Abstract :
One of the important fields of composite research, the response of these materials to oscillating application loads and reinforcement of structures with them. Reinforcing the steel shear walls using composite layers at any temperature, even at low temperatures, will occur due to the viscoelastic deformation of the field. Composite repositioning behavior is generally influenced by the geometry and the properties of the material and its component parts. Over the past two decades, civil engineering has grown steadily in terms of the importance of mechanical and functional properties of composites. These composites are considered as a serious competitor for other common materials for civil engineers to upgrade existing structures. The excellent properties of composites such as light weight, high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, high durability, and other outstanding features have led to significant demands and improvements in this field. Composite materials usually contain a pure substance or a combination of at least two materials as a base material and one or more other materials known as reinforcing materials. The components of each composite are different in terms of shape, composition and properties. The composites are originally produced in order to achieve a combination of properties that are not present on any of the materials or their constituents alone. In this way, materials with new and better properties can be produced according to the industrial applications. In fact, the most important advantage of composite materials is that they can be controlled according to the needs.
