본 논문에서는 휨 항복 메커니즘을 기반으로 한 강재이력 댐퍼를 제안하기 위한 해석 및 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 댐퍼는 휨모멘 트에 의한 항복거동을 하도록 설계된 일련의 댐핑 플레이트로 구성된다. 실험 결과와 유한요소해석 결과의 비교를 통해서 본 연구에 서 채택된 해석적 접근방식이 댐핑 플레이트의 형태 및 상세에 대한 민감도 연구를 수행하기에 적절함을 확인하였다. 최초에 제안된 댐퍼는 휨 항복 메커니즘을 기반으로 작동하는 것으로 고안되었으나, 댐핑 플레이트의 인장 거동에 대한 기여도가 상당할 수 있음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 댐핑 플레이트의 두께가 증가함에 따라 휨 항복에 의한 에너지 흡수량이 증가한다. 댐핑 플레이트의 두께가 감소함 에 따라 인장에 의한 댐퍼의 비선형 거동 기여도가 증가하고 좌굴 발생으로 인하여 이력곡선의 형상이 댐퍼로서 불리해진다.

The energy dissipation of inverted V-type eccentric steel braced frames can be achieved through the yielding of a slit link, through yielding of a number of strips between slits when the frame is subjected to inelastic cyclic deformation. On the other hand, the development of seismic resistance system without residual deformation is obtained by applying the superelasdtic shape memory alloy (SMA) material into the brace and link elements. This paper presents results from a systematic three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis on the structural behavior of the eccentric bracing systems subjected to cyclic loadings. A wide scope of structural behaviors explains the horizontal stiffness, hysteretic behaviors, and failure modes of the recentering eccentric bracing system. The accurate results presented here serve as benchmark data for comparison with results obtained using modern experimental testing and alternative theoretical approaches.

The performance enhancement of various damping systems from natural hazards has become an highly important issue in engineering field. In this paper, ENTA hysteretic dampers were tested under cyclic loadings to evaluate their performance in terms of ductility and energy dissipation. The test results showed that the hysteretic dampers are effective damping systems to enhance the buildings performance for remodeling and retrofit of buildings. Also, the hysteretic dampers were modeled in FEM(Finite Element Method) structural analysis program. As comparing the computer modeling and the experiment, this study model reflects the nonlinear behavior of steel and derives the hysteresis loop.

This study investigates the seismic performance of a hybrid seismic energy dissipation device composed of a viscoelastic damper and a steel slit damper connected in parallel. A moment-framed structure is designed without seismic load and is retrofitted with the hybrid dampers. The model structure is transformed into an equivalent simplified system to find out optimum story-wise damper distribution pattern using genetic algorithm. The effectiveness of the hybrid damper is investigated by fragility analysis of the structure with and without the dampers. The analysis results show that after seismic retrofit the probability of reaching damage states, especially the complete damage state, of the structure turn out to be significantly reduced.

In this study, shaking table test was carried out to evaluate the seismic behavior and performance of low-rise reinforced concrete (RC) piloti structures with and without retrofit. The specimens were designed considering the characteristics of existing building with pilotis such as natural period, distribution factor of strength and stiffness between columns and core wall on the first soft story. The test for the non-retrofit specimen showed that damage was concentrated on the stiffer member on the same floor as the core wall failed by shear fracture whereas columns experienced slight flexural cracks. Considering the failure mode of the non-retrofit specimen, the retrofit method using steel rod damper was presented for improving the seismic performance of piloti structures. The results of the test for retrofit specimen revealed that the retrofit method was effective for controlling the damage as the main RC structural members were not destroyed and most of input energy was dissipated by hysteretic behavior of the damper.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the seismic retrofit performance for a reinforced concrete structure with steel damper. The nonlinear static analysis of the RC frame specimens with and without retrofit using the steel damper was conducted and the reliability of the analysis was verified by comparing the analysis and test results. Using this analysis model and method, additional nonlinear analysis was conducted considering varying stiffness and strength ratios between RC frame and steel damper and the failure mode of RC frame. As the result of the study, the total absorbed energy increased and the damage of RC frame was reduced as stiffness and strength ratios increased. The seismic retrofit performance, evaluated by means of the yield strength, increasing ratio of the absorbed energy and damage of the frame, increased linear proportionally with the increase of the strength ratio. In addition, the seismic retrofit performance was stable for stiffness ratios larger than 4~5. The energy absorption capacity of the frame governed by shear failure was better than that of the frame governed by flexure failure.

The paper introduces Multi-Platform Analysis (MPA) for the seismic performance of a structure controlled by Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers and presents analytical assessment of the effect of MR damper when taking into account nonlinear behavior of the structure. This paper introduces the MR Damper Plugin that can facilitate communication between MATLAB/Simulink and a finite element analysis tool in order to account for more complex inelastic behavior of the structure with MR dampers. The MPA method using the developed MR Damper Plugin is validated with experimental results from the real-time hybrid simulation. By utilizing the proposed MPA method, the three-story RC structure controlled by MR dampers is more realistically modeled and its performance under seismic loads is investigated. It is concluded that MR damper designed for a linear structure is not effective in a nonlinear structure and can overestimate the effect of MR damper. This work is expected to overcome difficulties in the analytical assessment of structural control strategies for complex and nonlinear structures by obtaining more reliable results.

Friction dampers are categorized as displacement-dependent energy dissipation devices, because their damper force is independent from frequency and velocity. They have found large practical application in seismic retrofitting of existing structures due to their low cost and simple installation. A typical friction damper consists of series of steel plates tighten together with high durability steel bolts in order to achieve more reliable friction through the interfaces. This study developed a multi-friction damper by laminating friction materials. In order to verify the performance of the multi-friction dampers, experimental tests were performed.

As a result, the seismic performance improvement of the storage racks using the hydraulic damper was confirmed.

In this paper, a tuned mass damper is applied to improve the seismic performance of the lighting tower. The light tower has a high slenderness ratio, low lateral stiffness and top mass is large structure so this has weak for vibration characteristics. The optimized damping coefficient and stiffness were applied to the four lighting tower models analyzed. As a result, the light tower with TMD showed a tendency to reduce the displacement response significantly against the earthquake.
