구조물의 내진보강방법 중에서 가장 널리 이용되는 방법인 강재 이력형 감쇠장치는 수평하중에 대한 응력-변위 곡선을 이용하여 지진 에너지를 소산시키는 방법인데, 이 경우 편심하중 등에 의해서 부재가 면 외 방향으로 거동하여 응력-변위곡선이 불규칙하여 그 결과의 신뢰성이 떨어지는 경우가 있다. 이러한 형상을 방지하기 위해서는 별도의 채널(Channel)을 시공하는 불편함을 감수해야 하며, 또한 수평력이 반복적으로 작용할 때 그 효과를 장담할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 강재 스트립과 스프링을 결합한 댐퍼를 고안하여 스프링은 탄성변형을, 강재 스트립은 소성변형을 받게 하는 혼합형 댐퍼를 개발하고자한다. 여기서, 스프링은 복원력으로 작용하여 반복하중에 대한 저항성을 키우고 강재 스트립의 하중변위 곡선을 규칙적으로 하는 역할을 수행하게 되며 에너지 소산량을 계산할 때 편리함과 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 강재 스트립의 폭과 길이는 일정하지만 두께를 변화시켜서 5종류를 선택하였으며, 댐퍼 1개당 3개의 스트립을 정삼각형 형태로 배치하고 그 중심에 상당한 강성을 갖는 스프링을 갖는 형태로 제작하였다. 댐퍼 시험체는 5개를 제작한 후, 이 댐퍼를 구조물에 배치하였을 때의 지진에 대한 에너지 소산량과 부재력을 검토하여 댐퍼의 안전성(Safety)를 검증하고자 한다.

Existing shear wall system may cause ductility fallen to the structure which it is on because relatively weak concrete core would easy to be damaged. In this study, steel hysteresis dampers whose stiffness is higher than existing coupling beam and whose strength is easy to change depending on design load was used in coupling beam. The steel hysteresis damper was proposed for the shape connected in double in series, from this, several static test were conducted to verify structural performance of the damper. FEM analysis was also performed, then design equation were suggested.

Passive energy dissipation systems for seismic applications have been under development for a number of years with a rapid increase in implementations starting in the mid-1990s in many countries. A metallic hysteretic damper has most commonly been used for seismic protection of structures in domestic area because they present high energy-dissipation potential at relatively low cost and easy to install and maintain. This paper presents an analytical case study of the effectiveness of isotropic hysteretic metallic damper(IHMD) called Kagome as a passive dissipative device in reducing structural response during seismic excitation. An eighteen-story RC framed apartment building is studied with and without IHMD. Results demonstrate the feasibility of these techniques for seismic mitigation. The inclusion of supplemental passive energy dissipation devices in the form of IHMD proved to be a very effective method for significantly reducing the seismic response of the building investigated.

Hysteretic steel damper has been applied mainly to steel buildings. However, the usage in RC buildings is rapidly increasing recently. In order to apply the steel hysteretic damper in RC buildings, supporting elements of the damper should have sufficient strength and stiffness suitable for transferring damper forces to beams and walls. But due to the inevitable damage in reinforced concrete elements due to cracking, identification of the load transfer mechanism from damper to supporting element and hysteretic characteristics of the supporting element are extremely important in evaluating the damper behavior. Experiments were carried out on connection details between RC walls and supporting elements of the steel plate typed damper such as EaSy damper. The test results showed that fracture patterns of all specimens were almost identical except in the crack number and pattern associated with shear loading condition. Among the specimens, HD-3 shoed a well distributed cracks patterns along with good performance with respect to energy dissipation capacity, stiffness deterioration, and strength degradation.

In recent years vibration control damper made of low yield point steel is expected to play an important role in controlling structural vibration induced earthquake and wind. But their dynamic characteristics and energy dissipation effects on the whole structure model are not clarified. In this paper, firstly, we presents the results of cyclic tests on low yield steel dampers. Secondly, forced vibration tests on existence three stories steel structure model with low yield point steel dampers are presented. Lastly, it is estimated energy amount which is dissipated through the hysteresis dampers by using two types of analytical models, hysteresis model and equivalent linear model.

The use of seismic energy-dissipative devices for passive control is increasing exponentially in the recent years for both new and existing buildings. Use of these devices started in and has been somewhat limited to developed countries. One of the current challenges is to promote the use of seismic dampers in earthquake-prone developing countries by lowering the cost of the devices. This paper proposed a new type of seismic damper based on yielding of a cantilever type metallic element for seismic retrofit of existing and new building structures. The hysteretic behavior and energy dissipation capacity of the proposed damper was investigated using component tests under cyclic loads. The experimental results indicated that the damping device had stable restoring force characteristics and a high energy dissipation capacity. Based on these results, a simple hysteretic model for predicting the load-displacement curve of the seismic damper was proposed.

The purpose of this study is the development of V shaped metallic damper, which is superior than slit damper in energy dissipation capacity. For this purpose, 9 metallic damper specimens were prepared and shear testing were performed. According to test results, the V shaped metallic damper with strut height of 270mm and strut angle of $60^{\circ}$ shows a better seismic performance than any other specimens. The result of comparison with the yield strength of the dampers using the existing strength formula shows that V type metal dampers were highly evaluated than others within analyzing existing experimental result.

In this study, it is demonstrated by a pseudo dynamic earthquake response tests that combination of semi-rigid partial-strength using the high performance-high strength bolts and inter-story hysteretic damper system creates a fairly good structural system that satisfies not only the serviceability requirement under moderate earthquakes but unexpected failure of damper system.

In this study, a supplementary detail capable of restraining out-of-plane deformation was proposed for steel slit dampers, and a constant amplitude cyclic loading test was performed with the application of the proposed detail and the shape ratio of the damper as variables. Repeated hysteresis and cumulative plastic deformation according to the test results were analyzed. Repeated hysteresis of the slit damper with the proposed detail showed a stable spindle-shaped hysteresis within the set variable range, and no out-of-plane deformation of the damper was observed until ultimate state. It was confirmed that the restraining panel effect through the application of the proposed details is effective in terms of both the strength and deformation capacity of the damper. In addition, experimental parameters for the fatigue curve evaluation of slit dampers were derived in this study. Based on the results, it is judged that quantitative comparison of structural performance with various types of seismic devices will be possible in the future.
