Phayathonzu temple in Myanmar was made of masonry bricks, and so it was vulnerable to lateral load such as earthquake. Especially, it has many difficulties in structural modeling and dynamic analysis because the discontinuous characteristics of masonry structure should be considered. So, it is necessary to provide the seismic performance evaluation technology through the inelastic dynamic modeling and analysis under earthquake loads for the safety security of masonry brick temple. Therefore, this study analyzes the seismic behavior characteristics and evaluates the seismic performance for the 479 structure with many cracks and deformations. Through the evaluation results, we found out the structural weak parts on earthquake loads.

수소는 연소 과정에서 산소와 반응하여 물과 열만을 생성하며 공해 물질이 배출하지 않아 깨끗한 에너지원으로 간주된다. 이러한 특징으로 산업 활동으로 비롯된 대기 오염, 이상 기후 문제 등을 해결 하기 위한 대책안으로써 수소를 활용한 신재생에너지가 세계적으로 주목받고 있다. 이에 따라 선행 연 구에서는 수직형 탱크 구조의 취약부로 평가되는 지지부 단면 변화에 따른 영향성을 평가하기 위해 수소 생산 인프라 현장 조사를 수행한 바 있으며, 현장 조사 중에 현장 설치된 수소 탱크 강재 지지부 의 부식 문제를 확인하였다. 지지부의 부식은 구조물의 전체 강성을 감소시키며, 재난(지진)에 취약해 져 수소 저장 용기가 손상으로 인한 2차 피해로 이어질 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 선행 연구의 후속 연구로써 강재 지지부의 부식 문제를 개선하고자 고강도-저중량 재료인 CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer)를 사용한 지지부를 개발하여 수치해석을 통해 CFRP 지지부의 내진 성능평가를 목적으로 한다. 해석에 사용된 수소 탱크는 크게 몸체, 지지부, 기초부, 앵커 볼트로 구성되어 있으며, 지지부는 높이 965mm, 75×75×9.5mm의 L형강 4개로 확인되었다. 지진 하중에 대한 동적 성능을 평가하기 위해 시간이력해석법이 사용되었으며, 적용 동적하중의 경우, ASCE의 ICC-ES에서 제시한 평가 기준에 따라 AC 156 Amplitude 100%의 인공 지진을 적용하였다. 해석 결과, CFRP 지지부와 강재 지지부 상단의 최대 변위가 각각 35.48, 32.54mm로 매우 유사한 것으로 나타났으며, Hashin Damage Criteria를 사용하여 CFRP 지지부의 최대 손상 지수를 측정한 결과 수지의 인장측에서 0.065로 확인되었다. 이는 기준 손상 지수 1 대비 매우 낮은 수준이며, 해석 결과를 종합했을 때 CFRP 지지부는 충분한 안전성을 보이는 것으로 판단된다.

In SRC column, the closed hoops are applied with the same detail of both 135° standard hooks to expect the same performance as hoops of RC columns. This standard detail is actually complicated to construct, thus, two separating rebars are connected in the form of a square shape and welded over the overlapping section. But this is also complicated in construction practice. Therefore, this study describes experimental results regarding cyclic behaviors shown with alternative hoops cramped by the steel clip type-binding device instead of welding and standard specimen. As a result of the experiment, the specimens with alternative hoops of the SRC column showed comparable performance to the specimens with closed hoops. Therefore, it can be evaluated that the alternative hoops applied with the rebar confinement clips in the SRC column can replace the closed hoop.

The columns of older reinforced concrete (RC) buildings generally have limited reinforcement details. Thus, they could be vulnerable to earthquake ground motions, leading to partial or complete building collapse. In this study, high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (HPFRCC) was applied to RC columns to improve their seismic behavior. Experimental tests were conducted with two full-sized specimens with limited reinforcement details, including short lap splices, while unidirectional loadings were applied to the specimens. The seismic behavior of RC columns was substantially improved by using HPFRCC.

철근콘크리트 기둥에서 후프철근의 내진갈고리 시공성을 개선하기 위하여 기존 연구에서 “띠철근 갈고리 뽑힘 방지 장치”인 RCC장치(Rebar Confinement Clip)를 제안하여 인발실험을 통한 부착 및 정착성능 실험을 실시하였다. 그러나, 기존 연구의 실험에서는 콘크리트 구조기준에서 제시하는 피복두께를 준수하지 않았다. 그러므로, 보다 신뢰성 있는 실험 결과를 도출하 기 위하여 기준에서 제시하는 피복두께를 준수한 실험체로 실험을 실시할 필요가 있다. 이를 위하여 총 6개 실험체를 제작하여 실험을 실시하였으며 실험결과, 부착 및 정착의 합성강도는 RCC장치로 체결된 띠철근의 갈고리가 내진갈고리가 발휘하는 강도 보다 높게 나타났다. 또한, 내진갈고리의 실험체 균열 진전 및 파괴 양상과 RCC장치로 체결된 띠철근의 실험체는 유사하게 나타났다. 그러므로, 콘크리트 피복두께를 준수한 실험체에서 RCC장치로 띠철근에 체결할 경우 내진갈고리가 발휘하는 동등한 성능을 보유하고 있는 것으로 평가된다.

