)Although all plastic hinges of the frame were ap-plied by two FRP plies the damage state of RS0 isworse than the damage states of RS1 and RS2For further comparison the maximum damageindex of each storey was used to plot the damagedistribution of storeys +e storey damage distri-butions of the original RS0 RS1 and RS2 areshown in Figure 17 +e damage state of the frameusing the proposed retrofitting approach is sig-nificantly improved showing the technical effec-tiveness of the proposed approach+e comparison in terms of retrofitting cost is alsocarried as follows +e amount of FRP used for theretrofitted frame RS0 RS1 and RS2 were com-puted and plotted in Figure 18 In order to plot the

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

3 ITH and Damage Analyses

31 ITH Analyses Under earthquake excitations inelasticdeformation is often developed at the critical regions ofplastic hinges +e lump plasticity technique was employedfor nonlinear modelling in this study +e details of themodelling were described in [22] thus only brief de-scription is presented herein for convenience to readersLinear and nonlinear elements were employed for themodelling+e nonlinear elements were used to capture thenonlinear and hysteretic behaviours of plastic hinges +elocations of nonlinear elements are at the centers of plastichinges of beams and columns Figure 2(a) shows the modelof a four-storey three-bay frame +e locations of inelasticelements of beams are located at (hcolumn + lpbeam)2 wherelpbeam is the plastic hinge lengths of beams and hcolumn is theheight of the column sections Similarly the locations ofinelastic elements of columns are located at(hbeam + lpcolumn)2 where lpcolumn is the plastic hingelengths of columns and hbeam is the height of the beamsections

+e inelastic behaviours of plastic hinges are capturedusing a hysteretic model Several hysteretic models areavailable in the literature however majority of thesemodels excludes the crack of concrete in tension zone whilethe Takeda hysteretic model [44] includes the concretecracking +us the Takeda model is selected for damageanalyses in this paper because the crack of concrete can beconsidered as the onset of damage Figure 2(b) shows theTakeda hysteretic model [44] developed based on the force-deformation curve including the crack point (Dcr Pcr) andthe yield point (Dy Py) Details of this model can be foundelsewhere [44]

+e properties of nonlinear elements are moment-ro-tation curves of plastic hinges +ese moment-rotationcurves are obtained using the moment-curvature curves andthe plastic hinge lengths In this paper the simple model ofplastic hinge length lp h proposed by Sheikh and Khoury[45] is adopted while the moment-curvature curves areobtained using fibre model In moment-curvature analysesusing fibre model the cross section is discretized into manyfibres as shown in Figure 3(a) which are assumed to ex-perience pure longitudinal deformation +e distribution ofstrain in a cross section is assumed to be linear as shown inFigure 3(b) +e maximum compressive strain εm and theposition of the neutral axis Zn are used to determine thestrain distribution in the section Correspondingly thecurvature is computed as φ εmZn

+e position of neutral axis Zn is found when the forceequilibrium is attained +e force equilibrium is establishedbased on the fibre forces which are the products of fibre stressesand the fibre cross-sectional areas and the axial force N actingon the section For each fibre the strain at the fibre centroid is

used to compute the fibre stress using the stress-strain be-haviour of fibre material Amongst several stress-strain models[46ndash52] proposed for concrete Park et alrsquos [52] model takesinto account the enhancement of the maximum stress and thestrain at maximum stress due to the confinement effects thusthis model is used in this paper Equations (1) and (2) show therelationship between the stress fc and the strain εc of concrete+e parameters of themodel are shown in equations (3)ndash(6) inwhich ρs is the ratio of the volume of transverse reinforcementto that of the concrete surrounded by the transverse rein-forcement fc

32 Damage Analyses +e hysteretic behaviours of non-linear elements obtained from ITH analyses are exportedfor damage analyses using a damage model Comparedwith noncumulative damage models cumulative damagemodels are more appropriate for damage analyses ofstructures subjected to earthquake excitations because theduration number of cycles and frequency content of theground motions play important roles in damaging struc-tures In addition the magnitude of damage index shouldvary from 0 to 1 DI 0 refers to the state of no damagewhile DI 1 refers to the state of collapse +e damagemodel proposed by Cao et al [53] shown in equation (7)satisfied the just-mentioned characteristics and is used inthis paper

4 Design and Analyses of FRPRetrofitted Frames

41 Design of FRP Confinement Providing external con-finement using FRP wraps is an appropriate retrofittingsolution applied to structures whose transverse steel inad-equately confines the concrete FRP wraps are applied to theplastic hinges of columns in the orientation of transversereinforcement to confine concrete leading to the

enhancement of strength and ductility for concrete +elength of columns on which FRP wraps are applied isassumed to be twice the plastic hinge length lp

+e effectiveness of FRP retrofitting depends on severalfactors such as the mechanical properties of FRP the di-mensions and shapes of cross sections and the strength ofunconfined concrete For a given FRP type and the crosssection the total thickness of FRP is of importance in FRPretrofitting which governs the strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete [41] as can be apparent in the Lam andTeng model [25 54] +e thickness of one FRP ply is pro-duced by manufacturers and is a constant +erefore thenumber of FRP plies is considered as a variable for theretrofitting design In this study the cost of FRP retrofittingis directly inferred from the amount of FRP It should be

mentioned herein that the cost of FRP retrofitting alsodepends on the number of plastic hinges retrofitted by FRPdue to the labour work and time of FRP installation Forexample with a similar amount of FRP the retrofittingsolution with fewer locations of FRP installation could beless labour work and shorter installation time and such asolution is therefore cheaper

