ITU-DowAksa Full-Scale Building Tests for CFRP Retrofitting

In scope of this industry (DowAksa Company)-university (Istanbul Technical University) joint project, static and dynamic tests were carried out on two full-scale substandard reinforced concrete buildings. Both buildings, one tested as reference and the other tested after retrofitting, were simultaneously subjected to simulated earthquake loading. The reinforced concrete frame properties of both buildings were identical in means of material qualities, geometry and reinforcing bars and they were representative of older sub-standard buildings with weak column-strong beam configuration, low concrete strength (less than 20 MPa), insufficient transverse reinforcement (30 cm stirrup spacing) and relatively high column axial load levels (between 22 and 45% of the column axial load capacities). The retrofitting of the test building was realized through external wrapping of the columns with Carbon FRP sheets developed and produced by DowAksa Company.
