Existing reinforced concrete buildings with seismically deficient details have premature failure under earthquake loads. The fiber-reinforced polymer column jacket enhances the lateral resisting capacities with additional confining pressures. This paper aims to quantify the retrofit effect varying the confinement and stiffness-related parameters under three earthquake scenarios and establish the retrofit strategy. The retrofit effects were estimated by comparing energy demands between non-retrofitted and retrofitted conditions. The retrofit design parameters are determined considering seismic hazard levels to maximize the retrofit effects. The critical parameters of the retrofit system were determined by the confinement-related parameters at moderate and high seismic levels and the stiffness-related parameters at low seismic levels.

Based on the random-vibration-theory methodology, dynamic responses of nuclear facilities subjected to obliquely incidental and incoherent earthquake ground motions are calculated. The spectral power density functions of the 6-degree-of-freedom motions of a rigid foundation due to the incoherent ground motions are obtained with the local wave scattering and wave passage effects taken into consideration. The spectral power density function for the pseudo-acceleration of equipment installed on a structural floor is derived. The spectral acceleration of the equipment or the in-structure response spectrum is then estimated using the peak factors of random vibration. The approach is applied to nuclear power plant structures installed on half-spaces, and the reduction of high-frequency earthquake responses due to obliquely incident incoherent earthquake ground motions is examined. The influences of local wave scattering and wave passage effects are investigated for three half-spaces with different shear-wave velocities. When the shear-wave velocity is sufficiently large like hard rock, the local wave scattering significantly affects the reduction of the earthquake responses. In the cases of rock or soft rock, the earthquake responses of structures are further affected by the incident angles of seismic waves or the wave passage effects.

최근 비구조요소의 피해사례가 증가하면서 비구조요소 내진설계에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 연구는 평면 적 요소보다는 수직적 요소나 시스템적 요소를 변수로 층가속도를 평가하고 있다. 때문에 본 논문에서는 횡력저항에 많은 부분을 차 지하는 코어를 평면적 변수로 사용하여 비구조요소 내진설계를 위한 층가속도에 대해 평가하였다. 정사각형의 2축대칭의 평면에서 코어의 형태(위치 및 비중)변화에 따라 서로 다른 5개의 평면과 각 평면마다 5층, 10층, 15층, 20층의 층수를 가진 총 20개의 모델로 선 형시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 코어 위치에 따라 편심을 받는 평면에서는 층가속도가 최대 1.7배의 비틀림 증폭이 발생하 였고 구조물의 중층부에서 비틀림의 영향이 가장 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 편심이 없이 코어의 비중만 변화한 평면에서는 주기 0.4694초를 기준으로 이하일 때는 주기가 증가할수록 층가속도가 저층부에서는 감소하고 고층부에는 증가하며, 반대로 주기 0.4694 초 이상일 때는 주기가 증가할수록 층가속도가 저층부에서는 증가하고 고층부에는 감소한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 구조물 의 층수는 최대층가속도에 영향을 주지 못하는 것을 확인하였다. 핵심용어 :

Existing old reinforced concrete buildings could be vulnerable to earthquakes because they were constructed without satisfying seismic design and detail requirements. In current seismic design standards, the target collapse probability for a given Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) ground-shaking hazard is defined as 10% for ordinary buildings. This study aims to estimate the collapse probabilities of a three-story, old, reinforced concrete building designed by only considering gravity loads. Four different seismic design categories (SDC), A, B, C, and D, are considered. This study reveals that the RC building located in the SDC A region satisfies the target collapse probability. However, buildings located in SDC B, C, and D regions do not meet the target collapse probability. Since the degree of exceedance of the target probability increases with an increase in the SDC level, it is imminent to retrofit non-ductile RC buildings similar to the model building. It can be confirmed that repair and reinforcement of old reinforced concrete buildings are required.

The seismic deformation method is conventionally used as a seismic design for a multi-utility tunnel in Korea. In the seismic deformation method, the soil ground’s natural period is one of the most critical factors for calculating the ground displacement using cosine functions. Correction factors for the natural period and shear wave velocity have been used to consider the non-linearity of dynamic soil properties. However, the correction factors have been issued because the correction factors have not been sufficiently studied to consider Korea’s regional conditions. This paper aims to evaluate the natural periods for the seismic deformation method considering Korea’s ground conditions. Ground response analysis was performed using seven real earthquake records on twelve sites with different soil conditions where actual multi-utility tunnels are installed. As a result, natural periods of the sites were analyzed and new correction factors were proposed according to seismic performance and Korea’s regional conditions.

