Abstract

Strengthening of structural elements which are insufficient in terms of earthquake performance is very important for the safety of existing structures. Nowadays, one of the most commonly used methods is strengthening such members with RC jacketing. Several experimental studies have been conducted in the literature to investigate behavior of structural elements reinforced with RC jacketing. Moreover, numerical studies are frequently preferred due to the high cost of experimental studies and the limited availability of laboratory facilities. In this study, a finite element model has been created with OpenSees program in order to investigate the behavior of strengthened RC columns with jacketing. Later, the accuracy of the model has been verified successful by the experimental results selected from the literature. By using that verified model, the effects of concrete strength and amount of spacing of transverse reinforcement used on the jacketing part on reinforced column behavior were investigated. As a result of the study, it is deduced that the change in the concrete strength and amount of transverse reinforcement results in a significant change in ductility, load capacity and rigidity of the reinforced concrete columns.
