This paper describes the results of an investigation into the expected seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings constructed between 1936 and 1975. Typical design and construction features of these buildings are reviewed, including a chronological comparison of post-1935 seismic design levels. Two reinforced concrete frame buildings constructed in the 1950s were the subject of inelastic analysis, and it is found that member shear and poor joint performance tended to govern the ultimate response. An analysis procedure for evaluating the seismic performance characteristics of reinforced concrete frame elements is proposed. Case studies illustrate this method, one of which highlights the adverse influence of highly eccentric building layout.

Reasonably effective methods of FRP strengthening can dramatically improve the ultimate bearing capacity, ductility and seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame joints. This paper, based on domestic and foreign experimental research and finite element numerical simulation which are working at improving bearing capacity and seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame joints, analyzes mechanism and performance factors of RC frame joints reinforced with FRP material, concludes with basic ideas and methods of FRP material RC joints, together with the direction of continuing studies.