Seismic fragility was assessed for non-seismic reinforced concrete shear walls in Korean high-rise apartment buildings in order to implement an earthquake damage prediction system. Seismic hazard was defined with an earthquake scenario, in which ground motion intensity was varied with respect to prescribed seismic center distances given an earthquake magnitude. Ground motion response spectra were computed using Korean ground motion attenuation equations to match accelerograms. Seismic fragility functions were developed using nonlinear static and dynamic analysis for comparison. Differences in seismic fragility between damage state criteria including inter-story drifts and the performance of individual structural members were investigated. The analyzed building had an exceptionally long period for the fundamental mode in the longitudinal direction and corresponding contribution of higher modes because of a prominently insufficient wall quantity in such direction. The results showed that nonlinear static analyses based on a single mode tend to underestimate structural damage. Moreover, detailed assessments of structural members are recommended for seismic fragility assessment of a relatively low performance level such as collapse prevention. On the other hand, inter-story drift is a more appropriate criterion for a relatively high performance level such as immediate occupancy.

In the event of an earthquake, non-structural components require seismic performance to ensure evacuation routes and to protect lives from falling non-structural components. Accordingly, the seismic design code proposes horizontal force for the design and evaluation of non-structural components. Ground motion observed on each floor is affected by a building's eigen vibration mode. Therefore, the earthquake damage of non-structural components is determined by the characteristics of the non-structural component system and the vibration characteristics of the building. Floor response spectra in the seismic design code are estimated through time history analysis using seismic waves. However, it is difficult to use floor response spectra as a design criterion because of user-specific uncertainties of time history analysis. In addition, considering the response characteristics of high-rise buildings to long-period ground motions, the safety factor of the proposed horizontal force may be low. Therefore, this study carried out the horizontal force review proposed in the seismic design code through dynamic analysis and evaluated the floor response of seismic waves considering buildings and predominant periods of seismic waves.

This paper is to investigate the retrofitting effect for a non-seismic reinforced concrete frame strengthened by perimeter steel moment frames with indirect integrity, which ameliorates the problems of the direct integrity method. To achieve this, first, full-scale tests were conducted to address the structural behavior of a two-story non-seismic reinforced concrete frame and a strengthened frame. The non-seismic frame showed a maximum strength of 185 kN because the flexural-shear failure at the bottom end of columns on the first floor was governed, and shear cracks were concentrated at the beam-column joints on the second floor. The strengthened frame possessed a maximum strength of 338 kN, which is more than 1.8 times that of the non-seismic specimen. A considerable decrease in the quantity of cracks for the strengthened frame was observed compared with the non-seismic frame, while there was the obvious appearance of the failure pattern due to the shear crack. The lateral-resisting capacity for the non-seismic bare frame and the strengthened frame may be determined per the specified shear strength of the reinforced columns in accordance with the distance to a critical section. The effective depth of the column may be referred to as the longitudinal length from the border between the column and the foundation. The lateral-resisting capacity for the non-seismic bare frame and the strengthened frame may be reasonably determined per the specified shear strength of the reinforced columns in accordance with the distance to a critical section. The effective depth of the column may be referred to as the longitudinal length from the border between the column and the foundation. The proposed method had an error of about 2.2% for the non-seismic details and about 4.4% for the strengthened frame based on the closed results versus the experimental results.

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.

본 연구에서는 1988년 이전에 설계된 RC라멘+코어월 구조형식의 비내진 건축물을 선정하여 내진성능평가를 통해 현재 건축물들의 내진성능수준을 파악하고, 목표 내진성능수준에 적합하도록 보강 방안을 제시하였고, 보강방법별 성능을 비교하 였다. 보강 전 중앙코어 건축물과 측면코어 건축물의 내진성능수준은 모두 붕괴방지수준이었지만 보강 후에는 두 건축물 모두 목표 내진성능수준인 거주가능수준으로 성능이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 보강방법별 성능을 비교한 결과 중앙코어 건축물의 경우 벽체보강방법이 가장 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 측면코어 건축물의 경우 가새보강방법이 가장 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