최근 국내에서 발생한 경주지진 및 포항지진이 도심지 및 원자력발전소 주변에서 발생함에 따라 인근 주요 구조시스 템에 피해를 발생시킨 바 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 원전 배관계통의 지진 거동 특성을 실험 및 해석적으로 규명하고, 이를 바탕으로 내진성능을 평가하는 연구를 수행하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여, 원전 배관계통을 대상으로 한 진동대 시험 결과를 바탕으로 배관 수치해석 모델을 수립하고 이를 시험 결과를 통하여 검증한다. 또한, 이러한 검증된 수치해석모델을 기반으로 배관계통의 내진성능을 평가한다. 수치해석 모델 검증 결과, 수립된 수치모델의 고유진동수, 감쇠비 및 변위 응답이 진동 대시험 결과와 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 검증된 수치모델을 바탕으로 평가된 내진성능 값은 기존 원전 배관의 내진성능 값의 범위와 비교적 유사한 값으로 평가되었다. 이는 설계기준지진을 크게 상회하는 값이지만, 원전 주요 기기 임을 감안할 때 추가적인 내진성능 상향이 확보되면 원전 지진 안전성 향상에 많은 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후 원전 배관계통 내진성능평가를 위한 정량적인 자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 내진성능향상을 목표로 CNT-복합소재로 보강된 콘크리트 구조물의 휨 인장 거동을 다루었다. 다양한 CNT 함유량에 따른 복합소재의 재료적 물성은 수정된 Halpin-Tasi 모델을 적용하여 멀티스케일해석 이론으로부터 도출하였다. 휨인장 시험은 복합소재의 종류, CNT 함유비율, 도포제의 유무, 그리고 보강 방법에 따라서 수행하였다. 변수 실험 결과는 CNT-복합재로 보강된 콘크리트 구조의 향상된 휨인장 거동에 대하여 CNT 함유량과 적절한 도포제의 적용 (부착)의 중요성을 보여주었다.

In this study, the effectiveness of a multi-action hybrid damper (MHD) composed of lead rubber bearing (LRB) and friction pad was verified in terms of seismic performance improvement of a frame structure. The LRB and the friction elements are connected in series, so the LRB governs the intial small deformation and the friction determines large deformation behavior. Cyclic loading tests were conducted by using a half scale steel frame structure with the MHD, and the results indicated that the structure became to have the stable trilinear hysteresis with large initial stiffness and first yielding due to the LRB, and the second yielding due to the friction. The MHD could significantly increase the energy dissipation capacity of the structure and the hysteresis curves obtained by tests were almost identical to the analytically estimated ones.

In the moment frame subjected to earthquake loads, beam-column joint is structurally important for ductile behavior of a system. ACI Committee 352 proposed guidelines for designing beam-column joint details. The guidelines, however, need to be updated because of the lack of data regarding several factors that may improve the performance of joints. The purpose of this study is to investigate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete exterior joints with high-strength materials and unbonded tendons. Three specimens with different joint shear demand-to-strength ratios were constructed and tested, where headed bars were used to anchor the beam bars into the joint. All specimens showed satisfactory seismic behavior including moment strength of 1.3 times the nominal moment, ductile performance (ductility factor = at least 2.4), and sufficiently large dissipated energy.

Since the execution of structural design by professional structural engineers is not mandatory for small-size buildings in Korea, structural design is conducted by architects or contractors resulting in concern about the seismic safety of the buildings. Therefore, the Korean Structural Engineers Association proposed dedicated structural design criteria in 2012. The criteria were developed based on a deterministic approach in which the structural members are designed only with information of story and span length of the buildings and without structural analyses. However, due to the short time devoted to their development, these criteria miss satisfactory basis and do not deal with structural walls popularly used in Korea. Accordingly, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport launched a research on the 'development of structural performance enhancement technologies for small-size buildings against earthquakes and climate changes'.. As part of this research, this paper intends to establish direction for the preparation of deterministic structural design guidelines for seismic safety of domestic small-size reinforced concrete buildings. To that goal, a typical plan of these buildings is selected considering frames only and frames plus walls, and then design is conducted by changing the number of stories and span length. Next, the seismic performance is analyzed by nonlinear static pushover analysis. The results show that the structural design guidelines should be developed by classifying frames only and frames plus walls. The size and reinforcement of structural elements should be provided in the middle level of the current Korean Building Code and criteria for small buildings by considering story and span length for buildings with frames only, and determined by considering the shape and location of walls and the story and span length as well for buildings with frames plus walls. It is recommended that the design of walls should be conducted by reducing the amount of walls along with symmetrically located walls.

