The Recent earthquake damage of surrounding countries is increasing, occurrence of frequent earthquakes in the country, thus, the interest about the seismic performance of the structure is increasing. Korea, was established in 2008 earthquake measures method, KBC2009 was also amended by design standards. KBC2009 based seismic design and seismic strengthening has become mandatory, Design of the building before the current seismic design standards must be satisfied in KBC2009. Therefore, ATC-40, FEMA-273 and seismic performance evaluation of Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation will conduct the seismic performance evaluation at the Previous design code building.

Recent earthquake events arising all over the world, cause serious damages to material/ human resources every year. South Korea, categorized to be relatively safe from earthquakes, recently became subject to frequent seismic events, which made it essential to prepare for damages caused by such events. Failure of hydraulic structures, such as dams, can cause serious damages to resources in the lower reaches of a river. In this study, as a counterproposal for deterministic safety assessment for seismic events on dams, which cannot take into account the uncertainty of various parameters, a method is introduced which constructs a safety chart by creating an artificial seismic wave considering uncertainties of seismic sources, propagation paths and site effects.

To evaluate seismic performance of rail type modular bridge expansion joint system with excellent durability and large expansion length, we tested simulation of the seismic behavior in the thesis. Seismic response behavior analysis created artificial seismic wave applying design basis response spectrum from Korea(KS), USA(AASHTO LRFD) and Europe(Eurocode) standards.

Currently the seismic performance evaluation for existing buildings are being made simply through the review of the analytical technique corresponding to design specifications on beam, column, shear wall, joint and so on. Also the seismic performance is evaluated to 4 steps as immediate occupancy level(IO), life safety level(LS), collapse prevention level(CP), collapse occurrence level(CO). However, in case of a structure being used for a number of years after construction, which may have partial damages and durability degradations may show significant differences between the analysis results and the actual behavior during an earthquake. Therefore, a improved seismic performance assessment is proposed based on risk assessment and seismic performance techniques since more systematic evaluation and condition assessment are required, and thus the practical and economical seismic retrofit measures for the existing facilities and for the reasonable seismic design as well are to be developed more than ever before.

To evaluate the displacement and velocity dependency of metallic damper which has clamped type strut, cyclic tests are conducted by the target displacement am velocity variables. From the evaluation results of dependence tests, number of cycles are fully exceeded than minimum 5 cycles described in ASCE 7-10.

In this paper, the seismic performance of framed building with porous hysteretic damping system is examined by comparing the beam-column stiffness ratio. Analytical results show that in case of maximum displacement, acceleration, and shear force, the decrease in ρ=2.00 is larger than the decrease in ρ=0.10. But results appeared differently according to a number of stories that damper installed.

Generally, levee design is performed through deterministic methods. However, deterministic methods, which are unable to take into account the heterogeneity of a physical system, is limited to overcome variable uncertainties taking place in the natural phenomena. Accordingly, structure design based on reliability analysis considering the uncertainty of variables are getting spotlight. Climate changes and global warming occurring all over the world, are ground to frequent natural disasters, such as earthquakes, which can lead to serious damages based on their magnitude. In this research, a seismic safety assessment method for levees is introduced, adopting the concept of reliability analysis methods.

In this paper, the seismic performance of RC frame with deterioration of structural capacity was evaluated by using capacity spectrum method. And the efficiency of retrofit by using infilled masonry was checked from the evaluation of its seismic capacity for various layout. As a results, it was found that the masonry infill wall increased the stiffness and strength, but reduced ductility.

In this study, experimental research was carried out to improve and evaluate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete beam-column joint using Groove and Embedding FRP Rod and CFRP Sheet in existing reinforced concrete building. Test result shows that retrofitting specimen(RBCJ-SR2, SRCB2) designed by the improvement of seismic performance of reinforced concrete beam-column joints load-carrying capacities were increased 1.78 ~ 2.29 times in comparison with the standard specimen.

In this study, we have proposed a modular construction method can lower the reinforcement cost of the building, to shorten the construction period. We have developed a Mock-up, it is intended to use as basic data to the activation of the vertical extension of future reform.

Based on the study of chloride migration coefficient and hydration heat evolution, it was found that the use of ternary blended cement was effective to achieve desired service life and minimum crack index. On the other hand, a high level of compressive strength is required for marine concrete mix design.

In this paper, construction staged-analysis is introduced to understand how the additional loads transfer to existing and added piles. Added piles are not able to take on the existing load due to mechanical problem.

Modular Housing has benefits to reduce the production time on-site and cost down. It is possible to expand the space by connecting the unit. For this reason, recently, modular remodeling market is growing. this study is suggests plans for modular housing remodeling process.

This study is to establish a structural analysis method that can apply a unit modular system to a remodeling extension. Structural design has to be performed after considering the behaviors between the existing structures and the modular system because the modular system is added after the transformation of existing structures has been processed. The structural analysis process, which can reflect the behaviors between the existing building and the modular system, is introduced in a five-staged structural analysis.

Therefore, the example of structural analysis of an existing building is introduced.

This paper introduce a reinforcement method for vertical extension of a building using a rahmen frame structural system. This approach has to be carried out by considering the structural safety due to the additional weights being exerted to the pre-existing building. The connections to fasten both the rahmen frames and original building were designed with the axial loads and moments acting on the rahmen frame structural system, that is extended vertically. This system reduces the structure self-weight and ensures non-additional of reinforcement.

Needs for a new technologies of infrastructure systems arose, following the development of next generation EMU(Electric Multiple Unit) train with maximum speed over 400km/h. For high-speed operation tests of the new EMU, a high-speed railway infrastructure test-bed was constructed in a 28km long section of the Honam High-speed Railway. Diverse sensors and monitoring system was installed for continuous monitoring of the railway. Due to such effort, further demands and needs of the integrated monitoring system was derived in a more comprehensive and long-term perspective.