+e effectiveness of FRPwraps to improve the compressivestrength and ductility of concrete has been widely confirmed inthe literature +e tensile strength and modulus of GFRP aremuch lower than those of CFRP providing larger displacementductility for concrete consequently the aims of confinementand ductility improvement are better achieved by GFRP thanCFRP as confirmed in [22 55] Additionally GFRP is muchcheaper than CFRP+erefore GFRP is used in this paper+etensile strength and modulus of GFRP unidirectional fibresheets provided by the manufacturers are 3241MPa and72397MPa respectively [56] while the thickness is 0589mm[56] Figure 4 shows the design of GFRP wraps in which theplastic hinges of columns are wrapped by a number of GFRPplies To avoid stress concentration leading to early failure ofGFRP at corners rounding corners of columns should beconducted before applying the GFRP wraps [57] Rounding50mm at column corners [23 41] is adopted in this study andis shown in Figure 4

42 Inelastic Analyses of RC Frame Retrofitted by FRPConfinement Because the FRP wraps is in the orientation ofthe transverse reinforcement the strength and stiffness of FRPin the longitudinal direction of columns (axial axis of col-umns) can be neglected [41]+e effect of FRPwraps results inthe improvement of stress-strain behaviour of concrete thusthe moment-curvature analyses of sections confined by FRPare almost similar to moment-curvature analyses presentedSection 31 +e difference is that the stress-strain model ofFRP-confined concrete is taken into account +e confine-ment effect of GFRP wraps increases the compressive strengthand ultimate strain of concrete thus it has marginal effect onthe plastic hinge locations of FRP-confined columns asproven in [29] +erefore the locations of plastic hinges inbeams and columns of the retrofitted frame are unchangedcompared with those of the original frame

+e stress-strain behaviour of FRP-confined concretehas been studied by many researchers [25 26 54 58ndash60] andit is concluded that the strength and ductility of concreteincrease significantly Review on FRP-confined concretemodels has been performed by Ozbakkaloglu et al [61] forcircular sections and Rocca et al [62] for noncircular sec-tions Overall the available models of FRP-confined con-crete can be categorized into two types with and withoutincluding the internal effect of transverse reinforcementBoth transverse reinforcement and FRP provides confine-ment for the concrete core surrounded by transverse rein-forcement while only FRP provides confinement to thecover concrete +e models of FRP-confined concrete si-multaneously considering both confinement effects of FRPand transverse reinforcement are often complex due to theinteraction between the internal and external confinements

Additionally the external confinement caused by FRP ismuch stronger than the poor internal confinement caused bythe deficient transverse reinforcement +is stronger con-finement of FRP can be proven by the fact that after thestrain 0002 (approximately) the stress-strain branch of theFRP-confined concrete model ascends while that of thetransverse-reinforcement confined concrete model de-scends In addition the purpose of FRP wraps is to provideadditional confinement to poorly confined RC members+erefore for simplification the poor internal confinementof transverse reinforcement is neglected in this study

+ere are several stress-strain models [25 54 63ndash65] forconcrete confined by FRP wraps available in the literatureAmongst these Lam and Teng [25 54] model is simple butadequately accurate and is adopted in ACI code [66] Inaddition this model was the most appropriate for circularand rectangular columns as proven by Rocca et al [67] andhas been used by many researchers [23 55 67] +us theLam and Teng [25 54] stress-strain model for FRP-confinedconcrete is selected to use in this paper Figure 5 illustratesthe Lam and Teng [25 54] model which includes two partsthe parabolic curve (branch OA) expressed by equation (8)and the linear branch (AB) expressed by equation (9) +eparameters of the model are defined in equations (10)ndash(19)

(v) Step 5 retrofit of structures based on damagedistribution+e damage distribution shown in Figure 16(a)provides a clear picture of damage mode whichis useful to distribute the FRP correspondinglyin which the larger amount of FRP is saved forthe locations with severe damage while no FRPis applied to the locations with no or minordamage By observing the damage distributionin Figure 16(a) the two inner columns of thefirst storey suffered severe damage () whilethe two outer columns of the first storey and thetwo inner columns of the second storey expe-rienced light damage (+) Two FRP ply wasapplied to these locations Other locations in theframe such as beams of all storeys and columnsof the third and the fourth storey have minordamage () thus FRP was not applied to theseminor damage locations +is FRP retrofittedframe is called RS1 which stands for retrofittedstructure in the first time using the proposedapproach

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the retrofitted framesAfter the frame was retrofitted in Step 5 using theproposed retrofitting approach ITH analyses of thisFRP retrofitted frame (RS1) subjected to the selected8 ground motions were carried out +e analyticaldetails of the retrofitted frame are presented inSection 3 with the inclusion of the FRP confinement

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the retrofitted frames+e hysteretic behaviours of nonlinear elementsobtained in Step 6 were then exported to Excel andprocessed in MATLAB [43] to compute damageindices +e damage mode of RS1 is plotted inFigure 16(b)

(viii) Step 8 evaluate the damage using the damageindex criterion DIle [DI]+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinges of the RS1 All plastic hinge lo-cations satisfy this condition so go to Step 9

(ix) Step 9 evaluate the damage distribution in thestructureWhen the quantitative criterion DI le [DI] issatisfied for all plastic hinges the qualitativecriterion on the damage distribution in the frameis evaluated +e damage mode shown inFigure 16(b) is used to evaluate the damagedistribution in the frame For storey 1 the damageindices of the two inner columns are much largerthan those of the two outer columns +e FRPadjustment can be made so that the damage in-dices of columns in the same storey should besimilar Ideally the damage indices of the lowerstoreys should be less or equal than those of thehigher storey because the lower storeys are moreimportant than the higher storeysAdditional redesign of FRP by adding one ply toplastic hinges at the bottom ends of the innercolumns of the first storey is conducted +is FRPretrofitted structure is called RS2 +e procedure issimilar and the result is shown in Figure 16(c) +edamage index decreases from 0107 to 0077For comparison the frame retrofitted by evendistribution of FRP was also carried out One FRPply was applied for all plastic hinges and thisretrofitted frame is called RS0 +e number 0denotes that the frame is retrofitted without usingthe proposed retrofitting approach ITH anddamage analyses of this frame RS0 were performedand the damage state is plotted in Figure 16(d)Although all plastic hinges of the frame were ap-plied by two FRP plies the damage state of RS0 isworse than the damage states of RS1 and RS2For further comparison the maximum damageindex of each storey was used to plot the damagedistribution of storeys +e storey damage distri-butions of the original RS0 RS1 and RS2 areshown in Figure 17 +e damage state of the frameusing the proposed retrofitting approach is sig-nificantly improved showing the technical effec-tiveness of the proposed approach+e comparison in terms of retrofitting cost is alsocarried as follows +e amount of FRP used for theretrofitted frame RS0 RS1 and RS2 were com-puted and plotted in Figure 18 In order to plot the

