The use of dampers is being considered a means to improve the seismic performance of buildings. It may take considerable time and effort to find an optimal design solution since repeated three-dimensional nonlinear time history analyses are required. Therefore, a preliminary design procedure for seismic retrofit using hysteretic dampers was proposed in this study. In the proposed procedure, the amount of retrofit (required number of dampers) is estimated from the capacity curve of the building before retrofit and allowable story drift of the building. In combining the capacity curves of the building and the dampers, the deformation demand for the dampers can be easily checked against their deformation capacity. The equations to transform the device displacement to roof displacement for the combination of capacity curves are developed. The proposed procedure was applied to the seismic retrofit design of sample buildings. The study found that the estimated capacity curve was very close to the actual capacity curve obtained from the pushover analysis, which can determine an appropriate configuration to meet the required seismic performance.
Based on the nonlinear static analysis and the approximate seismic evaluation method adopted in “Guidelines for seismic performance evaluation for existing buildings, two methods to calculate strength demand for retrofitting individual structural walls in unreinforced masonry buildings are proposed.” The displacement coefficient method to determine displacement demand from nonlinear static analysis results is used for the inverse calculation of overall strength demand required to reduce the displacement demand to a target value meeting the performance objective of the unreinforced masonry building to retrofit. A preliminary seismic evaluation method to screen out vulnerable buildings, of which detailed evaluation is necessary, is utilized to calculate overall strength demand without structural analysis based on the difference between the seismic demand and capacity. A system modification factor is introduced to the preliminary seismic evaluation method to reduce the strength demand considering inelastic deformation. The overall strength demand is distributed to the structural walls to retrofit based on the wall stiffness, including the remaining walls or otherwise. Four detached residential houses are modeled and analyzed using the nonlinear static and preliminary evaluation procedures to examine the proposed method.
In this study, the seismic performance of a two-story unreinforced masonry (URM) building was assessed following the linear and nonlinear static procedures specified in the seismic evaluation guideline of existing buildings. First, the provisions to assess failure modes and shear strengths of URM walls and wall piers were reviewed. Then, a two-story URM building was assessed by the linear static procedure using m-factors. The results showed that the walls and wall piers with aspect ratios he /l (i.e., effective height-to-length ratio) > 1.5 were unsafe due to rocking or toe crushing, whereas the walls with he /l ≤1.5 and governed by bed-joint sliding mainly were safe. Axial stresses and shear forces acted upon individual masonry walls, and wall piers differed depending on whether the openings were modeled. The masonry building was reevaluated according to the nonlinear static procedure for a more refined assessment. Based on the linear and nonlinear assessment results, considerations of seismic evaluation for low-rise masonry buildings were given with a focus on the effects of openings.

상⋅하수도 관로 시설은 대표적인 국가기반 시설물로서 국민생활에 있어서 매우 중요한 라이프 라인이다. 지진으로 인한 관로시설의 손상은 급수의 차단을 유발하여 심각한 피해를 초래할 가능성이 매우 크다. 그러므로 상⋅하수도 관로 시설은 지진으로부터 반듯이 안전하게 보호되어야 할 필요가 있다. 지진 및 지반침하로 인한 설계변위를 초과하는 상대변위는 구조물과 연결되는 배관의 이음부에서 손상을 발생시킨다. 벨로우즈형 신축이음관은 온도차에 의한 배관의 팽창 및 변형을 흡수하고 기계진동에 의한 배관의 손상을 막기 위한 장치이다. 본 연구에서는 매설된 상⋅하수도 관로를 보호하고자 지진변위와 지반침하 대응을 목적으로 벨로우즈를 적용하였다. 적층형 하이드로포밍 메탈 벨로우즈는 기존의 벨로우즈와 달리 지진과 같은 저주 기피로하중에 대한 내구성이 우수하다. 따라서 3ply 벨로우즈형 신축이음관을 대상으로 반복가력 굽힘시험을 수행하고 지진안전성과 내침하성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 3ply 벨로우즈형 신축이음관은 8.8°이상의 횡방향 변형각에 대응할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
The precast-buckling restrained braces(PC-BRB) reinforced with engineering plastics that can compensate for the disadvantages in the manufacturing process of the existing buckling restrained brace. In this study, to examine the applicability of PC-BRB to actual structures, example structures similar to school facilities were selected and the reinforcement effect was analyzed analytically according to the damping design procedure of PC-BRB. Load-displacement curve through the incremental loading test appeared similar to the bilinear curve. Applying test result, Analytical model of PC-BRB model was constructed and applied to the example structure. As a result of the analysis, the PC-BRB showed stable hysteresis behavior without lowering the strength, and the inter story drift ratio and the shear force were reduced due to the damping effect. In addition, the reduction ratio of the shear force was similar to the reduction ratio assumed when designing the damping device.
