1 optimal design of frp retrofitting for seismic resistant rc frames C. Chisari 1, C. Bedon 2 1 Department of Civil Engineering, University of Salerno, Fisciano (SA), Italy 2 Department of Engineering and Architecture, University of Trieste, Trieste (TS), Italy Introduction. In earthquake-prone areas, in Italy and Europe, a great number of residential, commercial and public buildings is made of reinforced concrete (RC). Many of them were designed according to standards which did not take into account properly earthquake-induced effects on the structure, and thus may turn out to be particularly vulnerable. Recent catastrophic seismic events (L Aquila, 2009; Emilia, 2012; Amatrice, 2016) have shown that RC structures, if not correctly designed, may suffer from substantial damage in case of strong earthquakes. Thus, one of the most pressing issues in structural engineering is the assessment and the strengthening of existing heritage. While under gravitational loading the columns are mainly subjected to axial forces, the horizontal forces acting during earthquakes induce strong bending moments which may lead the structure to brittle collapse and undesired failure mechanisms. The use of Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) jackets has proved to be particularly effective thanks to the enhancement in strength and ductility it can provide to the unreinforced columns, and limited invasiveness of the technique. Over the last years several researchers investigated the structural behaviour of RC reinforced elements and assemblies, aiming at improving the accuracy of the design. Zou et al. (2007) showed that the seismic response of a FRP-retrofitted RC frame 438
2 can be efficiently optimized assuming the thicknesses of the FRP jackets as the major design variables, and solving the optimization problem by using the principle of virtual work and the Taylor series approximation. The cited work shows the advantages of the FRP; however, this approach presents some drawbacks. Firstly, in order to have tractable analytical expressions for the objective function, simplified assumptions are to be considered, e.g. bilinear momentrotation curve for the plastic hinges, without proper consideration of strength degradation in the constitutive relationship. Secondly, even though improvements in strength, ductility and collapse mechanism are observed, they are not made explicit in the optimization analysis, formulated simply as to minimize the FRP weight while satisfying interstorey drift code prescriptions. In this paper, based on the work developed in (Chisari and Bedon, 2016). it is shown that remarkable improvement in the formulation of the problem may be achieved if a more general approach is utilised. In particular, multi-objective optimization by means of Genetic Algorithms (GA) is used for the design of FRP jackets. To show the feasibility of the proposed approach, a reference case study is investigated. The goals of the multi-objective optimization analysis are then given by i) maximization of the RC frame ductility and ii) minimization of the volume (hence the cost) of FRP jackets, while satisfying the current provisions of the seismic design standards in use for concrete structures. Modelling FRP-reinforced RC members. In this work, the typical RC frame is modelled in the form of nonlinear force-based BeamColumn elements within the finite element (FE) software Opensees. The constitutive law at element level is evaluated according to the fibre approach, consisting of integrating the stress-strain relationship of the materials into the crosssection. According to this strategy, both plain concrete and steel reinforcement are modelled separately at the cross-section level. Conversely, the FRP jacket is represented by its effect on the mechanic characteristics of the plain concrete. It is well known that given a RC member, transverse reinforcements in general, such as steel stirrups, or FRP jackets, produce a confinement action which opposes the expansion of the concrete core, thus causing a state of triaxial stress inside the element. Such stress state is beneficial to the overall behaviour of the element, as it increases both strength and ductility. In the current study, the modelling approach proposed in (D Amato et al., 2012) for the calculation of the confining pressure acting in the section core of a FRP reinforced concrete member was taken into account. The advantage of the assumed approach is that the material model is able to estimate the increment of strength and ductility due to the assigned FRP confinement for a given RC member. In addition, the latter model accounts also for the tensile strength of plain concrete, and was specifically developed to evaluate the cyclic non-linear response of RC structures with degraded linear unloading/ reloading stiffness. The computed confined stress strain strain relationships are then utilized in the non-linear structural analysis of the given system under the assigned design loads. The material model for the steel reinforcement was the