The use of dampers is being considered a means to improve the seismic performance of buildings. It may take considerable time and effort to find an optimal design solution since repeated three-dimensional nonlinear time history analyses are required. Therefore, a preliminary design procedure for seismic retrofit using hysteretic dampers was proposed in this study. In the proposed procedure, the amount of retrofit (required number of dampers) is estimated from the capacity curve of the building before retrofit and allowable story drift of the building. In combining the capacity curves of the building and the dampers, the deformation demand for the dampers can be easily checked against their deformation capacity. The equations to transform the device displacement to roof displacement for the combination of capacity curves are developed. The proposed procedure was applied to the seismic retrofit design of sample buildings. The study found that the estimated capacity curve was very close to the actual capacity curve obtained from the pushover analysis, which can determine an appropriate configuration to meet the required seismic performance.

본 연구의 목적은 마찰 감쇠기를 사용한 기존 구조물의 제진보강 설계절차를 제시하는 것이다. 보강된 구조물의 목표 지붕층 변위는 기존 구조물이 급격한 강도의 저감없이 보유내력을 발휘할 수 있는 최대변위를 초과하지 않도록 결정하였다. 보강 구조물의 변위는 비탄성 변위비 제안식을 이용하여 예측하였다. 제안된 방법의 유효성을 검증하기 위하여 80개의 지반운동 데이터를 사용하여 비선형 동적해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 제안된 방법은 보강 구조물의 지붕층 변위를 정확히 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
