The seismic performance evaluation and retrofit process are very important in old existing bridges. If the result is not appropriate. then a retrofit process are required. Among various retrofit methods, the seismic isolation is a very useful method. because it can be applied by replacing old bridge bearings. In this study, the effectiveness of seismic isolation is rationally verified. For this purpose, two seismic isolations used widely are selected and non-linear static and dynamic analyses are performed. The responses of existing bridges are compared with those of retrofited bridges by seismic isolation bridge for earthquake of target level. and seismic performances are evaluated.

개착식 구조물의 내진성능 예비평가는 설계자료나 현장조사를 토대로 지진도 그룹, 취약도 지수, 영향도 지수를 산정하여 내진성능 상세평가의 시행여부를 판단하는 근거가 되어왔다. 내진성능 예비평가를 적용했던 사례를 분석한 결과 평가항목 산정 시 근거가 미약하고, 내진성능 상세평가 대상으로 분류되지 않은 그룹에 대해 구조적 내진성능 확보가 불확실하여 내진성능 예비평가를 개정하였다. 개정한 내진성능 예비평가는 지진도 그룹, 취약도 지수, 영향도 지수를 적용하는 기존의 틀은 유지하면서 평가항목을 산정하는 근거를 명확하게 하였으며, 내진성능 상세평가를 실시하지 않는 그룹에 대해서도 간략하게 구조적 내진성능 확보여부를 검토할 수 있는 전단변형각을 도입하였다. 본 연구에서는 개정한 내진성능 예비평가를 기존 사례에 적용하여 결과를 도출하였으며, 기존의 적용 사례와 비교 분석하였다.

In this study, seismic capacity of R/C school buildings are investigated on the basis of the 2nd and 3rd level procedures of the Japanese Standard for Evaluation of Seismic Capacity of Existing R/C Buildings, push-over analysis and nonlinear dynamic analysis, respectively. In order to verify the applicability of the new method proposed in this study, relationships between evaluation results of the proposed methods shown in Part-2 and detailed evaluation methods mentioned above are compared.

This study is about earthquake-proof reinforcement through structural function evaluation of an school building. The purpose of this study is to comparatively analyze structure reinforcement measures in consideration of safety and usability through structural function evaluation of school buididng, to offer rational measures for earthquake-proof function and to provide help in maintaining safe structures against earthquake. For this purpose, was selected for this study as an existing school building, earthquake-proof function evaluation was conducted, and measures to reinforce earthquake-proof function was offered. As for the research method, the first and the second earthquake-proof function evaluations were conducted which is an existing reinforced concrete school building. Through the abovementioned methods, earthquake-proof function evaluation were conducted, the results were analyzed and the measure to reinforce earthquake-proof function were offered(Steel damper, Carbon plate stiffeners). The offered measure to reinforce earthquake-proof function was applied to the subject structure, and comprehensive results were derived from earthquake-proof function evaluation regarding before and after earthquake-proof function reinforcement.

With the change and development of modem architecture, architectural configurations are increasingly diversified and irregular. However, the building configurations without proper seismic considerations may cause severe damages under earthquake loads. Therefore, it is necessary to establish and implement more properly classified, specific and advanced conceptual seismic design strategies. This study explores the relationship between building configurations and seismic performance by adopting several horizontal building configurations with various re-entrant corners. For the clear comparison of five different horizontal configuration models, almost aspects of structural properties are equalized. The equivalent static analyses are conducted with the aim of understanding the characteristics of various re-entrant comers under standard earthquake loads. The seismic advantages of regular configuration model are clearly approved and the structural weak points at the re-entrant comers are investigated numerically and graphically.

The liquefaction of reclaimed land generally caused the harbor facilities to hazards. In Korea, the major harbor quay walls are gravity type and the gravity quay wall is not a good earthquake resistant structure. Recently, various earthquake resistant quay walls have been suggested, but the study on the efficiency of reinforced quay wall was not much performed. In this study, numerical analysis is carried out for performance evaluation of easily adoptable earthquake resistant quay walls. The results of numerical analysis are compared with shaking table test that is performed at the same cross-section.

This study proposed a new methodology for seismic capacity evaluation of low-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings based on non-linear required spectrum. In order to verify the reliability of the proposed method, relationships between results obtained using the proposed method and the non-linear dynamic analyses were investigated. Compared with the seismic protection index (Es=0.6) defined in the Japanese Standard, the applicability of the method was also estimated. Research results indicate that the method proposed in this study compares reasonably well with the detailed evaluation methods. Using the seismic evaluation method developed in this study, the seismic capacity category and earthquake damage degree of low-rise RC buildings corresponding to a specific earthquake level can be effectively estimated.

In Korea, the seismic design regulations was established since 1988 about regularity scale of structures. However, It was not established about seismic performance and evaluation method as the most existing buildings was constructed before Earthquake-Resistant Design(1988). In this study, for model structures which are 4 units of non-seismic designed apartment and 3 units of seismic designed in Korea performed seismic performance evaluation by suggested KISTC (2004). And the result compare to evaluate Capacity Spectrum Method by using MIDAS Gen and SDS. As a result, we observed that suggested KISTC's method have overestimated for shear stress and drift index. The purpose of this study provides most conformity seismic performance evaluation process and the appropriate method of calculating the seismic performance index in Korea.

In order to check the necessity of seismic reinforcement for a great number of existing structures effectively, it might be desirable to introduce the multi-step seismic evaluation system. This paper presents close relationships between shear-to-moment capacity ratio of a member and seismic performance of structures concerned through the failure mechanism investigation in the view of geological and structural characteristics. Based on it, the simple seismic performance evaluation method has been proposed and its effectiveness was verified by comparing with the damage condition of structures damaged under Hyogo-Ken Nambu Earthquake.
