Development of a Selective Weakening Approach for the Seismic Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete Structural Walls
Recent earthquakes have highlighted the vulnerability of existing structure to seismic loading. Current seismic retrofit strategies generally focus on increasing the strength/stiffness in order to upgrade the seismic performance of a structure or element. A typical drawback of this approach is that...
