This study assesses the adequacy of a critical value of the FEMA 273 for beams utilized in the present performance-based design. From the comparison the critical values of FEMA 273 with those of previous experimental result about beams, it was shown that FEMA 273 underestimated the critical values. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a research to find the hysteresis model for the performance-based design considering the hysteretic behavior of domestic reinforced concrete members.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the seismic performance of RC frame building which was retrofitted by wing walls. At fitst, the seismic performance evaluation was performed on the deteriorated RC frame building by using capacity spectrum method. And the efficiency of the retrofit by using wing walls was checked from the evaluation of its seismic capacity for various layout. As a results, it was found that the wing wall increased the stiffness and strength of the building.

This paper presents a design process of columns in precast concrete frame building structure constructed by using hollowed precast concrete (HPC) column. An example PC frame building was designed and the structural safety of HPC columns was checked as a form for during slab construction and a composite column for design load after construction based on the previous research.