Giuffrè-Menegotto-Pinto model. Optimal design by means of Genetic Algorithms. Optimal design in structural engineering consists of finding the best structure according to N pre-defined objectives f i to minimize, M equality constraints g j (x)=0 and P inequality constraints h k (x)<0. Any structure is parameterized by a design variable vector x, which collects the factors which can be varied in the search for the optimum. The space of the values that can be assumed by the variables x is called design space. In the case of structural optimization, usually the primary objective to minimize is the cost of the structure while the constraints reproduce the structural requirements prescribed by the codes. A practitioner could also wish to design the seismic retrofit maximizing its effect (ductility increment, decrease of actions/displacements/accelerations on the structure). These requirements naturally lead to a multi-objective optimization problem, where more than one conflicting objectives are to be optimized. In the context of multi-objective optimization, the concept of Pareto optimality replaces the usual notion of optimality. In a minimization problem with N objectives, a solution x 1 is said to dominate a solution x 2 if and only if and. A solution is referred to as Pareto optimal if it is 439

The set of Pareto optimal solutions, called Pareto Front (PF), represents the general solution of the problem. Once the design space, the objective and the constraints are set, the solution of an optimization problem may be accomplished by using several different approaches. Among many, GAs are rather popular because of their ability to solve different typologies of problems, and were used in this work, by employing the software TOSCA (Chisari, 2015). GAs are a zeroorder, population-based meta-heuristic widely used to solve difficult optimization problems. They mimic the optimum search as observed in nature, where living species evolve through recombination of their genetic pool. The algorithm starts with a population of randomly (or quasi-randomly) generated solutions, which are modified during the process by applying some specific GA operators (selection, crossover, mutation, elitism). During the analysis, the population evolves increasing the number of good solutions and avoiding the regions of the design space characterised by low fitness (i.e. high f i ). In the approach proposed in this work, the single individual evaluation consists of running each FE model represented by the individual solution, extracting output variables (interstorey drift, internal forces, displacements) and evaluating objectives and constraints. Case study. As a reference case study, a 3-storey, 3-bay RC frame already investigated in (Zou et al., 2007) was taken into account, see Fig. 1a. The reference frame is considered as part of an office building, supposed to be located in an intensity I seismic zone of Italy, in accordance with the Eurocode 8 (EN1998-1: 2004). The design of the retrofitting was performed according to the seismic actions prescribed by this standard. Conversely, the RC details were based on the information reported in the reference (Zou et al., 2007). A mm 2 cross-section was considered for all the beams, while 300 mm- and 400 mm-width square cross-sections were respectively considered for the external and internal columns. The details of the reinforcement for the RC frame elements are shown in Fig. 1b. Concrete was assumed to have an unconfined compressive strength equal to f c =21MPa. According to the formulation proposed by the Model Code 2010, the corresponding Young modulus was set equal to E c = MPa, while the ultimate strain for confined concrete was assumed as ε 2 = The steel reinforcement was then characterized by Young modulus E s =210 GPa, yielding stress f y =300 MPa, strain-hardening ratio 0.01 and ultimate strain equal to 3%. Finally, the FRP reinforcement was considered in the form of an elastic-brittle material, with Young modulus E f =230 GPa and ultimate strain ε f,u = , corresponding to an ultimate stress σ f,u =2100 MPa. The typical RC frame was modelled in OpenSees (2009). A first loading step accounting for the gravity load was considered before performing the pushover analyses. The gravity loads consisted of the self-weight plus a distributed loads equal to p=50 kn/m on the beams. In the following step, two load distributions for push-over analyses were considered, the first 440
