Experimental Study on Repairing/Restoration and Reinforcement Methods of the Reinforced Concrete Structures Damaged by Earthquakes

For earthquake-damaged reinforced concrete structures, the static loading test method is adopted to carry out loading tests under cyclic loading on reinforced concrete beams with different reinforcement rates and columns with different axial compression ratios, and the effect of reinforcing and repairing the damaged reinforced concrete structure by using adhesive steel plates and carbon fiber cloth is investigated. Through comparative studies of structural hysteresis curves and skeleton curves under different reinforcement methods, it is concluded that reinforcement has significantly improved the hysteresis characteristics and ductility of members, and the seismic performance of the carbon fiber reinforcement method is better than that of the steel plate reinforcement. This study provides valuable references and suggestions for practical earthquake-damaged building reinforcement and repair works and seismic reinforcement works.
