Abstract
In this study, results of nonlinear response history analysis are presented for an existing RC wall-frame building, which has suffered collapse-level damage during the devastating February 2023 Kahramanmaras earthquakes. Performance analysis results for two building configurations are compared; first for the existing building configuration generated upon on-site observations, and second, for a hypothetical configuration in which the structural walls and columns are retroffited using externally-bonded FRP sheets. Analysis results reveal that in its existing configuration, mostly due to detailing deficiencies, a collapse-level performance was not unexpected; whereas FRP strengthening of the building would have resulted in collapse-prevention performance.