내진설계기준이 개정됨에 따라 기 시공된 철근콘크리트 건축구조물의 내진보강에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 특히 내진철근상세가 적용되지 않은 철근콘크리트 기둥의 경우 지진이 발생할 경우 취성적인 전단파괴가 발생할 가능성이 크다. 본 연구에서는 아라미드 FRP를 이용하여 비내진상세 철근콘크리트 기둥의 휨 및 전단내력 보강 후, 실험체를 반복횡하중 가력하여 아라미드 FRP의 내력 상승효과 및 연성능력의 증가를 확인하였다. 무보강 및 아라미드 FRP 보강 실험체를 비교 한 결과 아라 미드 FRP 보강이 비내진상세 철근콘크리트 기둥의 내력을 증가시키고 연성능력 또한 증가시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 비내진상세 철근콘크리트 기둥의 아라미드 FRP 보강 시 기둥 뿐만 아니라 접합부의 보강 또한 필요함을 확인하였다.

This study was carried out to examine the effect of the presence of non-structural walls in apartment buildings subjected to an earthquake. It was believed that the presence of non-structural walls, which has not been considered in the structural design process, was usually built together with structural walls and this led to significant damages to the apartment buildings in Pohang earthquake, 2017. In this study, a 22-story apartment building was selected and modeled to simulate the seismic behavior due to earthquakes. The story drift, performance point, and compressive strain in the walls were the main parameters to evaluate the seismic performance with the presence of non-structural walls.

Response modification factors of school facilities for non-seismic RC moment frames with partial masonry infills in ‘Manual for Seismic Performance Evaluation and Retrofit of School Facilities’ published in 2018 were investigated in the preceding study. However, since previous studies are based on 2D frame analysis and limited analysis conditions, additional verification needs to be performed to further apply various conditions including orthogonal effect of seismic load. Therefore, this study is to select appropriate response modification factors of school facilities for non-seismic RC moment frames with partial masonry infills by 3D frame analysis. The results are as follows. An appropriate response modification factor for non-seismic RC moment frames with partial masonry infills is proposed as 2.5 for all cases if the period is longer than 0.6 seconds. Also if the period is less than 0.4 seconds and the ratio of shear-controlled columns is less than 30%, 2.5 is chosen too. However, if the period is less than 0.4 seconds and the ratio of shear-controlled columns is higher than 30%, the response modification factor shall be reduced to 2.0. If the period is between 0.4 and 0.6 seconds, then linearly interpolates the response correction factor.

Most school buildings consist of reinforced concrete (RC) moment frames with masonry infills. The longitudinal direction frames of those school buildings are relatively weak due to the short-column effects caused by the partial masonry infills and need to be evaluated carefully. In ‘Manual for Seismic Performance Evaluation and Retrofit of School Facilities’ published in 2018, response modification factor of 2.5 is applied to non-seismic RC moment frames with partial masonry infills, but sufficient verification of the factor has not been reported yet. Therefore, this study conducted seismic performance evaluation of planar RC moment frames with partial masonry infills in accordance with both linear analysis and nonlinear static analysis procedures presented in the manual. The evaluation results from the different procedures are compared in terms of assessed performance levels and number of members not meeting target performance objectives. Finally, appropriate response modification factors are proposed with respect to a shear-controlled column ratio.

Existing reinforced concrete building structures have seismic vulnerabilities due to their seismically-deficient details resulting in non-ductile behavior. The seismic vulnerabilities can be mitigated by retrofitting the buildings using a fiber-reinforced polymer column jacketing system, which can provide additional confining pressures to existing columns to improve their lateral resisting capacities. This study presents dynamic responses of a full-scale non-ductile reinforced concrete frame retrofitted using a fiber-reinforced polymer column jacketing system. A series of forced-vibration testing was performed to measure the dynamic responses (e.g. natural frequencies, story drifts and column/beam rotations). Additionally, the dynamic responses of the retrofitted frame were compared to those of the non-retrofitted frame to investigate effectiveness of the retrofit system. The experimental results demonstrate that the retrofit system installed on the first story columns contributed to reducing story drifts and column rotations. Additionally, the retrofit scheme helped mitigate damage concentration on the first story columns as compared to the non-retrofitted frame.

