Abstract:
This report contains the proceedings from a workshop
"Seismic Rehabilitation of Lightly Reinforced Concrete
(LRC) Frames" sponsored by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology and the U.S. Corps of
Engineers, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory.
The 1-1/2 day workshop was held on June 12-13, 1995 in
Gaithersburg, Maryland. A total of 24 researchers,
design engineers, and representatives from various
federal agencies were invited to attend the workshop.
The objectives of the workshop were to determine the
state-of-the-art in the rehabilitation of LRC frames, to
determine any gaps in the knowledge base that are
preventing the development of guidelines or the
widespread use of the rehabilitation methods, and the
methods to fill these gaps. Six papers were presented
at the workshop. The participants were divided into
three working groups - concrete/masonry, steel,
composites and damping systems. The participants
discussed and recommended areas of needed research for
rehabilitation methods in the three areas.
