Rapid Seismic Performance Assessment and Comparative Selection of FRP Reinforcement Schemes for Earthquake‑damaged RC Frames Based on ETM
seismic events causing significant damage to building structures have been frequently reported. Consequently
research on the seismic performance assessment and reinforcement of earthquake-damaged structures has become an urgent need in earthquake-affected areas. This study aims to assess the seismic performance of earthquake-damaged structures and frame structures reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) using the endurance time method while considering the influence of seismic motion duration
and to rapidly determine the optimal FRP reinforcement scheme. First
numerical models of earthquake-damaged frames were established in OpenSees. Then
multiple endurance time acceleration (ETA) curves with different durations were generated
and the structural responses under seismic action were calculated using both the endurance time method (ETM) and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). By comparing the vulnerability curves derived from ETM and IDA methods
the effectiveness of ETM in evaluating the seismic performance of earthquake-damaged structures was verified. On this basis
the seismic performance of earthquake-damaged frame structures reinforced with different types of FRP was evaluated. Based on a comprehensive analysis of cost-effectiveness
efficiency
and other factors
the optimal reinforcement scheme was selected. This study demonstrates that ETM can efficiently analyze and evaluate structural seismic performance
significantly reducing the computational cost compared to IDA
and can provide important support for the seismic performance assessment and reinforcement design of earthquake-damaged structures.
