Recently, Earthquake occurrence in korea has become frequent, and the seismic safety of low-rise piloti buildings becomes more and more important. In this study, the seismic retrofit method of low-rise eccentric core type piloti building structures using concrete filled steel tube (CFT) columns was analysed and verified for seismic performance.

For the safe design of steel-concrete composite structure, usable yield strength of steels are limited in most of design standard. However, this limitation sometimes cause the uneconomical design for some kind of members such as slender columns which was affected by elastic buckling load. For the economical design for slender columns, parametric study of RCFT (Rectangular CFT) with high-strength steel is conducted, especially investigating the limitation of yield strength of high-strength steels. Using ABAQUS, finite element analysis program, the finite element model was constructed and calibrated with experimental study for RCFT with high strength steel which have yield strength up to 680MPa. Investigated design parameters are yield strength of steel, compressive strength of concrete, steel thickness and slenderness ratio. The effect of desgn parameters were compared with design standard, KBC-09. From the parametric study with 54 models and previous test specimens, RCFT can be safely design with higher yield strength of steels than currently limited by KBC for large range of slenderness ratio.

The object of this study is to review hysteretic characteristics of RC column that increase seismic performance by attaching CFT(Concrete Filled Steel Tube). For the attainment of this purpose, Static test and FE- Analysis for column under lateral cyclic loading and constant axial load were conducted. Push over curve obtained from FE-analysis using ATENA 3D corresponds with hysteretic curve of experimental data. And then structural stability and superiority for retrofitted RC members in terms of strength enhancement is verified

두께가 얇은 강관을 사용한 CFT기둥은 강관의 국부좌굴에 대한 구속효과로 내력상승을 기대할 수 있으므로 폭두께비가 작은 강관 CFT기둥에 비해 경제성을 확보할 수 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 각형 CFT기둥에 대한 기존 설계식의 타당성을 입증하고, 내력 증대에 따른 강관 폭두께비의 사용성 한계를 확인하고자 하였다. 실험의 주요변수로는 강관의 폭두께비, 콘크리트 각주의 높이 및 콘크리트 충전 유무로 하였다. 실험결과, 고강도 콘크리트를 충전한 박판의 각형강관기둥에서 충전콘크리트의 압축내력에 대한 강관의 구속효과가 크게 나타났으며, 비선형 해석에 따르면, 실험결과에 의한 내력은 전체 CFT단주 실험체에서해석값보다 다소 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.
