In this paper, Nonlinear Static Pushover analysis method(NSP) is proposed which apply to RC buildings reinforced by external retrofit fornseismic performance. Based on previous analysis and research, NSP is more developed by connection nonlinearity according to shearnresistance mechanism such as dowel and adhesive resistance as major shear resistance elements. According to the proposed method,nstructural analysis for example buildings was carried out to evaluate seismic performance of buildings. And, it was confirmed thatndepending on shear strain and characteristics of joint resistant of external retrofitting are different from internal retrofitting. Furthermore,nthe strength reduction coefficient of the anchor needs to be considered at the joint design.

This paper deals with steel braced frame as increasing the lateral strength and ductility in order to seismic retrofit of existing buildings and discusses the designing criteria and calculation method of retrofitted buildings. The addition of steel braced frame can be effective for increasing the lateral strength and ductility of existing buildings. However, There is a problem in utilizing this method. It is the approach to provide an adequate connection between the existing RC frame and the installed steel braced frame, because global strength by failure mode(three type) depends on detail of connection and strength of existing RC frame. So, the designer must be confirmed if it satisfies the required performance or not. Failure mode of type I is the most appropriate for increasing the lateral strength and ductility. Seismic performance evaluation and strength calculation of seismic retrofit are performed by guideline by KISTEC(Korea Infrastructure Safety & Technology)’s “seismic performance evaluation and rehabilitation of existing buildings” and Japan Building Disaster Prevention Association. Buildings are modeled and non-linear pushover analysis are performed using MIDAS program.

This paper present change and expectation effectiveness after reforming raw and revising guideline about seismic performance evaluation of buildings. After reforming raw, many high-rise and large spatial structure will be included as ‘duty subjection of seismic performance evaluation’. And the guideline will change performance objectives, seismic hazard and require nonlinear dynamic analysis, structural consideration about masonry etc. After this reformation and revision, it is expected that the duty subjection of seismic performance evaluation will be extended and the raw and guideline require more high-degree specialization.

There are bolt tightening torque decision standards in KSB 0101 for high tension bolt(torque calculation method) and in KSB 0140 for general bolts(general rule for bolt tightening torque decision), But in bolt torque decision general rule method, using Stainless bolt, friction coefficients between bolt and to-be-bolted object will rule the calculated yielding contraction axle force and yielding contraction torque, making it hard to determine the contraction torque in the field. So in other to help determine the contraction torque for stainless bolts(STS304) in field using high tension bolt torque decision method, the needed torque for stainless bolt(STS304) is calculated referencing high tension bolt torque decision method. And the calculated torque is planned to be compared to field test results.