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

4 Design and Analyses of FRPRetrofitted Frames

41 Design of FRP Confinement Providing external con-finement using FRP wraps is an appropriate retrofittingsolution applied to structures whose transverse steel inad-equately confines the concrete FRP wraps are applied to theplastic hinges of columns in the orientation of transversereinforcement to confine concrete leading to the

enhancement of strength and ductility for concrete +elength of columns on which FRP wraps are applied isassumed to be twice the plastic hinge length lp

+e effectiveness of FRP retrofitting depends on severalfactors such as the mechanical properties of FRP the di-mensions and shapes of cross sections and the strength ofunconfined concrete For a given FRP type and the crosssection the total thickness of FRP is of importance in FRPretrofitting which governs the strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete [41] as can be apparent in the Lam andTeng model [25 54] +e thickness of one FRP ply is pro-duced by manufacturers and is a constant +erefore thenumber of FRP plies is considered as a variable for theretrofitting design In this study the cost of FRP retrofittingis directly inferred from the amount of FRP It should be

mentioned herein that the cost of FRP retrofitting alsodepends on the number of plastic hinges retrofitted by FRPdue to the labour work and time of FRP installation Forexample with a similar amount of FRP the retrofittingsolution with fewer locations of FRP installation could beless labour work and shorter installation time and such asolution is therefore cheaper

+e effectiveness of FRPwraps to improve the compressivestrength and ductility of concrete has been widely confirmed inthe literature +e tensile strength and modulus of GFRP aremuch lower than those of CFRP providing larger displacementductility for concrete consequently the aims of confinementand ductility improvement are better achieved by GFRP thanCFRP as confirmed in [22 55] Additionally GFRP is muchcheaper than CFRP+erefore GFRP is used in this paper+etensile strength and modulus of GFRP unidirectional fibresheets provided by the manufacturers are 3241MPa and72397MPa respectively [56] while the thickness is 0589mm[56] Figure 4 shows the design of GFRP wraps in which theplastic hinges of columns are wrapped by a number of GFRPplies To avoid stress concentration leading to early failure ofGFRP at corners rounding corners of columns should beconducted before applying the GFRP wraps [57] Rounding50mm at column corners [23 41] is adopted in this study andis shown in Figure 4

42 Inelastic Analyses of RC Frame Retrofitted by FRPConfinement Because the FRP wraps is in the orientation ofthe transverse reinforcement the strength and stiffness of FRPin the longitudinal direction of columns (axial axis of col-umns) can be neglected [41]+e effect of FRPwraps results inthe improvement of stress-strain behaviour of concrete thusthe moment-curvature analyses of sections confined by FRPare almost similar to moment-curvature analyses presentedSection 31 +e difference is that the stress-strain model ofFRP-confined concrete is taken into account +e confine-ment effect of GFRP wraps increases the compressive strengthand ultimate strain of concrete thus it has marginal effect onthe plastic hinge locations of FRP-confined columns asproven in [29] +erefore the locations of plastic hinges inbeams and columns of the retrofitted frame are unchangedcompared with those of the original frame

+e stress-strain behaviour of FRP-confined concretehas been studied by many researchers [25 26 54 58ndash60] andit is concluded that the strength and ductility of concreteincrease significantly Review on FRP-confined concretemodels has been performed by Ozbakkaloglu et al [61] forcircular sections and Rocca et al [62] for noncircular sec-tions Overall the available models of FRP-confined con-crete can be categorized into two types with and withoutincluding the internal effect of transverse reinforcementBoth transverse reinforcement and FRP provides confine-ment for the concrete core surrounded by transverse rein-forcement while only FRP provides confinement to thecover concrete +e models of FRP-confined concrete si-multaneously considering both confinement effects of FRPand transverse reinforcement are often complex due to theinteraction between the internal and external confinements

Additionally the external confinement caused by FRP ismuch stronger than the poor internal confinement caused bythe deficient transverse reinforcement +is stronger con-finement of FRP can be proven by the fact that after thestrain 0002 (approximately) the stress-strain branch of theFRP-confined concrete model ascends while that of thetransverse-reinforcement confined concrete model de-scends In addition the purpose of FRP wraps is to provideadditional confinement to poorly confined RC members+erefore for simplification the poor internal confinementof transverse reinforcement is neglected in this study

+ere are several stress-strain models [25 54 63ndash65] forconcrete confined by FRP wraps available in the literatureAmongst these Lam and Teng [25 54] model is simple butadequately accurate and is adopted in ACI code [66] Inaddition this model was the most appropriate for circularand rectangular columns as proven by Rocca et al [67] andhas been used by many researchers [23 55 67] +us theLam and Teng [25 54] stress-strain model for FRP-confinedconcrete is selected to use in this paper Figure 5 illustratesthe Lam and Teng [25 54] model which includes two partsthe parabolic curve (branch OA) expressed by equation (8)and the linear branch (AB) expressed by equation (9) +eparameters of the model are defined in equations (10)ndash(19)

(v) Step 5 retrofit of structures based on damagedistribution+e damage distribution shown in Figure 16(a)provides a clear picture of damage mode whichis useful to distribute the FRP correspondinglyin which the larger amount of FRP is saved forthe locations with severe damage while no FRPis applied to the locations with no or minordamage By observing the damage distributionin Figure 16(a) the two inner columns of thefirst storey suffered severe damage () whilethe two outer columns of the first storey and thetwo inner columns of the second storey expe-rienced light damage (+) Two FRP ply wasapplied to these locations Other locations in theframe such as beams of all storeys and columnsof the third and the fourth storey have minordamage () thus FRP was not applied to theseminor damage locations +is FRP retrofittedframe is called RS1 which stands for retrofittedstructure in the first time using the proposedapproach

