The behavior of the Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD) which has been widely used for mitigating structural vibration is generally modeled by linear wave theory and its vibration control performance is evaluated using Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) analogy. However, some previous studies showed that the properties of the TLD such as natural frequency and damping ratio were dependent on the excitation amplitude. In this study, the dynamic nonlinear characteristics of the TLD are investigated by shaking table test with varying excitation amplitude. In case of harmonic excitation experimentation, the damping ratio, natural frequency, and effective mass are obtained through envelope curves overlap of time-history curve from measured base shear and analogy base shear using simulation a freedom of simple degree modeling. In the white noise experimentation, the parameters obtained through curve-fitting of the transfer function from the table acceleration to the base shear.

In this study, the vibration control performance of Tuned Liquid Damper(TLD) with nonlinear properties is investigate by a with shaking table test according to large excitation. Until recently, TLDs has been investigated by behavior of liquid using equivalent TMD analogy and liner wave theory. The properties of TLDs assumed immutable but became generally known as a matter of fact TLDs behavior has a nonlinear properties that change the TLDs characteristics according to excitation. It was measured base shear and wave height in water tank at 0.01g to 0.06g as 0.01g intercals and tuned 0.6Hz, 0.8Hz. The result of shaking table test showed trend decreased amplification ratio of base shear and wave height as more increased peak accelearation of vibration, what is more jump frequency that dependent excitation dimension.

In this study, in order to investigate the effectiveness of tuned liquid damper (TLD) for the seismic performance enhancement of the existing reinforced concrete (RC) apartment structure which is not seismically designed, shaking table test was conducted for the small scale five story RC structure with TLD. TLD model was constructed to have the frequency tuned to the first modal frequency of the structure, 2% mass ratio of the first modal mass, and 0.08 liquid depth ratio. White noise with 0.2~5Hz frequency bandwidth and harmonic load tests were performed using the shaking table at Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, and the displacement and absolute acceleration of each floor were measured. Test results indicate that more than 30% seismic responses reduction can be achieved using TLD for RC structure under white noise and harmonic load.

The apartment structures built using tunnel form method in 1980's, are vulnerable to lateral loads since wall elements don't exist in longitudinal direction and especially they were not seismically designed. In this study, in order to evaluate the seismic performance of those apartment structures, nonlinear analysis was performed and static test was conducted using small scale partial specimen. Both shear and moment should be considered for the structure subject to lateral load. Most existing methods, however, consider only shear force in test specimen because it is difficult to realize the actual moment distribution of the practical structure, and furthermore axial force is often neglected. This study propose a testing method which can realize similar moment and axial force distribution of a specimen to that of the practical structure by controlling the lateral loading condition. Numerical analysis was performed using moment-curvature curve considering stiffness degrading parameter, ductility-based strength and energy dissipation. The result of this study shows that only 15~20% difference exist between analysis and test, which confirms that the performance of wall elements in a non-seismically designed wall type reinforced concrete apartment can be accurately evaluated.

The seismically design of building has objects to minimize in judge of people by preventing brittle fracture and to guarantee serviceability of building. But I come to the conclusion that the seismically design is not easy to use, even though we recently use it applyed with shear wall-type evaluation method, because we don't know how to estimate seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete wall-type apartment and evaluation method of wall-type apartment. so in this study, we conduct analysis program by using MIDAS-Gen & MIDAS-SDS, structure analysis program, after conducting a preliminary evaluation about research apartment by seismic performance evaluation method of existing safety & Technology corporation. In addition we show the problem when research apartment is applied with shear wall-type evaluation method that is estimate and grade of seismic performance level by capacity spectrum method.

Recently, earthquakes occur over 30 times a year in Korea. In addition, earthquakes originating from the neighborhood countries were sensed in Korea and caused serious human casualties and economic loss. In Japan, U.S.A., New Zealand and etc., forces seismic design of building structures to prevent seismic damage. In Korea, seismic design has been applied to building structures with a scale larger than defined in the building code since 1988. However, serious seismic damages are expected for wall-type apartment buildings, which were designed before 1988 without application of seismic design. Therefore, appropriate seismic retrofitting methods that are economical and easy to construct are required for such buildings. In this study, seismic retrofitting methods using steel plates or sections are developed for the wall-type apartment buildings. Proposed retrofitting methods improve lateral stiffness of the wall-slab system without excessive increment of loads on base structure. The effect of retrofitting using plates, T-sections and H-sections was examined experimentally for wall-slap system test models. In the experiment, the performance of the joint and slab of the test models was improved and the retrofitting effect was proved to be excellent.

Earthquake resistance design has been developed many countries like Japan, USA, Mexico, New Zealand etc., which countries have experienced many earthquakes. Nowadays, earthquake resistance design has come into worldwide use. In Korea, the seismic design regulations have been established since 1988 in order to minimize the economic losses. Recently performance based design method has been adopted as a new Earthquake resistance design method. These regulations, however, are targeted for newly constructed buildings, In Korea, there are no regulations for existing buildings that built before 1988. So, we need to prepare the regulations that evaluate the seismic performance, furthermore proper retrofitting design guideline needs to be proposed when remodeling old buildings. This study was performed that many existing apartments is being a Remodeling object when considering the present condition of existing apartment and the problerns of cost and environment in the future plan. When Remodeling construction is reviewed by former the Seismic Performance Evaluation Method, generating problems is evaluation by using Push-over. According to this, it provides the appropriate method of calculating the Seismic Performance Index.

Recent building structures are superior in its ability but they are light and flexible, and so have problems of habitability induced by building vibration. In general, the problem of vertical vibration is not considered in structural design. However, in terms of serviceability for inhabitants in buildings, the estimation of vertical vibration in design stage is important. Characteristics of vertical vibration is changed by modeling method of beam-column joint. To check the characteristics of vertical vibration, many tests and analyses were conducted on constructing building in Seoul. Results of tests and analyses were compared using transfer function. As a results, to check the vertical vibration characteristics, the cramp ratio of beam-column joint must be considered and reduced to 50% ~ 60% in structural design.

This paper proposes substructuring method using experimental model of only upper MDOF structure and verifies its applicability to shaking table test. The structure considered in the test is a five-stoty shear type building model which is divided into two parts, of which one is lower three floors for a numerical substructure and the other is upper two floors for a experinlental substructure. The experimental substructure is excited by the shaking table and the acceleration data for the input of shaking table is obtained numerically from lower numerical part. For implementation of the proposed substructuring method, a controller of the shaking table is designed reflecting experimental model. In comparison with acceleration responses, which are measured from experinlental part of 3rd, 4th, and 5th floor and are numerically calculated from the original five-stoty structure, it is observed that the experimental results match well with the numerical results in both time and frequency domain.
