20 THE BUILDING UNDER INVESTIGATION Other than the structural degradation due to both age and environmental conditions, the experimental test on SMA braces in the transversal direction determined a further reduction of the module mechanical features Such a situation has been considered in the definition of the numerical model of the sub-structure, which has been used in order to calibrate the structural cyclic experimental behaviour in the longitudinal direction, where seismic retrofitting intervention has been foreseen Structural Reaction The experimental steel consolidation structure test used in the in trasnverse the experimental direction activity Hydraulic jack

22 SEISMIC RETROFITTING METHODOLOGY AND DESIGN OF RC STRUCTURES BY MEANS OF METAL SHEAR PANELS Starting from the knowledge of the contribution which shear panel should provide in terms of both strength and stiffness, its design can be performed by means of the following simplified theoretical relationships: 1 E b t V = f yt blsin 2α K = 2 4 h s Shear panels are realised with two different metallic materials: The definition of materials allows to achieve the shear panels The shear wall has been subdivided into six elements geometrical dimensions : (600x400mm) connected each other and with the frame by STEEL means of M14 bolts having pitch of 50 mm. f y =305 Nmm -2 f u =340 Nmm -2 ε u >30% b b = mm mm d d = mm mm s= s= 1,15 1,15 mm mm PURE ALUMINIUM Being b/d = 0,25 (less than the minimum value (0.8) which guarantees the full activation of tension field), in order to increase such a ratio, two coupled 100 x 4 mm fishplates have been inserted on both sides of the plate f 02 =20 Nmm -2 f u =80 Nmm -2 ε u >30% b b = mm mm d d = mm mm s= s= 55 mm Block tearing failure mechanism mm

30 CONCLUSIONS 1. The use of metal shear panels for the seismic protection of new and existing buildings has been investigated; 2. Experimental tests on full bay, bracing type and partial bay type pure aluminium shear panels have been carried out; 3. The obtained results emphasize that shear metals panels actually represent a very attractive strategy to reduce the seismic vulnerability of new (steel) and exiting (RC) framed structures subjected to large earthquakes.
