Title: ULTIMATE SHEAR STRENGTH OF EXISTING STEEL REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS WITH LOW-STRENGTH CONCRETE

Considered parameters were steel type, concrete strength, shear span ratio and axial load level. In order to mitigate disaster, seismic evaluation and retrofit for existing concrete buildings have been extensive in Japan after the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake. According to the some reports of seismic evaluation for existing concrete buildings, it is often reported that concrete buildings have very low concrete strength.Read More
