The purpose of this study is to experimentally analyze the seismic performance of beam-column specimens with vertical irregular, which were reinforced with RHS (Replaceable steel haunch system). a steel haunch system. To evaluate the seismic performance of the RHS, three specimens were manufactured and subjected to cycle loading tests. Retrofitted specimens have different beam-upper column stiffness ratio as a variable. The stiffness ratio of beam-upper column were considered to be 1.2 and 0.84. As a result of the test, the specimen reinforced with RHS showed improved maximum load and effective stiffness, and energy dissipation capacity compared to the non-retrofitted specimen with same beam-upper column stiffness ratio. The specimen with 0.84 beam-upper column stiffness ratio showed improved performance than the specimen with 12.

The collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings is mainly caused by the failure of columns. To prevent brittle failure of RC column, numerous studies have been conducted on the seismic performance of strengthened RC columns. Concrete jacketing method, which is one of the retrofitting method of RC members, can enhance strength and stiffness of original RC column with enlarged section and provide uniformly distributed lateral load capacity throughout the structure. The experimental studies have been conducted by many researchers to analyze seismic performance of seismic strengthened RC column. However, structures which have plan and vertical irregularities shows torsional behavior, and therefore it causes large deformation on RC column when subjected to seismic load. Thus, test results from concentric cyclic loading can be overestimated comparing to eccentric cyclic test results, In this paper, two kinds of eccentric loading pattern was suggested to analyze structural performance of RC columns, which are strengthened by concrete jacketing method with new details in jacketed section. Based on the results, it is concluded that specimens strengthened with new concrete jacketing method increased 830% of maximum load, 150% of maximum displacement and changed the failure modes of non-strengthened RC columns.

In the case of columns in buildings with soft story, the concentration of stress due to the difference in stiffness can damage the columns. The irregularity of buildings including soft story requires retrofit because combined load of compression, bending, shear, and torsion acts on the structure. Concrete jacketing is advantageous in securing the strength and stiffness of existing members. However, the brittleness of concrete make it difficult to secure ductility to resist the large deformation, and the complicated construction process for integrity between the existing member and extended section reduces the constructability. In this study, two types of Steel Grid Reinforcement (SGR), which are Steel Wire Mesh (SWM) for integrity and Steel Fiber Non-Shrinkage Mortar (SFNM) for crack resistance are proposed. One reinforced concrete (RC) column with non-seismic details and two columns retrofitted with each different types of proposed method were manufactured. Seismic performance was analyzed for cyclic loading test in which a combined load of compression, bending, shear, and torsion was applied. As a result of the experiment, specimens retrofitted with proposed concrete jacketing method showed 862% of maximum load, 188% of maximum displacement and 1,324% of stiffness compared to non-retrofitted specimen.

This study develops finite element models for seismically-deficient reinforced concrete building frame retrofitted using fiber-reinforced polymer jacketing system and validates the finite element models with full-scale dynamic test for as-built and retrofitted conditions. The bond-slip effects measured from a past experimental study were modeled using one-dimensional slide line model, and the bond-slip models were implemented to the finite element models. The finite element model can predict story displacement and inter-story drift ratio with slight simulation variation compared to the measured responses from the full-scale dynamic tests.

To investigate the cyclic characteristics of the retrofitted exterior joints of RC frame with haunch, 70% scaled 6 beam-column exterior joint subassemblies were designed according to design guideline according to 1988 and tested with cyclic loading up to 3.5% story drift ratio. During the experiments axial forces are applied to columns to simulate gravity load. Experimental results shows that the strength of retrofitted specimens was increased steadily until 2.5% story drift ratio and their strengths increased more than 1.7 times of the non-retrofitted in case that main bar was bent away from exterior joint. The joint strength and effective stiffness of the retrofitted specimen was increased and results in more deformation capacity compared to the non-retrofitted.

This research presents effectiveness of fiber-reinforced polymer column jacketing system for a non-ductile reinforced concrete building frame constructed before the 1970s. To investigate the retrofit effects, a series of full-scale dynamic tests for the retrofitted test frame was conducted, and the dynamic responses were compared to those of the non-retrofitted test frame. The effectiveness of the retrofit system was investigated in terms of response reductions, damage mechanisms and drift concentration factors.

In this study, the effect on seismic performance of Binding Column Method(BCM) system was empirically evaluated. Four column models that were confined by different forces and one rare column model as a control were manufactured for cyclic loading test. As a result, in the column retrofitted with BCM, the ultimate displacement and load were increased about 2.5 and 2.0 times. Also, the energy-dissipating capacity of the retrofitted model was improved, compared to a rare column model.

All the specimens were modeled in 1/2 scale-down size.

최근 발생한 대규모 지진으로 구조물의 내진보강에 대한 사회적 관심도가 높아지고 있다. 특히 내진설계가 반영되지 않은 기둥의 경우 지진에 의한 횡하중을 저항하지 못하고, 취성적인 파괴가 유발되어 구조물 전체적 붕괴를 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 빠른 시간내에 보강이 가능하면서 기둥에 손상을 주지 않는 기존의 보강법과 구별되는 응급 보강법이 필요하다. 과거에는 기둥 보강법으로 단면 증설법과 강판보강법 등이 개발되어 현장에 적용되었지만, 최근에는 FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer)의 장점을 활용한 탄소섬유시트공법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 긴급시공이 가능한 체결식 FRP 내진보강재를 사용한 구조물의 내진성능보강효과를 검토하고자 하였다. 검토를 위하여 실제 구조물의 축소모델의 철근콘크리트 시험체를 제작하고 횡방향 변위하중을 가력하였다. FRP 내진보강재를 이용한 내진보강시공후 실내시험을 통하여 내진성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과 개발된 보강재의 철근콘크리트 구조물에 보강 시, 내진성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

국내에서 공동주택이 대량으로 공급되었던 1980～1990년대에는 콘크리트의 설계기준강도가 약 18MPa로 낮았으며 또한 대부분의 기둥은 수직하중만을 고려하여 설계되었다. 본 연구에서는 수명이 오래된 콘크리트 기둥의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 시공이 간편하고 내식성이 우수하며 인장성능이 매우 뛰어난 탄소섬유시트로 보강된 RC 기둥의 압축강도 성능평가 실험을 수행하였다. 기둥을 구속하는 탄소섬유시트의 wrapping 각도는 수직하중과 수평하중에 저항할 수 있도록 기둥의 재축방향에 대하여 ±60°각도로 보강하였다. 실험을 수행한 후 압축강도 및 변형률의 증가양상과 시험체의 파괴양상을 분석하였으며 실험결과의 회귀분석을 수행하여 향상된 압축강도를 예측할 수 있는 회귀식을 작성하였다.
