본 논문에서는 효과적인 제진설계를 구현하기 위한 설계기술 개발의 일환으로 최근 제안된 Exo-type 감쇠시스템을 활용하여 15층과 20층의 연구 대상 건물을 대상으로 감쇠시스템의 최적 강성비와 적용된 감쇠장치의 최적 항복비에 따른 철근콘크리트 라멘조 건물의 제진 효과를 검토해 보았다. 해석결과, Exo-type 감쇠시스템을 3개층 적용 시에는 대상 건물 15층과 20층 모두 밑면전단력과 최상층 최대응답변위 감소라는 관점에서 유효한 제진효과를 얻기 위해서는 Exo-type 감쇠시스템과 대상 건물의 강성비는 7.0 이상 확보를 하여야 하며, 감쇠시스템에 적용된 감쇠장치의 항복비는 대상 건물의 층전단력의 약 8.0% 이상 확보할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, Exo-type 감쇠시스템을 5개층 적용 시에는 대상 건물 15층과 20층 모두 Exo-type 감쇠시스템과 대상 건물의 강성비는 2.5 이상 확보 하여야 하며, 감쇠시스템에 적용된 감쇠장치의 대상 건물의 층전단력의 약 3.5%이상 확보할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, the seismic performance of framed building with porous hysteretic damping system is examined by comparing the beam-column stiffness ratio. Analytical results show that in case of maximum displacement, acceleration, and shear force, the decrease in ρ=2.00 is larger than the decrease in ρ=0.10. But results appeared differently according to a number of stories that damper installed.

Structural damping includes material damping, friction effects at bearing and expansion joints, friction at bolted joints and mechanical damping by damper. There is not analytical basis for estimating the damping ratios. Structural damping ratios can be estimated by measuring forced vibration amplitude of a certain mode but it is almost impossible to vibrate the actual bridges to a certain mode by force. Therefore, RD technique utilizing a lot of ambient vibration data can be a practical method to estimate damping ratio. In this study, the damping ratio is estimated by analyzing the ambient vibration data of three steel cable stayed bridges.

The damping ratios of the modes as well as the natural frequencis and the mode shapes are required to characterize the modal behavior of structure. The mode shapes and the natural frequencies are determined from analytical methods or measurements accurately. But there is little analytical basis for estimating the damping ratios although they are the most important to determine the amplitude of the vibration. Especially for the cable-stayed bridges the aerodynamic damping ratios determine the amplitude of the response to wind loads. This paper is an attempt to estimate the aerodynamic damping ratios based on measured data and quasi-static theory.

Vortex shedding occurred at relatively low mean wind velocities between 13m/s and 16m/s in the 2nd Jindo grand bridge. To control the vortex shedding Multiple Tuned Mass Damper(MTMD) was installed in the mid span. The control effects of MTMD was verified by assessing the damping ratio before and after installing MTMD. This paper present the evaluation of damping ratio of a cable- stayed bridge based on measuring data through unified remote monitoring system.

지진으로부터 구조물의 안전을 확보하기 위하여 많은 공학자들의 연구가 계속되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 납의 이력특성을 이용하여 지진하중을 감소시키는 LRB(lead rubber bearing)의 감쇠능력에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 납 플러그의 면적비를 주요변수로 설계한 2종류 12개의 시험체를 제작하여 변위제어시험을 시행하였다. 감쇠비 결정을 위한 이력감쇠곡선을 얻기 위하여 2개의 시험체가 한 쌍을 이루도록 배치하고 3회 반복이력시험을 수행하였다. 실험결과로부터 본 연구에서의 납 플러그 면적비가 큰 LRB는 지진시 구조물의 지진하중을 감소시키는데 충분한 감쇠비를 보유하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
