Abstract
A numerical investigation is presented for the seismic analysis of tall reinforced concrete (RC) Civil Engineering structures, which have been degradated due to extreme environmental actions and are strengthened by cable elements. The effects of multiple earthquakes on such RC building frames are computed. Damage indices are estimated in order to compare the seismic response of the structures before and after the retrofit by cable element strengthening, and so to elect the optimum strengthening version.
