The Structural Behavior of Seismic Devices using High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites

고인성 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체를 사용한 내진요소의 구조성능

Structural performance of the seismic devices made by steel bar and high performance fiber reinforced cement composites(HPFRCCs) was experimentally observed. These dampers will be applied for reducing damage as well as seismic response. The advantages of the HPFRCCs damper is selective structural performance, strength, stiffness, and ductility by changing configuration, bar arrangements and type of materials used. The experimental results indicate that elemental ductility is much increased with decreasing damage when the HPFRCCs are applied to the damper. It means cementitious damper for structural control is available which has much merit in performance and cost.
