In this study, the influences of steel dampers on the behavior of RC frames were investigated using the experimental approach to suggest the installation methods of steel dampers using K-barces. The performances of RC frames with dampers can be evaluated by superposition the load-displacement curves of RC frames and steel dampers with regard to the influences of K-braces. Three specimens are tested to investigate the cyclic behavior of RC frames with dampers. The performances of RC frames with dampers with respect to strength, rigidity, and hysteretic performance are examined. It was found that test results demonstrates the effect of seismic retrofit on RC frames with steel dampers(D-RCF-KBSF, D-RCF-KBSP) compared with RC frames(N-RCF). An approximate design curves may not be good agreement with those of the tests, it is conservative enough so that you can design of RC frames with steel damper with regard to the influences of K-braces.

최근 전 세계적으로 지진의 발생 빈도가 증가하며 그 규모도 점차 커지는 경향을 보이고 있다. 대형지진의 발생 시 저층 구조물의 붕괴로 인한 인명 및 사회, 경제적 피해가 두드러짐에 따라 기존 저층 구조물의 내진보강기법에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행 중인 추세이다. 우리나라의 경우 강도증가형 내진보강공법이 주를 이루고 있어 다양한 내진보강기법의 개발 및 적용이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지진입력하중 저감형 내진보강기법으로서 강재댐퍼시스템을 제안하여 구조적 성능을 파악하고, 이를 적용한 보강 실험체와 비보강 실험체를 제작하여 정적가력실험을 통하여 그 성능을 비교하였다. 제안된 강재댐퍼시스템은 입력에너지를 소산시키는 내부의 슬릿형 댐퍼와 이를 지지하는 기둥 및 외부 프레임으로 구성되며, 내부 댐퍼는 먼저 항복하여 에너지를 소산시키기 위하여 지지기둥 및 프레임에 사용된 강재보다 강성 및 강도가 적게 계획되었다. 강재댐퍼의 성능실험 결과, 비교적 안정적 거동을 하며, 강성과 강도 및 에너지 흡수능력이 우수하게 나타났다. 보강 및 비보강 실험체의 골조는 기존 학교 건축물의 표준도면을 기준으로 하여 골조의 일부를 대상으로 60% 축소율을 적용하여 계획하였으며, 보강 실험체는 미리 제작된 강재댐퍼시스템을 골조 내에 설치하여 에폭시 주입법으로 부착시공 하였다. 보강 및 비보강 골조 실험체의 정적가력 실험결과 비보강 실험체는 기둥의 휨 항복 후 변형의 증가에 따라 휨 및 전단 균열이 증가하면서 최종적으로 기둥이 전단파괴 되었으며, 보강 실험체는 비보강 실험체에 비하여 기둥 및 보의 균열이 적고, 골조에 골고루 분포되어 파괴 규모가 감소하였다. 최대 강도면에서 보강 실험체는 비보강 실험체에 비하여 약 3.4배 우수하였으며, 초기강성은 약 7배 가량 유리한 것으로 평가되어 제안된 강재댐퍼시스템이 강도면에서 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 또한 두 실험체의 기둥 주근 및 띠철근의 변형률을 비교한 결과, 비보강 실험체는 대부분의 철근이 항복하여 큰 변형을 일으킨 반면, 보강실험체에서는 철근의 항복현상이 나타나지 않았고 댐퍼가 항복을 하면서 큰 변형을 일으켰다. 이를 통해 지진하중 입력 시 댐퍼에서 입력 에너지를 흡수하여 큰 하중을 부담하며, 기존의 구조부재에는 입력 에너지가 낮아 손상이 보다 적게 발생함을 확인하였다.

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 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.

In this study, the nonlinear time history analysis of seismic retrofitted structures with TS damper for seven ground motion records was conducted for the purpose of verifying the seismic strengthening effect of TS seismic retrofitting method. Through comparison of the interstory drift ratio and the energy dissipation amount of the non - reinforced structure obtained and those of retrofitted structures with TS damper from the nonlinear time history analysis, the interstory drift ratio was reduced by about 30% and the amount of energy dissipation through the structure was halved. As a result, it was confirmed that the damping performance of the TS seismic retrofitting method is excellent.

In this study, a basic study was carried out on the external strengthening method of public buildings. A steel damper is installed outside the specimen with a rocking wall and connected to the frame. Two specimens were fabricated, and the non-reinforced specimens utilized the existing results. As a result of evaluating the envelope curve, strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity, it was evaluated that the strength enhancement of the RW_P specimen externally reinforced plate damper was evaluated to be excellent. In addition, RW_S specimens with external S type damper shows a gentle envelop curve after maximum load, and it can be confirmed that the damper properly dissipates the seismic energy.

In this study, in order to confirm the seismic performance of reinforced concrete frames retrofitted with Wall Friction Damper(WFD), the test was conducted by setting two-story Reinforced concrete frames (reference specimen, OMF-N and specimen retrofitted with internal H-shaped steel frame and WFD, OMF-ALL(H)) as main variables. The WFD Seismic Retrofit Method is a mixture of strength improvement and energy dissipation methods. To prevent the pre-destruction of existing structure by friction force before sufficient energy dissipation of WFD, the internal H-shaped steel frame and chemical anchor that penetrates the side of the beam were used to install WFD. According to the test results, the OMF-N specimen showed an brittle failure pattern caused by the shear force of the R/C column after the maximum strength was expressed. The OMF-ALL(H) specimen showed that the reduction of pinching effect and the failure of the RC column occurred. Also, the maximum strength, cumulative energy dissipation and ductility of OMF-ALL(H) increased 3.01 times, 7.2 times and 1.72 times for OMF-N. As a results, test results revealed that the WFD Seismic Retrofit Method installed on Reinforced concrete structure improves the seismic performance and the strengthening effect is valid.

Detail development and performance tests were conducted for the purpose of developing a damper system capable of lateral displacement control of existing frame structures. The development details are 1) ALD designed to prevent deformation of beams between columns and 2) AWD designed to control inter-story displacement. The non-reinforced BF specimen was used as a comparative study. The evaluation variables are failure mode, load-displacement curve, envelope curve, maximum strength, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity. As a result, the seismic strengthening effect of ALD and AWD was confirmed. Also, it was confirmed that the method of restraining the column with the aramid sheet is superior to the improvement of the seismic performance.

In this paper, the strengthening method was proposed for improving the seismic performance of the vulnerable structural frames. To improve the brittle characteristics of columns, aramid fiber sheet was used for the lateral confinement of columns. And to introduce the energy dissipation capacity, a steel damper with S-shaped struts was installed. By making the unreinforced and reinforced specimens with full size specimens were evaluated for lateral load resistance capacity. It was confirmed the strengthening effects by the evaluation of failure shape, strength, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation capacity. Also from the FE analysis using ABAQUS, the hysteretic behavior of the specimens were predicted and evaluated.

In this study, a series of forced vibration testing and ambient vibration measurement were performed at a lowrise masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frame structure before and after seismic retrofit and its dynamic properties were extracted using system identification techniques. Also, analytical models which show similar dynamic properties to the measures ones were constructed. The system identification results showed that damping ratios in x direction along which the dampers were installed has been increased. From the comparison between the analytical models, the effective stiffness of post-installed member and post-reinforced members(shear walls and damper frames) were only 50% of gross sectional stiffness of the members, which indicates that the these members were not fully integrated with the existing structure or members. In addition, support condition of post-installed footing has to be pinned in y direction to match the dynamic properties, which is seemingly caused by the change of fixity of the soil due to the installation of new footing.
