Investigation Of Seismic Performance Of Existing Building Strengthened With Cfrp

Ali , Demir

In this study, the seismic performance of the Merkez Efendi hospital building was determined with CFRP strengthening methods according to the Turkish Earthquake Code-2007. Firstly, the building was considered with the masonry walls and without masonry walls and the effect of the masonry walls to the performance of the building was investigated. Afterwards, the building was strengthened with CFRP plates to get the required seismic performance level. Consequently, the seismic performances of the hospital building were compared for these three cases. Keywords: Strengthening, Masonry Wall, CFRP, Seismic Performance