This research describes the impact of vertical earthquake components on the performance of typical non-ductile bridges. To achieve this goal, this research chooses a non-seismically designed reinforced concrete bridge typically found in the California area. Particularly, their columns with inadequate design have a higher possibility of shear failure. To consider this failure, the column model reflects shear-axial interaction effect and is verified by comparing simulated results and experimental data available in literature. Two computational bridge models having column shear model subjected to constant and varying axial load are then built to conduct inelastic dynamic analyses. The responses are employed to construct probabilistic seismic demand models for two bridge models. This results indicate that the consideration of shear-axial interaction effect increases the seismic demand of all bridge components in non-ductile bridges, resulting in their increased seismic vulnerability.

The seismic damage of non-structural components, such as communication facilities, causes direct economic losses as well as indirect losses which result from social chaos occurring with downtime of communication and financial management network systems. The current Korean seismic code, KBC2009, prescribes the design criteria and requirements of non-structural components based on their elastic response. However, it is difficult for KBC to reflect the dynamic characteristics of structures where non-structural components exist. In this study, both linear and nonlinear time history analyses of structures with various analysis parameters were carried out and floor acceleration spectra obtained from analyses were compared with both ground acceleration spectra used for input records of the analyses and the design floor acceleration spectrum proposed by National Radio Research Agency. Also, this study investigates to find out the influence of structural dynamic characteristics on the floor acceleration spectra. The analysis results show that the acceleration amplification is observed due to the resonance phenomenon and such amplification increases with the increase of building heights and with the decrease of structure’s energy dissipation capacities.

In this paper, the a static experiment of on two reinforced concrete (RC) frame sub‐assemblages was conducted to evaluate the seismic behaviors of existing RC frames that were not designed to support a seismic load. The specimens were a one span and actual‐sized. One of them had two columns with the same stiffness, but the other had two columns with different stiffness values. As Regarding the test results, lots of many cracks occurred on the surfaces of the columns and beam‐column joints for the two specimens, but the cover concrete splitting hardly occurred was minimal until the test ends. In the case of the specimen with the same stiffness offor the two columns, the flexural collapse of the left‐side column occurred. However, in the case of the specimen with different stiffness values for of the two columns, the beam‐column joint finally collapsed, even though the shear strength of the joint was designed to be strong enough to support the lateral collapse load. The nonlinear Nonlinear static analysis of the two specimens was also conducted using the uniaxial spring model, and the analytical results successfully simulated the nonlinear behaviour of the specimens in accordance with the test results.

지진작용에 의한 교각의 파괴유형을 관찰한 결과와 교각의 내진성능실험 결과로서, 소성힌지구역의 철근상세가 교각의 내진성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미친다는 것이 잘 알려져 있다. 소성힌지구역의 철근상세 중에서는 축방향철근의 겹침이음 여부가 횡방향철근의 상세보다 더 큰 영향을 준다. 소성힌지구역에 축방향철근이 겹침이음 되어 있는 경우에는 지진이 발생할 때 축방향철근에 미끌어짐(슬립)현상이 발생하여 연성능력을 발휘할 수 없으므로 충분한 내진성능을 발휘하기 어렵다. 그러나 내진설계기준이 도입되기 이전에 설계되어 시공된 교각의 상당수는 시공 상의 편의성으로 교각 하단에 축방향철근이 겹침이음된 상태로 시공되었다. 따라서 축방향철근이 겹침이음된 비내진 교각에 대한 내진성능 평가와 보강에 대한 연구가 많이 수행된 바 있다. 그러나 비내진 교각에 대한 연구는 원형 단면 기둥과 사각형 단면 기둥에 대한 것이 대부분으로, 벽식 교각의 내진성능과 보강방법에 대한 연구는 거의 수행된 바 없다. 본 논문에서는 축방향철근이 겹침이음된 벽식 교각의 거동특성을 실험적으로 파악하고 겹침이음부의 보강개념을 제안하였다. 축방향철근의 겹침이음과 띠철근의 간격을 변수로 한 벽식 교각의 약축 방향 준정적 실험 결과, 변위연성도의 평가에 사용되는 기존의 항복변위의 정의가 벽식 교각에는 부적절하다는 사실을 발견하였다. 따라서 벽식 교각에 대한 항복변위의 새로운 결정방법을 제안하였다. 또한 비내진 벽식 교각의 내진보강에 효과적인 방법으로 강판과 볼트를 이용한 보강방법을 제시하였고, 실험을 통하여 축방향철근의 슬립현상이 지체되고 연성능력이 향상됨을 확인하였다.
