In this study, we propose an optimal design method by applying the Prefabricated Buckling Restrained Brace (PF-BRB) to structures with asymmetrically rigidity plan. As a result of the PF-BRB optimal design of a structure with an asymmetrically rigidity plan, it can be seen that the reduction effect of dynamic response is greater in the case of arrangement considering the asymmetric distribution of stiffness (Asym) than in the case of arrangement in the form of a symmetric distribution (Sym), especially It was confirmed that at an eccentricity rate of 20%, the total amount of reinforced PF-BRBs was also small. As a result of analyzing the dynamic response characteristics according to the change in eccentricity of the asymmetrically rigidity plan, the distribution of the reinforced PF-BRB showed that the larger the eccentricity, the greater the amount of damper distribution around the eccentric position. Additionally, when comparing the analysis models with an eccentricity rate of 20% and an eccentricity rate of 12%, the response reduction ratio of the 20% eccentricity rate was found to be large.

내진설계기준이 반영되지 않은 기존 구조물의 경우 내진보강에 의하여 구조물의 내진성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 내진보강의 수준을 합리적으로 결정하기 위해서는 구조물의 사용기간 동안에 예상되는 지진피해 관련 손실이 최소화되도록 하여야 하는데, 이를 위해서는 구조물이 위치한 지역에 대한 지진의 강도별 발생빈도, 지진에 의한 구조물의 기능상실 및 직접/간접 피해를 복합적으로 고려하여 구조물의 예상 손실비용을 산정하여야 하며 이는 구조물 손상에 대한 지진위험도 해석을 통해서 그 해석을 수행할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 확률적 지진요구모델을 이용한 위험도 평가를 통하여 구조물의 지진에 대한 피해 손실을 정량적으로 산정하고 이를 바탕으로 초기비용과 예상손실비용을 포함한 총 손실비용을 최소화시킬 수 있도록 내진보강 수준을 최적화하는 절차를 제시하였다. 구조물과 관련된 지진피해 산정에 있어서 지진하중의 강도별 발생확률 및 구조물의 손상확률을 동시에 고려하여 구조물 생애주기에 대한 구조물의 지진손상 확률밀도함수 및 누적분포함수를 수식화하였으며 수식의 유효성을 유지하기 위한 확률변수의 유효범위를 정의하였다. 또한 여기에 사회적, 경제적 손실을 정량화하기 위한 손실함수를 결부시켜 구조물과 관련된 지진 피해 손실의 기댓값을 정량적으로 산정할 수 있도록 하였다. 제시된 해석기법은 기존의 시뮬레이션에 의한 손실산정법과 비교하여 해석의 정확도는 잃지 않으면서 구조해석의 반복횟수를 대폭 줄일 수 있다는 장점이 있으며 빌딩과 교량을 비롯한 구조물의 내진성능 평가 및 개선을 위한 의사결정 시에 효율적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Based on the study of seismic retrofit of buildings using damper of apartment buildings, it was found that using genetic algorithm is efficient for seismic retrofit compare to existing way of retrofit. Therefore using genetic is recommended when seismic retrofit applied.

Social interest in the seismic retrofit of the structure is growing massive earthquake that occurred recently. The brittle fracture of Non-seismically designed Columns lead to full collapse of the building. In the past, cross-sectional expansion method, a steel plate reinforcing method is applied mainly in recent years, fiber-reinforced method utilizing the advantages of the composite material are preferred. However, the reinforcement methods such as this, there is a drawback to induce physical damage to structures, and time consuming work space is large. IIn this study, FRP seismic reinforcement was developed using the Aluminum connector and the composite material (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer). Then, the optimum quantities of FRP seismic reinforcement was determined using a nonlinear finite element analysis program. Finally, the quantity decision process through the design and analysis of FRP reinforcement was suggested.

In this study, the optimal performance based seismic retrofit method for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets in existing reinforced concrete (RC) frames is presented. This optimal method minimizes the amount of FRP material while satisfying the constraints on the maximum inter-story drift, maximum strain of concrete, and shear failure prevention of columns. Both of shear reinforcement for preventing shear failure of columns and flexural reinforcement for improving the flexural capacity of columns are simultaneously considered. This method is applied to 3-story RC frame and the reinforced locations and the numbers of FRP reinforcement plies are obtained.

In this study, thickness of FRP sheet on Connector, which did not cause any physical damage to concrete column, was decided by using nonlinear finite element analysis. Through this analysis, the optimal thickness was determined by a thickness of the Glass Fiber sheet
