Conceptual infill panel designs for seismic retrofitting

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

The analysis, design, and testing of polymer matrix composite (PMC) infill walls was presented. Analytical and experimental studies were performed to examine the behavior of the PMC infill wall system when subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading. A steel frame retrofitted with a PMC infill wall was monitored to assess the resultant enhancements to its seismic-energy resistance capacity. The experimental and analytical studied showed that the introduction of a PMC infill wall panel in a semi-rigidly connected steel frame produced significanyly enhancements to stiffness, strengths, and energy dissipation.
