Cover Story (view full-size image):
The existing RC framed structures, built in the 1950–1970s period or earlier, possess numerous structural deficiencies; hence, their seismic response is dominated by the poor inelastic performance of the weaker structural members. Extending the service life of these structures and securing their ductile performance during future earthquakes through retrofitting processes are rather challenging aims, but they also remain a more cost-effective and environmentally beneficial solution than demolishing and rebuilding. The satisfactory design of retrofit schemes requires a good understanding of the influences of various crucial design parameters in the seismic behavior of the beam-column joints and the developing failure mechanisms.
