Theoretical Framework for Experimental Research on Seismic Performance of Masonry-Infilled RC Frames
Source abstract
Abstract
Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) technology has emerged as a promising solution for the reinforcement of existing buildings, particularly in seismically active regions. This paper presents a comprehensive review of experimental research methods focusing on the seismic performance of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames retrofitted with FRCM. Drawing on a wealth of literature from various regions, this review synthesizes advancements in FRCM technology, experimental techniques, and theoretical frameworks. Key aspects explored include material properties testing, bond behaviour between fabric and matrix, and the seismic behaviour of masonry-infilled RC frames. Additionally, the significance of in-plane and out-of-plane behaviours is discussed, highlighting the importance of comprehensive testing methodologies. This paper also examines advancements in experimental equipment, such as shake tables, underscoring their pivotal role in simulating realistic seismic conditions. Overall, this review provides a systematic foundation for further research on the efficacy and potential of FRCM technology in structural reinforcement, contributing to the ongoing discourse in seismic engineering and retrofitting strategies.
