ABSTRACT:
Numerous structures situated in seismically dynamic zones are not equipped for withstanding seismic activity as indicated by current codes and arrangements. Besides, ongoing tremors in urban regions have obviously exhibited a criticalness to overhaul and fortify these seismic inadequate structures. A huge measure of research work has been done lately to create different fortifying and recovery systems to enhance the seismic execution of structures. A few fortifying techniques like an expansion of new auxiliary components; outside post-tensioning, steel plate holding and so forth has been connected in the past by shifting the level of progress. Among these techniques, seismic retrofit with FRP materials has increased prominent acknowledgment from the structural building network as of late.
Retrofitting with FRP materials is an actual sound and financially effective repair innovation and is currently broadly being utilized as a seismic retrofitting technique everywhere throughout the world. This project introduces an agent review of the current condition of utilizing FRP materials as a retrofitting method for the structures not intended to oppose seismic activity. It outlines the extensions and employments of FRP materials in the seismic reinforcing of RC structures and stonework retrofitting and in addition the seismic retrofitting plans for steel structures. The favorable circumstances alongside the plan rules and the confinements of FRP applications for seismic retrofit are additionally incorporated into this.
