Abstract :
Considering the increasing use of FRP bars, as reinforcement in concrete structures, the study of the dynamic behavior of these types of structures and its behavioral comparison with steel reinforced concrete structures seem to be necessary. In this regard, in the present study, buildings with floors 2, 5, and 10 in two-dimensional and three-dimensional states were considered in two types of steel reinforced and FRP reinforced were modeled and analyzed in ABAQUS software. By using the results of the analysis, behavioral comparisons between these structures were carried out with a focus on displacement. By considering in the same conditions, the results of the analysis reveal that displacement in FRP-reinforced structures is more than steel-reinforced structures. Also, in the 2-storey building model, the relation between steel structures and FRP structures is linear with 90% regression coefficient was observed while in 5-storey buildings and 10-storey building’s behavior are nonlinear, with a regression coefficient of 89% and 87%, respectively.