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the retrofitted framesAfter the frame was retrofitted in Step 5 using theproposed retrofitting approach ITH analyses of thisFRP retrofitted frame (RS1) subjected to the selected8 ground motions were carried out +e analyticaldetails of the retrofitted frame are presented inSection 3 with the inclusion of the FRP confinement

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the retrofitted frames+e hysteretic behaviours of nonlinear elementsobtained in Step 6 were then exported to Excel andprocessed in MATLAB [43] to compute damageindices +e damage mode of RS1 is plotted inFigure 16(b)

(viii) Step 8 evaluate the damage using the damageindex criterion DIle [DI]+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinges of the RS1 All plastic hinge lo-cations satisfy this condition so go to Step 9

(ix) Step 9 evaluate the damage distribution in thestructureWhen the quantitative criterion DI le [DI] issatisfied for all plastic hinges the qualitativecriterion on the damage distribution in the frameis evaluated +e damage mode shown inFigure 16(b) is used to evaluate the damagedistribution in the frame For storey 1 the damageindices of the two inner columns are much largerthan those of the two outer columns +e FRPadjustment can be made so that the damage in-dices of columns in the same storey should besimilar Ideally the damage indices of the lowerstoreys should be less or equal than those of thehigher storey because the lower storeys are moreimportant than the higher storeysAdditional redesign of FRP by adding one ply toplastic hinges at the bottom ends of the innercolumns of the first storey is conducted +is FRPretrofitted structure is called RS2 +e procedure issimilar and the result is shown in Figure 16(c) +edamage index decreases from 0107 to 0077For comparison the frame retrofitted by evendistribution of FRP was also carried out One FRPply was applied for all plastic hinges and thisretrofitted frame is called RS0 +e number 0denotes that the frame is retrofitted without usingthe proposed retrofitting approach ITH anddamage analyses of this frame RS0 were performedand the damage state is plotted in Figure 16(d)Although all plastic hinges of the frame were ap-plied by two FRP plies the damage state of RS0 isworse than the damage states of RS1 and RS2For further comparison the maximum damageindex of each storey was used to plot the damagedistribution of storeys +e storey damage distri-butions of the original RS0 RS1 and RS2 areshown in Figure 17 +e damage state of the frameusing the proposed retrofitting approach is sig-nificantly improved showing the technical effec-tiveness of the proposed approach+e comparison in terms of retrofitting cost is alsocarried as follows +e amount of FRP used for theretrofitted frame RS0 RS1 and RS2 were com-puted and plotted in Figure 18 In order to plot the

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

mentioned herein that the cost of FRP retrofitting alsodepends on the number of plastic hinges retrofitted by FRPdue to the labour work and time of FRP installation Forexample with a similar amount of FRP the retrofittingsolution with fewer locations of FRP installation could beless labour work and shorter installation time and such asolution is therefore cheaper

+e effectiveness of FRPwraps to improve the compressivestrength and ductility of concrete has been widely confirmed inthe literature +e tensile strength and modulus of GFRP aremuch lower than those of CFRP providing larger displacementductility for concrete consequently the aims of confinementand ductility improvement are better achieved by GFRP thanCFRP as confirmed in [22 55] Additionally GFRP is muchcheaper than CFRP+erefore GFRP is used in this paper+etensile strength and modulus of GFRP unidirectional fibresheets provided by the manufacturers are 3241MPa and72397MPa respectively [56] while the thickness is 0589mm[56] Figure 4 shows the design of GFRP wraps in which theplastic hinges of columns are wrapped by a number of GFRPplies To avoid stress concentration leading to early failure ofGFRP at corners rounding corners of columns should beconducted before applying the GFRP wraps [57] Rounding50mm at column corners [23 41] is adopted in this study andis shown in Figure 4

42 Inelastic Analyses of RC Frame Retrofitted by FRPConfinement Because the FRP wraps is in the orientation ofthe transverse reinforcement the strength and stiffness of FRPin the longitudinal direction of columns (axial axis of col-umns) can be neglected [41]+e effect of FRPwraps results inthe improvement of stress-strain behaviour of concrete thusthe moment-curvature analyses of sections confined by FRPare almost similar to moment-curvature analyses presentedSection 31 +e difference is that the stress-strain model ofFRP-confined concrete is taken into account +e confine-ment effect of GFRP wraps increases the compressive strengthand ultimate strain of concrete thus it has marginal effect onthe plastic hinge locations of FRP-confined columns asproven in [29] +erefore the locations of plastic hinges inbeams and columns of the retrofitted frame are unchangedcompared with those of the original frame

+e stress-strain behaviour of FRP-confined concretehas been studied by many researchers [25 26 54 58ndash60] andit is concluded that the strength and ductility of concreteincrease significantly Review on FRP-confined concretemodels has been performed by Ozbakkaloglu et al [61] forcircular sections and Rocca et al [62] for noncircular sec-tions Overall the available models of FRP-confined con-crete can be categorized into two types with and withoutincluding the internal effect of transverse reinforcementBoth transverse reinforcement and FRP provides confine-ment for the concrete core surrounded by transverse rein-forcement while only FRP provides confinement to thecover concrete +e models of FRP-confined concrete si-multaneously considering both confinement effects of FRPand transverse reinforcement are often complex due to theinteraction between the internal and external confinements

Additionally the external confinement caused by FRP ismuch stronger than the poor internal confinement caused bythe deficient transverse reinforcement +is stronger con-finement of FRP can be proven by the fact that after thestrain 0002 (approximately) the stress-strain branch of theFRP-confined concrete model ascends while that of thetransverse-reinforcement confined concrete model de-scends In addition the purpose of FRP wraps is to provideadditional confinement to poorly confined RC members+erefore for simplification the poor internal confinementof transverse reinforcement is neglected in this study

