The objective of this paper is to propose retrofit design methods of theRHS column-to-H beam connections with floor slabs. Referring to previous studies on the retrofitting of moment connections, it is clear that connections retrofitted with a stiffened RBS (SR) or a lengthened horizontal stiffener (LH) has an effect on decreasing the stress/strain concentration. A new design procedure using these two retrofitting methods was thus presented. In addition, this paper addressed various design or detailing options and recommended a procedure for designing the improved retrofitting method of steel moment connections. Finally, a pilot test was conducted to verify the design procedure.

Torsional behavior of eccentric structure under seismic leading may cause the stress and/or deformation concentration, which arouse the failure of the structure in an unexpected manner. This study suggests D-R relationship which shows the overall displacement and rotation of the system based on the ultimate displacement capacity of the each lateral load resistant member. Using the suggested D-R relationship and displacement spectrum, the seismic assessment is conducted and verified in comparison with the time history analysis result. Multi-level seismic assessment Is considered which takes multiple seismic hazard levels and respective performance levels into account. Finally, based on the seismic assessment result, seismic rehabilitation process is presented. In this research, two rehabilitation methods are considered. One is done by means of stiffening/strengthening the seismic resistant members, and the other is based on the member ductility. Especially, in the first method, to optimize the rehabilitation result, the rehabilitation problem is modeled as an optimization problem, and solved using BFGS quasi-Newton optimization method.

Existing bridges are classified into 4 retrofit groups using the current preliminary screening method, considering key terms such as seismicity, vulnerability and social impact effect. However, some irrationality was found when the current method was applied to 442 existing bridges. As a result, it was determined that quantification and a more detailed classification of seismicity were required. The estimation of the vulnerability of box girder bridges having a long span length should be improved, as this showed a tendency to underestimate. It was also necessary to increase the level of social impact effect to that of vulnerability. In this study, an improved preliminary screening method has been proposed on the basis of the estimation results of existing bridges.

국내에서 기존건축물의 내진성능평가 기법이 연구되기 시작한지 20여 년간 다양한 평가방법이 제안되었다. 그러나, 제안된 평가방법은 미국이나 일본의 평가 방법을 도입 및 수정하는 내용이 주가 되어 국내실정에 맞지 않는 부분도 많이 발견되었다. 따라서 국내에서 제안된 기존 건축물의 내진성능 평가기법, 지진피해예측에 근거한 보강건축물의 합리적인 선정방법 및 이들 건축물에 적합한 내진보강방법 등의 연구는 아직까지 초보적인 단계라고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 이러한 평가 기법을 적용한 국내 저층구조물의 내진성능을 평가하는 것이다. 저층구조물의 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 1988년 내진설계가 도입되기 이전에 건립된 4층 규모의 학교구조물을 해석대상 구조물로 선정하였다. 대상 해석구조물의 내진성능평가는 일본의 내진성능 평가법을 참고하여 평가절차가 다소 복잡한 부분을 국내 실정에 맞게 개선시킨 내진화 우선도 평가방법과 정밀한 내진성능을 평하는 방법으로 세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 ATC-40 성능평가방법에서 등가단자유 모델로 변환 과정에서 등가유효감쇠 및 등가유효주기 산정 관계식의 문제점을 개선한 FEMA-440의 선형화 성능평가방법(Linearization Method)을 사용하여 구조물의 성능을 평가하였다. 내진 성능 평가를 위해 현재 전 세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 구조물 비선형 전용 해석 프로그램인 Perform-3D를 이용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 기존 저층구조물로 선정한 학교구조물에 대한 내진성능을 평가한 결과, 내진화 우선도 평가법 및 FEMA-440의 내진성능 평가는 유사한 경향의 결과를 나타내었고, 두 평가결과를 요약하면 Y방향은 보와 기둥에 끼인 조적벽체의 영향으로 별도의 내진성능이 향상 보강이 필요없으나, X방향은 창문하부 허리 조적벽 등의 영향으로 다소 취성적인 내진성능을 보유하고 있어 충분한 내진성능 확보를 위한 추가적인 보강이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, a cyclic loading test was carried out for a reinforced concrete frame installed a TS(tension-spring) damper for the purpose of verifying the seismic strengthening effect of the TS seismic reinforcing method. The test specimens are four specimens of non - reinforced frame and three reinforced frame specimens. Experimental parameters are Shape of damper and construction method of damper. As a result, the construction method of inserting type inside window was twice as much in terms of strength and stiffness, and the method of externally attached type showed a performance improvement of about 2 times in terms of energy dissipation. From these results, it can be confirmed that the TS seismic reinforcing method is a superior method for field application and seismic strengthening.

