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.

Recently, the occurrence frequency of earthquake has increased in Korea, and the interests for seismic reinforcement of existing school buildings have been raised. To this end, the seismic performance evaluations for school buildings that did not accomplish the seismic design are required. In particular, this study checks the eigenvalue analysis, pushover curves, maximum base shears, performance points and story drift ratios, and then analyzes the seismic performance characteristics according to bracing configuration of steel frame system reinforcement. Also, this study presents the practical field application methods through the comparison of analysis results for the seismic performance characteristics.

This study is conducted to verify the seismic reinforcement effects of internally inserted buckling-restrained braces supported laterally by buckling-restrained rings for the seismic reinforcement of existing reinforced concrete buildings with non-seismic details. First, to evaluate the performance of KDS, the hysteretic characteristics of buckling-restrained braces are verified, and it is discovered that they satisfy the conformance criteria of the displacement-dependent damping device. Three full-scale, two-story reinforced concrete framework specimens are prepared to verify the seismic reinforcement effects, and the proposed buckling-restrained braces are bolstered with single diagonal and V-shaped braces to be compared with non-reinforced specimens. By performing a comparison with non-reinforced specimens that present intensive shear cracks at the bottom of first-floor columns, it is revealed that the maximum load and energy dissipation of specimens reinforced with the proposed buckling restrained braces, in which the structural damage extends evenly throughout the system, are approximately 4 and 6.2 times higher, respectively, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed seismic reinforcement method.

본 연구에서는 기존 비내진설계 콘크리트 기둥의 내진성능 개선을 위해 기둥 면적의 80% 영역을 12K 능직 카본 섬 유(CFRP sheet)와 카본용 에폭시 수지를 사용하여 보강한 후 보강량에 따른 내진성능을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험을 위해 실 험실 단위에서의 준실대형 기둥을 제작하였으며, 유압 풀링잭을 이용하여 약 10%만큼의 일정한 축력을 가력한 다음 변위제어를 통해 최대 10%의 변위비만큼 각 변위 사이클당 2회씩 반복 재하하여 가력을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 2겹의 12K CFRP sheet 보 강의 경우 누적에너지소산이 6.6배 증가하였으며, 4겹의 경우 9.6배 증가하였다.

지진 하중에 의해 피해를 받는 교각의 보강을 위한 방법론과 다양성에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되었지만, 단자유도에 대한 비선형 정적 분석에 대한 연구가 주로 수행되었으며, 교각을 구성하는 재료적 특성만이 변수로 간주되었다. 그러나, 교 각의 기하학적 요소와 보강 수단의 관계성에 관한 연구는 수행되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 CFRP 재킷을 사용하여 캘리포 니아에 존재하는 비 내진 상세 콘크리트 교량 교각을 보강하고 형상 변화에 따라 (교각 직경, 전단 경간 비, 보강 재킷의 길이) 교량 교각의 지진 취약성 곡선 도출하고 내진 성능을 평가하였다. 상기의 목표를 달성하기 위해 Opensees 프로그램를 사용하여 문헌에서 인용할 수 있는 실험체를 모델링하고 반복 하중을 가하여 결과 비교를 통해 해석방법의 적절성을 결정하였다.

The paper presents an experimental study on shear behavior of RC beams retrofitted with Uni-Directional Narrow Fabric to improve seismic performance. Experimental parameters include the type of fiber, spacing of the fiber, and the ratio of transverse reinforcement. Also, Static loading test was performed on twelve shear-critical specimens. An experimental result were analyzed to investigate the contribution of shear strength and failure modes of the specimens retrofitted or strengthened with Uni-Directional Narrow Fabric compared to the non-retrofitted the specimen. In order to derive the shear strength model according to the spacing of the fiber, the experimental results were compared with the conventional shear strength model of RC elements retrofitted with FRP.

This study investigates the seismic performance of solid reinforced concrete columns with triangular reinforcement details using nonlinear seismic analysis. The developed reinforcement details are economically feasible and rational, and facilitate shorter construction periods. By using a sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program, the accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process can be enhanced. Solution of the equations of motion is obtained by numerical integration using Hilber-Hughes-Taylor (HHT) algorithm. The proposed numerical method gives a realistic prediction of seismic performance throughout the input ground motions for several column specimens. As a result, developed triangular reinforcement details were designed to be superior to the existing reinforcement details in terms of required performance.

This paper has proposed a reinforcing method for damaged RC columns with SRF sheets and Aramid rods. In order to verify the effectiveness and performance, two original columns and two reinforced columns with SRF sheets and Aramid rods were developed and tested under lateral cyclic displacement and a constant axial load. The test showed that the improvement of energy dissipation capacity was increased in terms of strength and ductility. In addition, an analytical modeling of the standard specimens was proposed using Response-2000 and ZeusNL program. The results of analytical and experimental studies for two standard columns were compared in terms of loading-displacement curve and energy dissipation capacity based on the nonlinear static analysis.

In this study, we classified the structures into minor-damage column (URM), moderate-damage column (URO), and severe-damage column (URS), depending on the RC column of damage degree, and reinforced columns with the UHMWPE fiber in order to perform modeling of the structures. Then, we executed a comparative analysis with the results obtained from previous studies of NRF (non-reinforced column) and URF (column with UHMWPE fiber reinforcement). The maximum strength was increased with 14.91% of URF, 14.05% of URM, 14% of URO, and 6.5% of URS on the basis of NRF and the columns with minor and moderate damages exhibited the similar stiffness as that of the URF.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the seismic performance of hollow RC bridge columns with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction. The proposed reinforcement details provide economy, are rational and shorthen the construction periods. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process can be enhanced by using a sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program. Solution of the equations of motion is obtained by numerical integration using Hilber-Hughes-Taylor (HHT) algorithm. The adopted numerical method gives a realistic prediction of seismic performance throughout the input ground motions for several test specimens investigated. As a result, the proposed reinforcement details for material quantity reduction develop equal performance to that required for existing reinforcement details.

This paper experimentally investigates the seismic performance of RC columns retrofitted by Super Reinforcement with Flexibility (SRF). A total of three specimens with a scale factor of 1/2 were constructed and tested in order to assess the structural behavior of the retrofitted RC columns. One specimen was a non-seismically designed column without any retrofitting method while others were retrofitted with either one or two layers of SRF by using urethane adhesive. The static cyclic testing with a constant axial load was conducted to assess the seismic performance of the retrofitted RC columns. It is concluded that the SRF retrofitting method increases the strength and ductility of the RC columns and can also impact on the failure mode of the columns.