+ere are several stress-strain models [25 54 63ndash65] forconcrete confined by FRP wraps available in the literatureAmongst these Lam and Teng [25 54] model is simple butadequately accurate and is adopted in ACI code [66] Inaddition this model was the most appropriate for circularand rectangular columns as proven by Rocca et al [67] andhas been used by many researchers [23 55 67] +us theLam and Teng [25 54] stress-strain model for FRP-confinedconcrete is selected to use in this paper Figure 5 illustratesthe Lam and Teng [25 54] model which includes two partsthe parabolic curve (branch OA) expressed by equation (8)and the linear branch (AB) expressed by equation (9) +eparameters of the model are defined in equations (10)ndash(19)

be smaller due to the higher stress concentration at cornersand the effect of cyclic loading Recently Baji [70] analysedthe test results of 184 GFRP-confined cylinder specimenssubjected to axial loading and the average value 062 for kε isobtained+is smallest value of 062 which is close to the oneproposed by Lam and Teng [25] was adopted in this paper

(v) Step 5 retrofit of structures based on damagedistribution+e damage distribution shown in Figure 16(a)provides a clear picture of damage mode whichis useful to distribute the FRP correspondinglyin which the larger amount of FRP is saved forthe locations with severe damage while no FRPis applied to the locations with no or minordamage By observing the damage distributionin Figure 16(a) the two inner columns of thefirst storey suffered severe damage () whilethe two outer columns of the first storey and thetwo inner columns of the second storey expe-rienced light damage (+) Two FRP ply wasapplied to these locations Other locations in theframe such as beams of all storeys and columnsof the third and the fourth storey have minordamage () thus FRP was not applied to theseminor damage locations +is FRP retrofittedframe is called RS1 which stands for retrofittedstructure in the first time using the proposedapproach

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the retrofitted framesAfter the frame was retrofitted in Step 5 using theproposed retrofitting approach ITH analyses of thisFRP retrofitted frame (RS1) subjected to the selected8 ground motions were carried out +e analyticaldetails of the retrofitted frame are presented inSection 3 with the inclusion of the FRP confinement

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the retrofitted frames+e hysteretic behaviours of nonlinear elementsobtained in Step 6 were then exported to Excel andprocessed in MATLAB [43] to compute damageindices +e damage mode of RS1 is plotted inFigure 16(b)

(viii) Step 8 evaluate the damage using the damageindex criterion DIle [DI]+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinges of the RS1 All plastic hinge lo-cations satisfy this condition so go to Step 9

(ix) Step 9 evaluate the damage distribution in thestructureWhen the quantitative criterion DI le [DI] issatisfied for all plastic hinges the qualitativecriterion on the damage distribution in the frameis evaluated +e damage mode shown inFigure 16(b) is used to evaluate the damagedistribution in the frame For storey 1 the damageindices of the two inner columns are much largerthan those of the two outer columns +e FRPadjustment can be made so that the damage in-dices of columns in the same storey should besimilar Ideally the damage indices of the lowerstoreys should be less or equal than those of thehigher storey because the lower storeys are moreimportant than the higher storeysAdditional redesign of FRP by adding one ply toplastic hinges at the bottom ends of the innercolumns of the first storey is conducted +is FRPretrofitted structure is called RS2 +e procedure issimilar and the result is shown in Figure 16(c) +edamage index decreases from 0107 to 0077For comparison the frame retrofitted by evendistribution of FRP was also carried out One FRPply was applied for all plastic hinges and thisretrofitted frame is called RS0 +e number 0denotes that the frame is retrofitted without usingthe proposed retrofitting approach ITH anddamage analyses of this frame RS0 were performedand the damage state is plotted in Figure 16(d)Although all plastic hinges of the frame were ap-plied by two FRP plies the damage state of RS0 isworse than the damage states of RS1 and RS2For further comparison the maximum damageindex of each storey was used to plot the damagedistribution of storeys +e storey damage distri-butions of the original RS0 RS1 and RS2 areshown in Figure 17 +e damage state of the frameusing the proposed retrofitting approach is sig-nificantly improved showing the technical effec-tiveness of the proposed approach+e comparison in terms of retrofitting cost is alsocarried as follows +e amount of FRP used for theretrofitted frame RS0 RS1 and RS2 were com-puted and plotted in Figure 18 In order to plot the

Based on the damage distribution of the frame RS1 andthe importance of lower storeys the frame RS1 wasretrofitted by adding 1 FRP ply to plastic hinges at thebottom ends of storey 1 inner columns and the plastichinges of inner columns of storey 3 making the

number of FRP plies respectively increase to 3 and 2for these locations and this frame is called RS2 +edamage state of the frame RS2 is shown in Figure 19(c)+ese analyses were also performed for the frameretrofitted by 1 FRP ply for all plastic hinges +is

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

which kε is the ldquostrain efficiency factorrdquo which is muchsmaller than 1 Researchers have proposed different values ofkε for GFRP 0624 by Lam and Teng [25] 068 by Realfonzoand Napoli [68] and 066 by Baji et al [69] +ese valueswere of GFRP wraps for circular specimens subjected tomonotonic axial compressive loading In case of rectangularcolumns subjected to seismic loading the value of kε should

be smaller due to the higher stress concentration at cornersand the effect of cyclic loading Recently Baji [70] analysedthe test results of 184 GFRP-confined cylinder specimenssubjected to axial loading and the average value 062 for kε isobtained+is smallest value of 062 which is close to the oneproposed by Lam and Teng [25] was adopted in this paper

retrofitted frame is called RS0 +e damage state of theretrofitted frame is shown in Figure 19(d) +e dis-tributions of storey damage indices of the original RS0RS1 and RS2 are plotted in Figure 20 Figure 21 showsthe variations of damage index and the FRP ratios forthe frames As can be visible in Figures 20 and 21 of theframe RS2 the damage index is significantly reduced

from 0396 (moderate damage) to 0238 (light damage)and the FRP ratio reduced to 688 when comparedwith that of the frame RS0 By coincidence the value688 is similar to the FRP ratio of the 4-storey frame