Many Korean domestic masonry structures constructed since 1970 have been found to be vulnerable to earthquakes because they lack efficient lateral force resistance. Many studies have shown that the brick and mortar suddenly experience brittle fracture and out-of-plane collapse when they reach the inelastic range. This study evaluated the seismic retrofitting of non-reinforced masonry with Hybrid Super Coating (HSC) and Cast, manufactured using glass fiber. Four types of specimen original specimen (BR-OR), one layered HSC (BR-HS-O), two-layered HSC (BR-HS-B), one layered HSC, and Cast (BR-CT-HS-O) were constructed and analyzed using compression, flexural tensile, diagonal compression, and triplet tests. The specimen responses were presented and discussed in load-displacement curves, maximum strength, and crack propagation. The compressive strength of the retrofit specimens slightly increased, while the flexural tensile strength of the retrofit specimens increased significantly. In addition, the HSC and Cast also produced a considerable increase in the ductile response of specimens before failure. Diagonal compression test results showed that HSC delayed brittle cracks between the mortar and bricks and resulted in larger displacement before failure than the original brick. The triplet test results confirmed that the bonding strength of the retrofit specimens also increased. The application of HSC and Cast was found to restrain the occurrence of brittle failure effectively and delayed the collapse of masonry wall structures.
초록 In this study, the structural analysis of sway brace device for earthquake-proof which can fix a pipe installed in the building was carried out. The sway brace device was analyzed to evaluate not only the deformations of adaptor fitting, support brace member, structure attachment fitting and clamp sway brace fitting that compose it, but also the effective stress of adaptor fitting combined with support brace member by shear bolt. As a result of structural analysis, it can be seen that the deformation of support brace member influences most of the deformation of sway brace device and the design of adaptor fitting must be modified. Above all, it indicates that the sway brace device is suitable for Korea Fire Institute(KFI) approval standard since its total deformation is smaller than the maximum displacement proposed by KFI. The result of this study can be effectively used to investigate the effective stresses and deformations without the performance test of sway brace device according to its setting angle.
연층을 가지는 건축물들의 피해사례가 관측됨에 따라 기존 건축물 내진성능평가시 수직비정형의 고려가 중요해졌다. 하지만 기존 방법은 수직비정형을 충분히 반영하기 어렵기 때문에 수직비정형을 가지는 건축물에 대해 내진성능을 과소 혹은 과대평가할 여지가 있다. 본 연구는 강성기반 연층비(Soft Story Ratio, SSR)를 이용해 수직비정형 건축물의 내진성능평가 기법을 개발하는데 목적이 있다. SSR은 변위에 대한 요구량과 능력의 비율을 나타내고, 강성차이에 의한 수직비정형을 고려하여 건축물의 변위집중 비율을 의미하는 파라미터다. 1층 기둥을 변수로 하는 필로티 건축물 네 개를 대상으로 개발한 내진성능평가 기법을 기존의 내진성능평가 기법과 비교하였다. 기존 기법은 수직비정형이 극대화되는 모델에 대해 내진성능을 과대평가하는 경우가 발생하였다. 반면 제안된 기법은 모든 모델에 대해서 상세평가의 결과와 동일했다. 따라서 제안하는 내진성능평가 기법은 수직비정형이 극대화되는 필로티 건축물에서 기존의 방법보다 정밀하게 내진성능평가 결과를 제공할 수 있다고 사료된다.
Existing old reinforced concrete buildings could be vulnerable to earthquakes because they were constructed without satisfying seismic design and detail requirements. In current seismic design standards, the target collapse probability for a given Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) ground-shaking hazard is defined as 10% for ordinary buildings. This study aims to estimate the collapse probabilities of a three-story, old, reinforced concrete building designed by only considering gravity loads. Four different seismic design categories (SDC), A, B, C, and D, are considered. This study reveals that the RC building located in the SDC A region satisfies the target collapse probability. However, buildings located in SDC B, C, and D regions do not meet the target collapse probability. Since the degree of exceedance of the target probability increases with an increase in the SDC level, it is imminent to retrofit non-ductile RC buildings similar to the model building. It can be confirmed that repair and reinforcement of old reinforced concrete buildings are required.
