Increasing the Vertical Load Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Waffle Slabs With Varying Operating Loads Using CFRP

Abstract

Retrofit with fiber polymer composites is one of the new generations retrofitting techniques that is rapidly becoming widespread. CFRP provide effective solutions in terms of durability as well as increasing the flexural strength and shearing capacities of RC structural elements. It is more suitable than traditional retrofitting techniques, especially in buildings where the architectural function must be preserved. The subject of the study is to determine the earthquake performance according to TBEC2018 principles of the existing medicine production facility with a frame system, which was built with conventional RC method in Çorlu. In practice, the effectiveness of retrofitting with CFRPs was investigated within the scope of the study. After determining the earthquake performance of the building, the realization of the additional effects that will occur due to the operating loads expected to increase on the structure, with the retrofit using CFRPs, was designed and applied on the site. In a highly hygienic environment, retrofitting alternatives have been investigated and structural safety comparison has been made. In the earthquake retrofitting application of the building, the advantages of retrofit with composite materials were utilized and advantages and disadvantages were determined compared to traditional methods.
