This paper indicates seismic performance of wing walls using Engineered Cement Composite (ECC). The variable of specimens is 2 side connect and 3 side connect in RC frame.

This paper deals with steel braced frame as increasing the lateral strength and ductility in order to seismic retrofit 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. So, the designer must be confirmed if it satisfies the required performance or not.

지진 피해 상황을 살펴보면 중소 규모의 지진이 발생하였을 때 구조물의 붕괴에 의한 직접적인 피해가 아닌 화재와 같이 소화 설비, 전력설비, 통신설비 등 주요 기간설비의 기능상실로 인한 피해가 많이 일어나고 있다. 이와 같은 2차 피해를 줄이기 위해 소화설비의 내진설계는 반드시 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 수계소화설비의 내진성능 평가를 위하여 골조 구조물에 옥내소화전설비(배관, 펌프, 수조, 소화전)를 설치하여 진동대 실험을 실시하였다. 그리고 일반시설물과 내진시설물의 거동차이를 확인하기 위하여 각 설비는 기존 건축물에 시공되어 온 일반형 시설물과 내진형 시설물을 동시에 시공하여 시험을 수행하였다. 또한, 시설물의 거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 시설별 변위응답, 가속도 응답, 가속도 응답 스펙트럼을 분석하여 시설물에 대한 내진성능을 평가하였다.

최근 발생한 대규모 지진으로 구조물의 내진보강에 대한 사회적 관심도가 높아지고 있다. 특히 내진설계가 반영되지 않은 기둥의 경우 지진에 의한 횡하중을 저항하지 못하고, 취성적인 파괴가 유발되어 구조물 전체적 붕괴를 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 빠른 시간내에 보강이 가능하면서 기둥에 손상을 주지 않는 기존의 보강법과 구별되는 응급 보강법이 필요하다. 과거에는 기둥 보강법으로 단면 증설법과 강판보강법 등이 개발되어 현장에 적용되었지만, 최근에는 FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer)의 장점을 활용한 탄소섬유시트공법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 긴급시공이 가능한 체결식 FRP 내진보강재를 사용한 구조물의 내진성능보강효과를 검토하고자 하였다. 검토를 위하여 실제 구조물의 축소모델의 철근콘크리트 시험체를 제작하고 횡방향 변위하중을 가력하였다. FRP 내진보강재를 이용한 내진보강시공후 실내시험을 통하여 내진성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과 개발된 보강재의 철근콘크리트 구조물에 보강 시, 내진성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

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.

In this study, after performing a full-scale dynamic testing of unreinforced masonry buildings, the experimental results and developed seismic performance evaluation program of existing unreinforced masonry buildings were verified by comparing the results of the program.

Recently, Seismic design criteria for major domestic structures has been being improved constantly, because the importance of seismic design for major public infrastructures is largely recognized. A preliminary assessment of the seismic performance on the existing railway tunnel, a precedent task before conducting a detailed assessment, can be use as the standard of judgement to decide whether to perform a detailed assessment or not. On the other hand, There are no reasonable study in this area. In this study, an assessment method was presented to evaluate a seismic performance of the existing railway tunnels which seismic design are not performed more economically and rationally.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a RCS strengthening method for medium & low-rise R/C buildings using the nonlinear analyses of member levels. In this study, a three-story R/C buildings that represents a typical Korean school building constructed in the 1980s was selected. Seismic capacities of the building before and after strengthening with the RCS method are evaluated using the nonlinear static & dynamic analyses of member levels.

The purpose of this paper is to verify the seismic strengthening effect of R/C buildings strengthened with the Carbon Fiber Composite Cable (CFCC) In this study, a three-story R/C building that constructed in the 1980s was selected, and its seismic performance before and after strengthening was evaluated based on the nonlinear dynamic analyses of members levels. The result indicated that the seismic strengthening effect of the proposed CFCC method was verified in terms of both strength and ductility demands, compared to the building before strengthening.

In this study, experimental research was carried out to improve and evaluate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete beam-column joint using Embedded Carbon Fiber Rod and Carbon Fiber Sheet in existing reinforced concrete building. Test result shows that retrofitting specimen(LBCJ-SP45, CS2, CRUS) designed by the improvement of seismic performance of reinforced concrete beam-column joints load-carrying capacities were increased 1.34 ~ 1.54 times in comparison with the standard specimen.

Eight small scale circular reinforced concrete columns were tested under cyclic lateral load with constant axial load. Test specimens were designed with 4.5 aspect ratio. The selected test variables are longitudinal steel ratio, transverse steel ratio, yielding strength of longitudinal steel and axial load ratio. The test results of columns with different longitudinal steel ratio, transverse steel ratio and axial load ratio showed different seismic performance such as equivalent damping ratio, residual displacement and effective stiffness. It was found that the column with low strength of longitudinal steel showed significantly reduced seismic performance, especially for equivalent damping ratio and residual displacement. The regulation of flexural over-strength is adopted by Korea Bridge Design Specifications (Limited state design, 2012). The test results are compared with nominal strength, result of nonlinear moment-curvature analysis and the design specifications such as AASHTO LRFD and Korea Bridge Design Specifications (Limited state design).

This study presents the evaluations of seismic performance and displacement ductility for two types of RC columns: existing RC column without SFM (Super Flexibility Membrane) and CSF (RC columns strengthened with SFM). After they are analyzed by the experiment as well as FEM, crack patterns and load-displacement curve of CSF by the former are shown to similar to those of CSF by the latter. The flexural cracks are dominant in CSF, whereas shear cracks in CNF (existing RC column without SFM). Displacement ductility of CSF is shown significantly to increase as well as ultimate displacement, compared to those of CNF. Therefore CSF can be replaced to CNF in order to increase the seismic performance and displacement ductility.

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.

This study revealed that seismic retrofit technology which has to conduct seismic retrofit work after removing facing walls from a reinforced concrete structured building constructed with masonry walls and facing walls, bears disadvantages of additional costs both for removal of facing walls and for brick masonry and possibility to incur the secondary damage from collapse of facing walls. Therefore, this study aims to develop a seismic retrofit technique and examines its performance which can yield sufficient seismic retrofit effect without additional retrofit of facing walls by forming a pile-bent reinforced concrete walls with facing walls after removing masonry walls.