In this study, the seismic safety of nuclear power plant structures is evaluated and verified by performing a vibration test on a relatively simple shear wall structure. The shear walls are the prominent members of nuclear power plants and resist the seismic load. The shear wall structure is designed and manufactured to perform shaking table tests and is used to increase the accuracy of the analytical method by comparing them with the numerical analysis results. Different results will be checked and more efficient application methods will be studied depending on the method of designing reinforced concrete structures.
철근콘크리트 기둥에서 후프철근의 내진갈고리 시공성을 개선하기 위하여 기존 연구에서 “띠철근 갈고리 뽑힘 방지 장치”인 RCC장치(Rebar Confinement Clip)를 제안하여 인발실험을 통한 부착 및 정착성능 실험을 실시하였다. 그러나, 기존 연구의 실험에서는 콘크리트 구조기준에서 제시하는 피복두께를 준수하지 않았다. 그러므로, 보다 신뢰성 있는 실험 결과를 도출하 기 위하여 기준에서 제시하는 피복두께를 준수한 실험체로 실험을 실시할 필요가 있다. 이를 위하여 총 6개 실험체를 제작하여 실험을 실시하였으며 실험결과, 부착 및 정착의 합성강도는 RCC장치로 체결된 띠철근의 갈고리가 내진갈고리가 발휘하는 강도 보다 높게 나타났다. 또한, 내진갈고리의 실험체 균열 진전 및 파괴 양상과 RCC장치로 체결된 띠철근의 실험체는 유사하게 나타났다. 그러므로, 콘크리트 피복두께를 준수한 실험체에서 RCC장치로 띠철근에 체결할 경우 내진갈고리가 발휘하는 동등한 성능을 보유하고 있는 것으로 평가된다.
내진설계규정이 정립되기 전에 시공된 콘크리트 교각의 경우 횡철근을 겹침이음하거나 최소한의 배근으로 최적화를 유도하였다. 따라서 지진하중 발생 시 지진에너지를 소산할 수 있는 에너지 감쇠의 효과가 기존 교각들에는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문은 반복하중을 받는 원형콘크리트 교각 외부에 강판, GFRP, CFRP 보강을 적용한 경우, 교각의 지진대응 성능 향상도를 정량적으로 평가하였다. 범용유한요소해석프로그램인 ABAQUS의 다양한 3차원 요소를 적용하여 교각 구조물을 모델링하였으며,하중은 교각 상부에 횡방향 동적하중과 교각 전체 자중이 고려되었다. 하중-변위 곡선, 응력-변형률 곡선, 연성도, 에너지 흡수 능력(연성도), 손상도를 고려하여 보강에 따른 교각의 내진성능 향상도를 비교분석하였다. 비보강 콘크리트 교각의 경우 연성도는 78%로 취성파괴 구조물이었으나, 강판보강의 경우 91.0%, GFRP보강의 경우 91.9%, CFRP보강의 경우 92.0%이다. 세 가지 보강의 종류를 비교한 결과 강도, 연성도, 손상도 모두에 있어서 CFRP보강의 경우가 가장 큰 증진 효과를 보이고 있다.
The purpose of this paper is to improve the inappropriate analysis results when the end of the brace on braced frame is applied as pinned connection in practice. The stiffness of the gusset plate connection on the braced frame has the amount of between pinned and rigid connection, and the analysis model that applies the stiffness of the connection must be used for accurate performance evaluation. In this study, the stiffness of the gusset plate designed by the balanced design procedure are quantified, and applied to the analysis model to simulate the gusset plate connection. The proposed model was verified through nonlinear static analysis (pushover analysis) of SAP2000. The effect of the connection on the seismic performance of the braced frame was analyzed by comparing the proposed model and pinned model. As a result, it was confirmed that the performance of the braced frame was evaluated conservatively in practice, and the ductility was overestimated. Therefore, it is important to consider the connection for accurate and economical performance evaluation.
