Seismic Assessment of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Also Known As:
ACI SP-297:2014 is a standard that provides a collection of eleven papers focused on the seismic assessment and retrofit of existing reinforced concrete buildings. The papers included in this standard summarize new developments, research efforts, and case studies related to the collapse prevention performance level.
The standard covers various topics such as nonlinear modeling parameters and acceptance criteria for concrete columns, assessment of ASCE/SEI 41 concrete column provisions using shaking table tests, numerical models for beam-column joints, evaluation of ASCE 41 modeling parameters for slender reinforced concrete structural walls, modeling parameters for reinforced concrete slab-column connections, nonlinear modeling parameters for jacketed columns used in seismic rehabilitation, analysis of seismic response of masonry-infilled RC frames through collapse, collapse assessment of non-ductile, retrofitted, and ductile reinforced concrete frames, seismic assessment and retrofit case studies from Degenkolb Engineers, determination of collapse vulnerable reinforced concrete buildings, and identifying buildings with high seismic risk under urban renewal law in Turkey.
This standard aims to provide valuable information and guidance on the assessment and retrofitting of existing reinforced concrete buildings in order to improve their seismic performance.
