Pseudodynamic Testing of Buildings Retrofitted with External Steel Reinforced Concrete Frames to Increase Lateral Strength for Earthquake Damage Prevention

<div>Drawbacks of the conventional chemical lap-splicing method (i.e., cracks in the concrete surface), which uses a steel rebar for connecting existing reinforced concrete (RC) frames to external strengthening elements.</div>