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

(v) Step 5 retrofit of structures based on damagedistribution+e damage distribution shown in Figure 16(a)provides a clear picture of damage mode whichis useful to distribute the FRP correspondinglyin which the larger amount of FRP is saved forthe locations with severe damage while no FRPis applied to the locations with no or minordamage By observing the damage distributionin Figure 16(a) the two inner columns of thefirst storey suffered severe damage () whilethe two outer columns of the first storey and thetwo inner columns of the second storey expe-rienced light damage (+) Two FRP ply wasapplied to these locations Other locations in theframe such as beams of all storeys and columnsof the third and the fourth storey have minordamage () thus FRP was not applied to theseminor damage locations +is FRP retrofittedframe is called RS1 which stands for retrofittedstructure in the first time using the proposedapproach

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the retrofitted framesAfter the frame was retrofitted in Step 5 using theproposed retrofitting approach ITH analyses of thisFRP retrofitted frame (RS1) subjected to the selected8 ground motions were carried out +e analyticaldetails of the retrofitted frame are presented inSection 3 with the inclusion of the FRP confinement

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the retrofitted frames+e hysteretic behaviours of nonlinear elementsobtained in Step 6 were then exported to Excel andprocessed in MATLAB [43] to compute damageindices +e damage mode of RS1 is plotted inFigure 16(b)

(viii) Step 8 evaluate the damage using the damageindex criterion DIle [DI]+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinges of the RS1 All plastic hinge lo-cations satisfy this condition so go to Step 9

(ix) Step 9 evaluate the damage distribution in thestructureWhen the quantitative criterion DI le [DI] issatisfied for all plastic hinges the qualitativecriterion on the damage distribution in the frameis evaluated +e damage mode shown inFigure 16(b) is used to evaluate the damagedistribution in the frame For storey 1 the damageindices of the two inner columns are much largerthan those of the two outer columns +e FRPadjustment can be made so that the damage in-dices of columns in the same storey should besimilar Ideally the damage indices of the lowerstoreys should be less or equal than those of thehigher storey because the lower storeys are moreimportant than the higher storeysAdditional redesign of FRP by adding one ply toplastic hinges at the bottom ends of the innercolumns of the first storey is conducted +is FRPretrofitted structure is called RS2 +e procedure issimilar and the result is shown in Figure 16(c) +edamage index decreases from 0107 to 0077For comparison the frame retrofitted by evendistribution of FRP was also carried out One FRPply was applied for all plastic hinges and thisretrofitted frame is called RS0 +e number 0denotes that the frame is retrofitted without usingthe proposed retrofitting approach ITH anddamage analyses of this frame RS0 were performedand the damage state is plotted in Figure 16(d)Although all plastic hinges of the frame were ap-plied by two FRP plies the damage state of RS0 isworse than the damage states of RS1 and RS2For further comparison the maximum damageindex of each storey was used to plot the damagedistribution of storeys +e storey damage distri-butions of the original RS0 RS1 and RS2 areshown in Figure 17 +e damage state of the frameusing the proposed retrofitting approach is sig-nificantly improved showing the technical effec-tiveness of the proposed approach+e comparison in terms of retrofitting cost is alsocarried as follows +e amount of FRP used for theretrofitted frame RS0 RS1 and RS2 were com-puted and plotted in Figure 18 In order to plot the

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

(v) Step 5 retrofit of structures based on damagedistribution+e damage distribution shown in Figure 16(a)provides a clear picture of damage mode whichis useful to distribute the FRP correspondinglyin which the larger amount of FRP is saved forthe locations with severe damage while no FRPis applied to the locations with no or minordamage By observing the damage distributionin Figure 16(a) the two inner columns of thefirst storey suffered severe damage () whilethe two outer columns of the first storey and thetwo inner columns of the second storey expe-rienced light damage (+) Two FRP ply wasapplied to these locations Other locations in theframe such as beams of all storeys and columnsof the third and the fourth storey have minordamage () thus FRP was not applied to theseminor damage locations +is FRP retrofittedframe is called RS1 which stands for retrofittedstructure in the first time using the proposedapproach

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

(v) Step 5 retrofit of structures based on damagedistribution+e damage distribution shown in Figure 16(a)provides a clear picture of damage mode whichis useful to distribute the FRP correspondinglyin which the larger amount of FRP is saved forthe locations with severe damage while no FRPis applied to the locations with no or minordamage By observing the damage distributionin Figure 16(a) the two inner columns of thefirst storey suffered severe damage () whilethe two outer columns of the first storey and thetwo inner columns of the second storey expe-rienced light damage (+) Two FRP ply wasapplied to these locations Other locations in theframe such as beams of all storeys and columnsof the third and the fourth storey have minordamage () thus FRP was not applied to theseminor damage locations +is FRP retrofittedframe is called RS1 which stands for retrofittedstructure in the first time using the proposedapproach

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the retrofitted framesAfter the frame was retrofitted in Step 5 using theproposed retrofitting approach ITH analyses of thisFRP retrofitted frame (RS1) subjected to the selected8 ground motions were carried out +e analyticaldetails of the retrofitted frame are presented inSection 3 with the inclusion of the FRP confinement

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the retrofitted frames+e hysteretic behaviours of nonlinear elementsobtained in Step 6 were then exported to Excel andprocessed in MATLAB [43] to compute damageindices +e damage mode of RS1 is plotted inFigure 16(b)

(viii) Step 8 evaluate the damage using the damageindex criterion DIle [DI]+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinges of the RS1 All plastic hinge lo-cations satisfy this condition so go to Step 9

