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

<div>Cracks appeared in the PD-F specimen during pseudodynamic testing under earthquake ground motion of 250 gal, after (a) 2.2 s with lateral displacement of 7.2 mm and force of –166 kN and (b) 4.8 s with lateral displacement of 13.6 mm and force of –212 kN.</div>
