Recent decades, maintenance and reconstruction have been paid attention to old buildings. Especially, it has been recognized that seismic retrofit measures are necessary for non-reinforced masonry buildings which are used for prevailing building constructions. However, such applications can be limited due to its excessive costs, long-period, and inherent difficulty in securing construction spaces. For this reason, different reinforcement methods have been proposed by previous researchers in the economic manner. This study carried out an adhesive retrofit material upgrading low workability and excessive costs of existing reinforcement methods and, in turn, verified the level of seismic reinforcement throughout experimental studies. In order for the objectives, masonry walls with an aspect ratio of 1.0 were designed and manufactured. Also, effective parameters which are affected by openings, adhesive material types, the number of reinforcement layers, and lateral load levels were established. Experimental results showed that MW specimens without openings were collapsed for low-seismic resistances resulting from rocking failure modes, while strength and displacement capacities were improved for reinforced openings. Also, R-MWO-3F specimens with opening which was enhanced for three layers of stiffener showed displacement, ductility capacities, and energy dissipating capacities in the stable manner, even satisfying the collapse prevention level proposed in the current seismic codes.

This report offers an economically reasonable seismic reinforcement to non-seismic mid/low reinforced concrete structures. Installed a slit in between the reinforced concrete frame and masonry infilled wall then inserted twist bar to prevent inversion and attached to the lower/upper beam. Confirmed the seismic reinforcement effect through static loading test. Total of 4 specimens were produced for the test, a masonry infilled wall without seismic reinforcement and with seismic slit or twist bar applied. As a result, applying the seismic slit and twisted bar was economically reasonable and seismic reinforcement effect was confirmed by showing stable failure, increase of maximum strength and yield displacement, increase of accumulated energy dissipation.

In recent years, industrial demands for superior mechanical properties of powder metallurgy steel components with low cost are rapidly growing. Sinter hardening that combines sintering and heat treatment in continuous one step is cost-effective. The cooling rate during the sinter hardening process dominates material microstructures, which finally determine the mechanical properties of the parts. This research establishes a numerical model of the relation between various cooling rates and microstructures in a sinter hardenable material. The evolution of a martensitic phase in the treated microstructure during end quench tests using various cooling media of water, oil, and air is predicted from the cooling rate, which is influenced by cooling conditions, using the finite element method simulations. The effects of the cooling condition on the microstructure of the sinter hardening material are found. The obtained limiting size of the sinter hardening part is helpful to design complicate shaped components.

This study is intended to Mindori structure which is general private houses' structural type among traditional types and is a basic study to confirm structural characteristics of Hwatong connection which is general connection type of column-beam-cross beam. It is aimed to analyze how main member ,column, such as size, figure, thickness of Sungetuk and Dugeup affect on structure. Following conclusions are drawn. 1. According to connection conditions, models with big coefficient of friction show stable hysteretic behavior until the angle rotation of member reaches 1/60 and models with small coefficient of friction show dramatical increase in load after the angle rotation of member reaches 1/24. After the angle rotation of member reaches 1/30, separation distance of members is identified physically and cracks are not observed. 2. Specimens with big coefficient of friction show similar inner force regardless of column size(except column size 150mm) and models with small coefficient of friction show increasing inner force as the column size increases. Specimens with same sectional area have similar inner force even though the column figures are different. The thickness of Sungetuk and Dugeup doesn't affect inner force greatly, however, when the thickness of Sungetuk is thin, it could lead to failure of structure as it breaks. 3. The bigger the size of column and the coefficient of friction are, the smaller Bending stiffness depreciation ratio is. 4. Energy Dissipation Efficiency differs from the coefficient of friction. When the coefficient of friction is big, square column shows bigger than round one and it is bigger when the thickness of Sungetuk and Dugeup is thicker. When the coefficient of friction is small, round column shows bigger than square one.

Western style timber roof trusses used as typical roof structures of buildings during a modern period have been developed with the interactions with their facade and functionality. The shapes of trusses and member sizes have been diversely changed by the purposes of architects, historical circumstances, and structural characteristics. For this reason, the change in the shapes of western style timber trusses along the times is one of important technology assets demonstrating the development of their structures during the modern period. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to find out their structural characteristics throughout parametric analysis of which parameters were determined from the collected and classified documents on western style timber roof structure built in the modern period carefully obtained from public institutions. Results of the parametric analysis are as follows. The number of king-post trusses and modified king-post trusses built between 1920 and 1937 reaches almost half of the total number of truss types investigated. The mean values of their spans, distances, tributary areas, and height are respectively, 10.5m, 2.4m, 24.37㎡ and 3.24m. The cross-section areas of trusses tend to reduce since the city construction law was enacted in 1920. Also, this study found that western architects usually used larger structural members than eastern architects and usages and finishing materials of roof trusses are not always considered as one of the important design parameters.

비록 제한된 범위내에서나마 일련의 유한요소해석을 통하여 비보강 조적조 벽체의 면내방향 내진성능을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 비보강 조적벽체는 연속체로 가정하여 등방성 평면응력요소로 취급하였으며, 비보강 조적조의 균열거동을 위하여 균열특성이 요소내에 분포하는 것으로 가정하는 분포균열모델을 사용하였다. 모두 70가지 서로 다른 경우의 비보강 조적벽체 모델을 해석하였는데, 축력비, 형상비 및 유효단면적비 등의 변수를 고려하였다. 해석결과 이들 변수가 비보강 조적벽체의 극한강도에 지대한 영향을 미치며 상호 작용하는 것으로 확인되었다. 비보강 조적벽체의 여러 가지 취성적 요인과 복합적인 파괴형태의 가능성을 감안하여 현재 우리 나라 규준에서 사용하고 있는 반응수정계수의 크기를 재고하여야 함이 지적되었다.

