Abstract
In this report experimental and analytical results are presented for Phase 1 of 3 in the development of a new seismic retrofit strategy for critical-use, steel moment-frame buildings. A ductile High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete mix with high strength steel fibers and self-compacting capabilities is utilized to make precast infill panels. In the retrofit, the panels would be bolted into existing steel moment-frame buildings to add stiffness, strength, and energy dissipation. Component level single panel tests with various reinforcement layouts and geometry are conducted and show promising cyclic behavior in terms of hysteretic stability, ductility, energy dissipation, and damage tolerance. A realistic connection detail using Nelson threaded studs is verified. Comparisons are made to nonlinear finite element simulations. Recommendations for future work are given