(ix) Step 9 evaluate the damage distribution in thestructureWhen the quantitative criterion DI le [DI] issatisfied for all plastic hinges the qualitativecriterion on the damage distribution in the frameis evaluated +e damage mode shown inFigure 16(b) is used to evaluate the damagedistribution in the frame For storey 1 the damageindices of the two inner columns are much largerthan those of the two outer columns +e FRPadjustment can be made so that the damage in-dices of columns in the same storey should besimilar Ideally the damage indices of the lowerstoreys should be less or equal than those of thehigher storey because the lower storeys are moreimportant than the higher storeysAdditional redesign of FRP by adding one ply toplastic hinges at the bottom ends of the innercolumns of the first storey is conducted +is FRPretrofitted structure is called RS2 +e procedure issimilar and the result is shown in Figure 16(c) +edamage index decreases from 0107 to 0077For comparison the frame retrofitted by evendistribution of FRP was also carried out One FRPply was applied for all plastic hinges and thisretrofitted frame is called RS0 +e number 0denotes that the frame is retrofitted without usingthe proposed retrofitting approach ITH anddamage analyses of this frame RS0 were performedand the damage state is plotted in Figure 16(d)Although all plastic hinges of the frame were ap-plied by two FRP plies the damage state of RS0 isworse than the damage states of RS1 and RS2For further comparison the maximum damageindex of each storey was used to plot the damagedistribution of storeys +e storey damage distri-butions of the original RS0 RS1 and RS2 areshown in Figure 17 +e damage state of the frameusing the proposed retrofitting approach is sig-nificantly improved showing the technical effec-tiveness of the proposed approach+e comparison in terms of retrofitting cost is alsocarried as follows +e amount of FRP used for theretrofitted frame RS0 RS1 and RS2 were com-puted and plotted in Figure 18 In order to plot the

Based on the damage distribution of the frame RS1 andthe importance of lower storeys the frame RS1 wasretrofitted by adding 1 FRP ply to plastic hinges at thebottom ends of storey 1 inner columns and the plastichinges of inner columns of storey 3 making the

number of FRP plies respectively increase to 3 and 2for these locations and this frame is called RS2 +edamage state of the frame RS2 is shown in Figure 19(c)+ese analyses were also performed for the frameretrofitted by 1 FRP ply for all plastic hinges +is

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

(v) Step 5 retrofit of structures based on damagedistribution+e damage distribution shown in Figure 16(a)provides a clear picture of damage mode whichis useful to distribute the FRP correspondinglyin which the larger amount of FRP is saved forthe locations with severe damage while no FRPis applied to the locations with no or minordamage By observing the damage distributionin Figure 16(a) the two inner columns of thefirst storey suffered severe damage () whilethe two outer columns of the first storey and thetwo inner columns of the second storey expe-rienced light damage (+) Two FRP ply wasapplied to these locations Other locations in theframe such as beams of all storeys and columnsof the third and the fourth storey have minordamage () thus FRP was not applied to theseminor damage locations +is FRP retrofittedframe is called RS1 which stands for retrofittedstructure in the first time using the proposedapproach

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the retrofitted framesAfter the frame was retrofitted in Step 5 using theproposed retrofitting approach ITH analyses of thisFRP retrofitted frame (RS1) subjected to the selected8 ground motions were carried out +e analyticaldetails of the retrofitted frame are presented inSection 3 with the inclusion of the FRP confinement

(vii) Step 7 damage analyses of the retrofitted frames+e hysteretic behaviours of nonlinear elementsobtained in Step 6 were then exported to Excel andprocessed in MATLAB [43] to compute damageindices +e damage mode of RS1 is plotted inFigure 16(b)

(viii) Step 8 evaluate the damage using the damageindex criterion DIle [DI]+e quantitative condition DIle [DI] is checked forall plastic hinges of the RS1 All plastic hinge lo-cations satisfy this condition so go to Step 9

(ix) Step 9 evaluate the damage distribution in thestructureWhen the quantitative criterion DI le [DI] issatisfied for all plastic hinges the qualitativecriterion on the damage distribution in the frameis evaluated +e damage mode shown inFigure 16(b) is used to evaluate the damagedistribution in the frame For storey 1 the damageindices of the two inner columns are much largerthan those of the two outer columns +e FRPadjustment can be made so that the damage in-dices of columns in the same storey should besimilar Ideally the damage indices of the lowerstoreys should be less or equal than those of thehigher storey because the lower storeys are moreimportant than the higher storeysAdditional redesign of FRP by adding one ply toplastic hinges at the bottom ends of the innercolumns of the first storey is conducted +is FRPretrofitted structure is called RS2 +e procedure issimilar and the result is shown in Figure 16(c) +edamage index decreases from 0107 to 0077For comparison the frame retrofitted by evendistribution of FRP was also carried out One FRPply was applied for all plastic hinges and thisretrofitted frame is called RS0 +e number 0denotes that the frame is retrofitted without usingthe proposed retrofitting approach ITH anddamage analyses of this frame RS0 were performedand the damage state is plotted in Figure 16(d)Although all plastic hinges of the frame were ap-plied by two FRP plies the damage state of RS0 isworse than the damage states of RS1 and RS2For further comparison the maximum damageindex of each storey was used to plot the damagedistribution of storeys +e storey damage distri-butions of the original RS0 RS1 and RS2 areshown in Figure 17 +e damage state of the frameusing the proposed retrofitting approach is sig-nificantly improved showing the technical effec-tiveness of the proposed approach+e comparison in terms of retrofitting cost is alsocarried as follows +e amount of FRP used for theretrofitted frame RS0 RS1 and RS2 were com-puted and plotted in Figure 18 In order to plot the

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

(v) Step 5 retrofit of structures based on damagedistribution+e damage distribution shown in Figure 16(a)provides a clear picture of damage mode whichis useful to distribute the FRP correspondinglyin which the larger amount of FRP is saved forthe locations with severe damage while no FRPis applied to the locations with no or minordamage By observing the damage distributionin Figure 16(a) the two inner columns of thefirst storey suffered severe damage () whilethe two outer columns of the first storey and thetwo inner columns of the second storey expe-rienced light damage (+) Two FRP ply wasapplied to these locations Other locations in theframe such as beams of all storeys and columnsof the third and the fourth storey have minordamage () thus FRP was not applied to theseminor damage locations +is FRP retrofittedframe is called RS1 which stands for retrofittedstructure in the first time using the proposedapproach

