History of Earthquake In Japan Tyfo FIBRWRAP Systems
Seismic-resistant Building Design Standards in Hong Kong Buildings in Hong Kong are currently not required by law to meet specific seismic-resistant design standards. The strongest earthquake ever recorded in Hong Kong measured intensity of VI to VII on the MMS. Internationally, Many major cities and economies located in areas of seismicity comparable to that of Hong Kong, including Shanghai, South Korea, Thailand, Australia, France, Germany and New York City, have all introduced seismic resistant design standards for new buildings.
Seismic Design Code for Building in Japan Seismic Design Code for Building was introduce for the first time in 1924 when the Urban Building Law was revised as a consequence of the 1923 Kanto great earthquake disaster. (Seismic coefficient =0.1) In 1950, the Building Standard Law replaced the Urban Building Law. (Seismic coefficient =0.2) The Seismic Design Code for Building was radically changed in 1981 in the largest revision since 1924. The Seismic Capacity Evaluation Standards and Guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of RC Buildings were introduced in 1977 and revised in 1990 and 2001.

Concept of Seismic Evaluation The Seismic Capacity Evaluation Standard and Guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of RC Buildings are used in conjunction with the guidelines for seismic retrofitting of RC buildings. The seismic capacity of the building is quantified by the seismic index Is. This index should be evaluated at each story and to each direction. Where : E o = Basic Seismic Index of Structure. S D = Irregularity Index I s = E o S D T T = Time Index ( to account for the degree of deterioration of the building)
Concept of Seismic Capacity Evaluation Tyfo FIBRWRAP Systems The Basic Seismic index of Structure E o The Eo index is a basic value that specifies the seismic performance of a building. The Eo index is the criteria used for evaluating the seismic performance of a building based on the strength and ductility of the building.) E 0 = n+1 n+i f C, F Where : C : is the strength index F : is the ductility index n+1 n i : is the shear-story modification factor n : is the number of stories i: is the story being analyzed

Concept of Seismic Capacity Evaluation Tyfo FIBRWRAP Systems The Basic Seismic index of Structure E o Three level screening procedures are recommended to Estimate Is, which are dependable on the characteristics of the story to be analyzed. The first level screening procedures is the simplest, which used for stories with a large density of walls. The ultimate strength is estimated based on the concrete shear strength and cross section Area of the columns and walls The Second procedures requires the calculation of the ultimate strength capacity and ductility of columns and walls. The beams are usually assumed to be rigid. This procedure is used for weak column-strong beam frames The third procedures implies to calculate the ultimate capacity and ductility for the vertical members as well as beams. All the possible mechanisms of failure are taken into account. For general concrete building. I s 0.6

JBDPA Guidelines for Strengthening with FRP The Japanese guidelines for seismic retrofitting of RC building with FRP materials (JBDPA, 1999 revised 2010) provide specification on the characteristics of the FRP materials used in Japan, their proper handling and installation. Design and detailing recommendations are provided in the guidelines, which mainly target the shear strength of either columns or beams. The guidelines are part of the Guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of RC Buildings (JPDPA, 1977 1 st revised 1990 2 nd revised 2001), a comprehensive publication that documents different retrofitting methods utilized in Japan.
JBDPA Guidelines for Strengthening with FRP Tyfo FIBRWRAP Systems Materials The JBDPA guidelines describe the properties of PAN-class high-strength carbon fiber sheets, and aramid fiber sheets. In its turn, aramid is subclassified as aramid 1 and aramid 2. Characteristic Carbon Fiber Aramid Fiber 3400 MPa Class Aramid 1 Aramid 2 Type of Fiber PAN-class High-Strength Homopolymer Copolymer Tensile Strength 3400 MPa 2060 MPa 2350 MPa Young Modulus 230 GPa 118 GPa 78 GPa Weight 300 g/m2 623 g/m2 525 g/m2 The viscosity of the adhesive resins influences the efficiency of the strengthening work. Thus, If sagging is likely to occur, a resin of high viscosity is recommended. Also, if smooth impregnation in the fiber is required, a resin with low viscosity should be used.
