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.

초고층 건물의 횡변위 제어를 위하여 사용되는 아웃리거를 기존의 철골 트러스 대신에 철근콘크리트 벽체로 대체할 수 있다. 철근콘크리트 아웃리거 벽체를 외부 기둥에 연결할 경우에는 축력뿐만 아니라 전단력과 모멘트가 외부 기둥에 유발될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 아웃리거 벽체 외단부의 회전으로 인한 외부 기둥의 전단력을 수식으로 유도하고 그 값을 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하였다. 유한요소해석에서는 층별 연결보의 효과와 전단벽과 아웃리거를 보와 평면응력요소로 모델링한 효과를 분석하였다. 층별 연결보의 효과는 거의 없었으며 평면응력요소는 보요소보다 더 큰 강성을 가진 것으로 해석되었다. 아웃리거 벽체의 외단부 회전으로 인한 외부기둥의 층간 회전각과 전단력은 허용값에 비하여 상당히 작은 값이 발생하였다. 따라서 초고층 건물에 철근콘크리트로 된 아웃리거 벽체를 적용할 경우에도 외부 기둥에 유발되는 전단력과 모멘트에 대하여 별도의 검토를 할 필요는 없을 것으로 판단된다.

This study focus on Perimeter Concrete Wall Dampers (PCWD). PCWD can achieve required large mass ratio without additional mass. This system also can control multimode vibration. Suitable location for the installation of PCWD and their tuning frequencies are selected based on modal parameters of the uncontrolled structure respectively. In addition to the numerical simulation, an eleven story is modeled using SAP2000. The proposed system is greatly reducing seismic response of main structure.