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

(v) Step 5 retrofit of structures based on damagedistribution+e damage distribution shown in Figure 16(a)provides a clear picture of damage mode whichis useful to distribute the FRP correspondinglyin which the larger amount of FRP is saved forthe locations with severe damage while no FRPis applied to the locations with no or minordamage By observing the damage distributionin Figure 16(a) the two inner columns of thefirst storey suffered severe damage () whilethe two outer columns of the first storey and thetwo inner columns of the second storey expe-rienced light damage (+) Two FRP ply wasapplied to these locations Other locations in theframe such as beams of all storeys and columnsof the third and the fourth storey have minordamage () thus FRP was not applied to theseminor damage locations +is FRP retrofittedframe is called RS1 which stands for retrofittedstructure in the first time using the proposedapproach

(vi) Step 6 ITH analyses of the retrofitted framesAfter the frame was retrofitted in Step 5 using theproposed retrofitting approach ITH analyses of thisFRP retrofitted frame (RS1) subjected to the selected8 ground motions were carried out +e analyticaldetails of the retrofitted frame are presented inSection 3 with the inclusion of the FRP confinement

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

Based on the damage distribution of the frame RS1 andthe importance of lower storeys the frame RS1 wasretrofitted by adding 1 FRP ply to plastic hinges at thebottom ends of storey 1 inner columns and the plastichinges of inner columns of storey 3 making the

number of FRP plies respectively increase to 3 and 2for these locations and this frame is called RS2 +edamage state of the frame RS2 is shown in Figure 19(c)+ese analyses were also performed for the frameretrofitted by 1 FRP ply for all plastic hinges +is

from 0396 (moderate damage) to 0238 (light damage)and the FRP ratio reduced to 688 when comparedwith that of the frame RS0 By coincidence the value688 is similar to the FRP ratio of the 4-storey frame

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

Based on the damage distribution of the frame RS1 andthe importance of lower storeys the frame RS1 wasretrofitted by adding 1 FRP ply to plastic hinges at thebottom ends of storey 1 inner columns and the plastichinges of inner columns of storey 3 making the

number of FRP plies respectively increase to 3 and 2for these locations and this frame is called RS2 +edamage state of the frame RS2 is shown in Figure 19(c)+ese analyses were also performed for the frameretrofitted by 1 FRP ply for all plastic hinges +is

from 0396 (moderate damage) to 0238 (light damage)and the FRP ratio reduced to 688 when comparedwith that of the frame RS0 By coincidence the value688 is similar to the FRP ratio of the 4-storey frame

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

Based on the damage distribution of the frame RS1 andthe importance of lower storeys the frame RS1 wasretrofitted by adding 1 FRP ply to plastic hinges at thebottom ends of storey 1 inner columns and the plastichinges of inner columns of storey 3 making the

number of FRP plies respectively increase to 3 and 2for these locations and this frame is called RS2 +edamage state of the frame RS2 is shown in Figure 19(c)+ese analyses were also performed for the frameretrofitted by 1 FRP ply for all plastic hinges +is

retrofitted frame is called RS0 +e damage state of theretrofitted frame is shown in Figure 19(d) +e dis-tributions of storey damage indices of the original RS0RS1 and RS2 are plotted in Figure 20 Figure 21 showsthe variations of damage index and the FRP ratios forthe frames As can be visible in Figures 20 and 21 of theframe RS2 the damage index is significantly reduced

from 0396 (moderate damage) to 0238 (light damage)and the FRP ratio reduced to 688 when comparedwith that of the frame RS0 By coincidence the value688 is similar to the FRP ratio of the 4-storey frame

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures

retrofitted frame is called RS0 +e damage state of theretrofitted frame is shown in Figure 19(d) +e dis-tributions of storey damage indices of the original RS0RS1 and RS2 are plotted in Figure 20 Figure 21 showsthe variations of damage index and the FRP ratios forthe frames As can be visible in Figures 20 and 21 of theframe RS2 the damage index is significantly reduced

from 0396 (moderate damage) to 0238 (light damage)and the FRP ratio reduced to 688 when comparedwith that of the frame RS0 By coincidence the value688 is similar to the FRP ratio of the 4-storey frame

8 Conclusions

+is current paper presents the proposed FRP retrofittingapproach to address building ownersrsquo concern on reducing theFRP cost and installationinterruption time +e FRP retrofit-ting approach is proposed based on the seismic damage dis-tribution in structures using both quantitative and qualitativecriteria +e quantitative criterion is set by the condition DIle[DI] and the qualitative criterion is evaluated by the damagedistribution +e advantages of the proposed approach can belisted as follows (1) the damage index and the damage mode ofretrofitted structures are controlled (2) the amount of FRP isreduced because FRP is effectively redistributed based on thedamage distribution in structures and (3) FRP installationinterruption time is reduced since only critical locations un-dergo retrofitting +e second advantage directly reduces theFRP material cost while the third advantage indirectly reducesthe total retrofitting cost

+e proposed FRP retrofitting approach was used toretrofit low- and mid-rise nonductile RC frame structuresWith a similar predefined target of damage level the amountof FRP used for low- and mid-rise frames reduced to 688+is resulted in 312 saving in FRP when compared withthe traditional approach where FRP is evenly distributed Inaddition the damage indices of the considered low- andmid-rise FRP-retrofitted frames using the proposed retro-fitting approach were much lower than those of the framesretrofitted using traditional approach +us the proposedretrofitting approach not only reduced the cost but also wasvery effective in reducing the seismic damage Due to itssimplicity and technicaleconomical effectiveness the pro-posed FRP retrofitting approach can be useful for engi-neering practice in retrofitting structures