비보강 조적조 건축물은 재료의 특성상 지진과 같은 횡력에 취약하지만, 국내에는 여전히 많은 조적조 건물이 존재한다. 특히 현재 남아있는 조적조 건축물의 대부분이 20년 이상 노후화됨에 따라 재해감소를 위한 경제성 있는 보강법의 개발이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러 한 노후 된 조적조 건축물의 보강법의 하나로 접착형 보강재를 활용한 조적벽체의 외부 보강법을 제시하였으며, 보강효과 검증을 위해 총 6개 의 실험체를 형상비(L/H=1.0, 1.3, 2.0)를 변수로 제작하여 정적가력실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 보강전·후 조적벽체는 강체회전 및 미끄러 짐에 의해 파괴가 발생하였고, 접착형 보강재 부착후 벽체의 최대내력, 최대변위, 소산에너지량은 증가하여 우수한 보강효과를 확인하였다. 또 한 기존 유리섬유를 활용한 증가된 전단강도식에 착안하여 비보강 조적벽체에 대한 접착형 보강재의 설계안을 도출하여 적용을 위한 기초자 료를 제공하였다.

In the experiment results, when the adhesion of the adhesive retrofit material was secured, the shear strength and the yield displacement ratio of the masonry walls were largely improved, and the falling of the walls did not happen, which has verified the retrofitting effect of the adhesive retrofit material.

조적조 건축물은 국내 소규모 주택의 많은 부분을 차지하지만 취성적 거동 및 낮은 연성능력으로 현재에는 사용빈도가 많이 낮아졌다. 그럼에도 불구하고 조적조 건축물의 낮은 건축비, 재료의 친환경성은 국외를 중심으로 새롭게 각광 받으면서 구조적 단점을 해결하고자 많 은 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 조적벽체 및 교차부 실험체를 제작하여 신축줄눈 유⋅무에 따른 구조적 거동의 차이를 확인하고, 연결철물 (스틸플레이트, 스테인리스 트위스트바) 삽입에 따른 보강효과를 검증하였다. 실험결과를 통해 스틸플레이트를 삽입한 실험체는 내력이 증가되어 실험체의 강성이 향상되었으며, 스테인리스 트위스트바를 삽입한 실험체는 연성능력이 향상되어 취성파괴가 발생하지 않 아, 연결철물 삽입에 따른 보강효과는 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

An experiment to understand how natural fiber reinforcement would influence rammed earth P-δ curves was conducted. The experiment results showed that the natural fiber reinforcement had generally increased loads of specimens and that the longer the fibers and the higher the mixing ratios, the lpad degradation after failures tend to be slowly appeared.

This study carried out a series of seismic tests to elucidate the difference of movements between two buildings with or without masonry infilled wall in reinforced concrete frames which have no quake proof plan. Both of the experimental buildings showed irreversible deformity at low drift ratio of 0.6%. The strength and stiffness of the building with masonry infilled wall were higher than those of the building without masonry infilled wall, while the ductility of the former being lower than that of the latter. Thus it led to more brittle tendency of the former.

Woods are used as a main material for the domestic Traditional Buildings and most Traditional Wood Structures should be conserved as Traditional Assets. To be conserved, structural performance should be evaluated. So traits of the materials are to be studied. Therefore characteristics of structural deterioration of Traditional Wood Structures are to be analysed on this study.

비보강 조적벽체를 이용한 저층 건축물은 국내에 가장 흔히 볼 수 있는 주거형태이지만, 비보강 조적벽체는 높은 횡강성에 비하여 연성능력 부족 등의 이유로 지진으로부터 구조적 피해를 피하기 힘든 횡력저항시스템으로 알려져 있다. 하지만, 국내 비보강 조적벽체 전단강도와 전단강성에 대한 실험적 연구는 부족한 편이며, 실제 지진이 발생했을 비보강 조적벽체를 횡력저항요소로 사용하는 건축물의 내진성능에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 부족한 실정이다. 이로 인하여 국내 비보강 조적벽체의 특성을 반영하고 있다고 볼 수 없는 FEMA 356에서 제시하고 있는 비보강 조적벽체의 전단강도와 강성을 준용하여 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우선 FEMA 356에서 제시하고 비보강 조적벽체의 전단강도와 강성을 실험결과와의 차이에 대해 기술하고, 이 차이가 현황조사와 실험데이터를 바탕으로 결정한 표본 비보강 조적조 건축물의 내진성능에 미치는 영향과 경과년수에 따른 영향을 증분동적해석을 이용하여 계산된 붕괴여유비와 구조성능의 불확실성을 표현하는 베타값을 이용하여 분석하였다. 해석결과를 통하여 FEMA 356에 의한 전단강도와 강성을 사용할 경우 조적조 건축물의 붕괴여유비와 베타값을 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 두 경우 모두 국내 내진설계기준에서 제시하는 성능기준을 만족하지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 경과연수가 클수록 이런 현상은 뚜렷해지며, 30년 이상 경과된 조적조 건축물은 2400년 재현주기의 지진에 붕괴확률이 약 90%에 도달하는 것으로 나타났다.