4 (D1) with horizontal loads increasing proportionally to the building height, and the second (D2) with horizontal loads proportional to the seismic masses. The total mass of the RC frame was estimated to be equal to t, as given by the concrete density γ=2300 kg/m 3 plus the distributed loads applied on the beams. Finally, P-Δ effects were not taken into account. As design variable of the optimization problem, the thickness of the FRP wraps applied to the columns was considered. In particular, different thicknesses were assumed for external and internal columns and for each floor. The problem consisted thus of 6 design variables (3 floors times 2 column typologies). The FRP thicknesses were allowed to vary between 0 (no reinforcement) to 2 mm, with mm increments. Once the trial values for the design variables were set for a generic individual of any population, a FE model of the reinforced structure was created and a push-over analysis performed. From the results of the pushover analysis the following quantities were then extracted: a) capacity curve of the RC frame, i.e. in the form of base shear-top displacement; b) inter-storey drift at each imposed load increment; c) maximum steel strain in each RC member, at each imposed load increment. From this amount of information, several key values were thus evaluated, including: (i) the first yielding point (F y, u y ), i.e. the time step in which the first yielding in steel; (ii) the peak load point (F max, u max ); (iii) the ultimate state point (F u, u u ), defined as the point after the peak load point where either a 20% drop of the peak base shear occurred or where the analysis did not converge anymore due to achievement of the ultimate strain in the concrete (and thus rotation capacity of the section). Finally, ductility:, behaviour factor:, DLS design base shear:, and DLS inter-storey drift ratio: were calculated. The objectives of the multi-objective optimization analysis were set as 1) the maximization of μ, and 2) the minimization of the volume of FRP, with the reference constraint that d DLS For each FE model, two different optimization analyses were carried out depending on the horizontal load distributions, i.e. (D1) a first-mode proportional distribution and (D2) a massproportional distribution over the frame height. A preliminary analysis shows that under these loading conditions the bare frame undertakes a maximum drift ratio d DLS = > 0.005, hence it does not comply to the DLS prescription. A purposely designed FRP reinforcement is thus needed. The Pareto Fronts obtained for both loading conditions are displayed in Fig. 2. It is clear that while for low levels of FRP volume the relationship between this and ductility is almost linear, the increase of ductility degrades as the cost increases. In other words, after a certain point, the advantages in terms of ductility are negligible, compared to the cost increase. A more detailed analysis of the obtained results shows Fig. 2 Pareto fronts of the optimization analyses, as obtained for the D1 and D2 loading conditions respectively. how the μ values of individuals in the Pareto Fronts are related to the thickness of FRP wraps, for the external and internal columns respectively. In Fig. 3 it can be seen that there is strong correlation between ductility and FRP thickness at the first floor for the internal columns, as the former increases almost linearly with 441
5 Fig. 3 Dependence of ductility on FRP wrap thickness, as obtained for internal and external columns at each floor. the latter. Conversely, the algorithm keeps thickness in the external columns as low as possible in the same range of ductility. When the thickness in the internal columns reaches the maximum allowed value (2 mm in this investigation), there is still room for improvement in ductility, at expenses of great increase in thickness of FRP applied at the external columns only (see Fig. 3, Floor 1 ). On the contrary, the reinforcement at the other floors is remarkably less important in terms of global response of the frame, as it can be seen in Fig. 3, Floor 2 and Floor 3 charts. Because of its negligible effects on the ductility increase and substantial contribution in the total cost, the FRP thickness in the other floors is consequently kept as low as possible. From a practical point of view, no reinforcement is needed at the second and third floor, leading to remarkable savings. In addition, it must be observed that all Pareto Front solutions displayed 442
6 in Fig. 2 comply with the standard prescriptions, and thus from the results an informed decision may be made a posteriori on favouring the cost or the ductility objective. Conclusions. In this paper, a GA optimization procedure has been proposed for the seismic retrofitting of RC building frames via FRP jackets. Through the proposed approach, it is possible to design the FRP jacket retrofitting taking into account their effect on the overall behaviour of the structure and obtaining effective and efficient solutions. The objectives were chosen as the minimization of the overall cost and maximization of structural ductility, requiring at the same time the satisfaction of code prescriptions about inter-story drift. The procedure was applied to a case study of a RC frame originally not complying with the provisions imposed by EC8. The obtained results highlighted that the considered optimization approach is able to detect the parameters to which the structural response is more sensitive. For the RC frame considered, strengthening the first floor internal columns resulted as the best compromise between ductility increase and minimum cost. References C.
