This paper aims to quantify the retrofit effect of the Bolt Prefabricated Concrete-Filled Tube reinforcement method on non-seismic school reinforced concrete building through static cyclic loading experiments. To achieve the objective, two-story specimens including a non-retrofitted frame(NRF) and a Bolt Prefabricated Concrete-Filled Tube Reinforcement Frame(BCRF) were tested under static cyclic loading, and the lateral resistant capacities were compared in terms of maximum strength, initial stiffness, effective stiffness, and total energy dissipation. In addition, the load-displacement curves were compared to the story drift limit specified in Seismic Performance Evaluation and Retrofit Manual for School Facilities to investigate if the retrofitted frame was satisfied in target performance(life safety). Experimental results showed that BCRF successfully met the target performance, with a 200% increase in maximum strength and a 300% increase in energy dissipation capacity. Additionally, both initial stiffness and effective stiffness improved by more than 30% compared to NRF. Furthermore, BCRF exhibited an effect that delayed the occurrence of bond failure.

Seismic performance capacity of CFT seismic retrofit method was studied through cyclic loading test. The added CFT columns share the lateral seismic force of the building with the existing RC columns to prevent building collapse. The experiment shows stable hysteric load-displacement curve.

Recently, Earthquake occurrence in korea has become frequent, and the seismic safety of low-rise piloti buildings becomes more and more important. In this study, the seismic retrofit method of low-rise eccentric core type piloti building structures using concrete filled steel tube (CFT) columns was analysed and verified for seismic performance.