This paper investigates experimentally the confinement effect on concrete. For this purpose, outside lateral reinforcement members made of stainless steel and GFRP were employed. Then, uniaxial compressive tests on concrete cylinders incorporating the members were conducted. A total of 30 cylinder specimens, specifically, 6 unconfined specimens, 12 specimens confined by stainless steel and 12 specimens confined by GFRP, were fabricated. The failure patterns of both unconfined and confined specimens were assessed and discussed based on experimental results. The results proved that the maximum stress and corresponding strains of the cylinders confined using the proposed hoops are increased in comparison with those of the unconfined. This supports that the current work can be used for retrofitting concrete members and structures and thus may lead to increased stability of such structures.

The hysteretic behavior of diagonal reinforced coupling beams is excellent during earthquakes. However, construction of the diagonal reinforced coupling beams is difficult due to complex reinforcement details required by current code procedures (ACI 318-11). Due to the detail requirement, reinforcement congestion and interference among transverse reinforcement always occur during construction field. When the aspect ratio of the beam is large, the interference of reinforcement becomes more serious. The objective of this paper is to simplify the reinforcement details of slender coupling beams by reducing transverse reinforcement around the beam perimeter. For this purpose, high- performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites are used for making coupling beams. Experiments were conducted using three specimens having aspect ratio 3.5. Test results showed that HPFRCC coupling beams with half the transverse reinforcement required by ACI 318-11 provided identical seismic capacities to the corresponding coupling beams having requirement satisfying the requirement specified in ACI 318-11.

In this paper, the a static experiment of on two reinforced concrete (RC) frame sub‐assemblages was conducted to evaluate the seismic behaviors of existing RC frames that were not designed to support a seismic load. The specimens were a one span and actual‐sized. One of them had two columns with the same stiffness, but the other had two columns with different stiffness values. As Regarding the test results, lots of many cracks occurred on the surfaces of the columns and beam‐column joints for the two specimens, but the cover concrete splitting hardly occurred was minimal until the test ends. In the case of the specimen with the same stiffness offor the two columns, the flexural collapse of the left‐side column occurred. However, in the case of the specimen with different stiffness values for of the two columns, the beam‐column joint finally collapsed, even though the shear strength of the joint was designed to be strong enough to support the lateral collapse load. The nonlinear Nonlinear static analysis of the two specimens was also conducted using the uniaxial spring model, and the analytical results successfully simulated the nonlinear behaviour of the specimens in accordance with the test results.

In this paper, analytical models for reinforced concrete shear wall systems designed based on Korean Building Code (KBC2009) are proposed, which have special and semi-special seismic details and are compared with experimental results for a verification of analytical models. In addition, semi-special seismic details aimed to improve constructability and enhance economic efficiency were proposed and evaluated. The analytical models were performed based on nonlinear static and dynamic analysis. Through the nonlinear analyses, two seismic details showed the similar seismic behavior from the cyclic test and the analytical models for the two different seismic details represented the behavior in terms of the initial stiffness, maximum strength and strength degradation. And newly proposed seismic details(semi-special) provided with similar hysterestic behavior as well as the maximum drift.

The recently constructed buildings are ensuring seismic safety with enhanced design criteria. But, the buildings unapplied enhanced design criteria are very weak. In this study, steel grid shear wall is proposed as a solution of seismic retrofit to ensure safety of the existing buildings for the earthquake. And the structural performance experiments were carried out under axial force and cyclic lateral loads. The two specimens were made of a reference RC frame and steel grid shear wall in-filled RC frame. The test setup configured with two dynamic actuators, for the axial force with a 500kN capacity actuator and for the cyclic lateral load applied with the 2,000kN actuator. Compared with control specimen, the strength, stiffness, ductility, energy dissipation capacity of the seismic retrofit structures is evaluated.

국내외 교량의 내진성능 평가관련 연구들을 조사, 분석한 결과 국내에서 휨 거동 교각의 내진성능에 대한 연구는 상당히 이루어졌으나, 국내에 상당수 분포하는 것으로 분석된 휨-전단 교각에 대해서는 연구실적이 부족한 것으로 파악되었다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 휨-전단 복합거동이 예측되는 형상비 2.67과 전단거동이 예측되는 형상비 2.25의 실물크기 실험체 및 형상비 2.67의 축소모형 실험체를 제작하여 준정적 내진성능 실험을 실시하였으 며, 주철근의 겹침이음과, 형상비 변화에 따른 파괴거동을 조사 및 분석하였다. 실험결과 휨-전단거동이 예상되는 형상비 부근의 교각은 형상비와 철근상세 변화에 따라 파괴거동 특성이 휨-전단 파괴에서 전단 파괴 또는휨 파괴, 그리고 주철근 부착파괴로 변하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 실험결과들로부터 비내진 원형 철근콘크리트 교각에 대한항복변위 및 극한변위 산정식을 제안하여 실험을 실시하지 않고도 실제 비내진 교각의 내진성능을 파악할 수 있도록 하였으며, 이는 추후비내진으로 분류되는 실제 교량의 내진성능 조사 및 보수보강에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