This research focuses on the issue of seismic retrofit prioritization based on the Caltrans' highway network serving Los Angeles and Orange counties. Retrofit prioritization is one of most important problems in earthquake engineering, and it is a problem that most decision makers face in the process of resource allocation. This study demonstrates the methods of prioritized resource allocation in the process of retrofitting a regional highway network. For the criteria of a retrofit ranking, seismic vulnerability and the importance of network link are first introduced. Subsequently, link-based seismic retrofit cases are simulated, investigating the effects of the seismic retrofit in terms of seismic performance, such as driver's delay. In this study, probabilistic scenario earthquakes are used to perform a probabilistic seismic risk analysis. The results show that the retrofit prioritization can be differently defined and ranked depending on the stakeholders. This study provides general guidelines for prioritization strategy for the effective retrofitting of a highway network system.

준공 후 상당한 시간이 지나 내진설계가 되지 않았거나 내진상세가 이루어지지 않은 건물의 부족한 내진성능을 보완하기 위한 방법의 하나로 좌굴이 제한된 가새형 댐퍼를 적용할 수 있다. 이 방법을 적용할 경우, 기존 내진보강법의 불확실성을 줄일 수 있었음에도 불구하고, 댐퍼의 설계과정이 복잡하여 실무에 적용하기 어려웠다. 그러나 본 원고에서는 강성과 강도개념을 적용한 댐퍼의 설계법을 적용함으로써, 실무에서 쉽게 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 준공된 지 16년이 지난 비틀림 비정형 건물에 대한 내진성능을 평가한 후, 가새형 댐퍼로 보강한 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 일방향해석결과 나타난 골조별 하중-지붕변위의 관계를 이용하여, 연약골조의 강성을 강한 골조의 강성과 일치시키고, 이 강성비로부터 댐퍼가 부담하는 최적의 내력비율을 정하여 내진보강을 수행한 결과, 가새를 설치한 방향으로는 가새형댐퍼가 비틀림 방지와 연성증대효과를 구조물에 부여하여 성능이 획기적으로 증가하였다. 또한, 그 가새의 직각방향 하중에 대해서도 가새를 설치함으로써 비틀림 강성이 증가하고, 가새와 코어벽체가 인장과 압축으로 횡력에 저항하여 횡저항 성능이 증가하였다. (2) 내진성능이 부족한 비틀림 비정형 건물의 내진성능을 증진시키기 위해 가새형 댐퍼를 적용함에 있어, 댐퍼의 강성을 이용하여 구조체의 비틀림 거동을 최소화하고, 연성을 증진시키는 방법을 체택할 경우, 실무자들이 보다 쉽게 적용할 수 있으면서 그 효과도 상당히 클 것으로 기대된다.

In paper after the strong earthquake of recently the Korea neighborhood, the Korean government survey show that the 86% of school buildings in Korea are in potential damage risk and only 14% of them are designed as earthquake-resistance buildings. Earthquake Reinforcing projects of school have been a leading by the ministry of education, however their reinforcing methods done by not proved a engineering by experiment which results in uneconomical and uneffective rehabilitation for the future earthquake. An experimental and analytical study have been conducted for the shear reinforcing method of RC beam by axis and horizontal axis load using attaching composite beam. Based on the previous research, in this study, design examples are given to show the performance evaluation for the column reinforcing of old school buildings using nonlinear analysis is going to be conducted and strengthening method is going to be on the market after their performance is proved by the test.
