This paper presents the vibration control performance of the smart passive control system to suppress the undesired vibration of the structure subjected to the earthquake loadings. Smart passive control system is the MR damper-based control system augmented with electromagnetic induction(EMI) device which consists of permanent magnets and solenoid coils. According to the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, an EMI device produces electrical energy from the mechanical energy due to the reciprocal motions of the structure and provide it to the MR damper. The smart passive control system can be the simple and easy to implement and maintain control system by replacing the feedback control system including sensors, controllers and external power sources of the conventional MR damper-based semiactive control system with the EMI device. The control performance of the smart passive control system is evaluated through the set of shaking table test considering the various historical earthquake loadings.

국내의 내진설계 기준은 1988년에 처음 도입되었으며, 최근 점차 강화되고 있는 실정이다. 공동주택에 주로 적용되는 전단벽식 구조시스템에서 증가된 지진력에 저항하기 위해서는 벽량과 철근이 증가하게 되어 공사비가 상승하게 된다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위한 제진설계의 필요성이 대두되고 있는 실정인데, 기존의 제진장치는 주로 가새형 또는 벽체형을 대부분이라 평면계획에 제약이 있다. 따라서 전단벽식 구조의 공동주택의 제진설계 시에는 우리나라와 같은 중 약진 지역에 적합하고 저렴한 비용으로 충분한 내진성능과 평면의 가변성을 확보할 수 있는 댐퍼의 선택이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 기존의 가새형 및 벽체형 제진장치의 국내 공동주택 적용시의 문제점인 평면의 가변성 확보에 유리하고, 수동형 제진장치의 장점을 추구할 수 있는 마찰댐퍼를 삽입한 커플링보 제진시스템의 내진성능을 조사하는 것이다. 내진성능을 평가하기 위해서 실대형 커플링보 실험체를 계획하고 제작하였다. 실험체는 2개로 구성되어 있으며, 하나는 기존의 철근배근 상세를 갖는 철근콘크리트 커플링보 실험체와 커플링보에 마찰댐퍼가 삽입된 실험체이다. 횡하중에 대한 성능을 평가하기 위해서 유사정적 반복가력실험을 실시하였다. 엑츄에이터로부터 실험체 상보의 가력지그를 통해 하중이 전달되도록 하였으며, 가력은 최초 0.25%의 층간변형각부터 변위제어를 통해 목표 층간변형각인 1.5% 이상까지 진행되도록 하였다. 실험결과, 두 실험체의 이력곡선과 에너지 흡수능력을 평가하였다. RC 실험체는 핀칭현상이 관찰되었고, 가력이 진행됨에 따라 커플링보와 벽체에서의 균열이 확산되어 종국적으로 취성적인 커플링보의 전단파괴가 발생하였다. 마찰댐퍼를 삽입한 실험체는 계획된 마찰거동이 잘 발휘되어 목표 층간변형각인 1.5%까지 이선형거동이 잘 나타났다. 최대 내력은 RC 실험체가 3배 이상 크지만, 누적층간변형각에 따른 에너지 흡수능력은 마찰댐퍼 실험체가 2배 이상 우수한 결과를 보였으며, 커플링보 및 벽체에서의 균열이 매우 저감되었다.

In this paper, the vibration control effect of the isotropic damping devices (so-called Kagome dampers) was investigated by applying the Kagome dampers to a 20-story frame structure apartment. A new Kagome Damper System (KGDS) composed of the dampers and supporting column was proposed and numerical analyses were performed to investigate the effects of stiffness ratio between controlled structure and supporting column, the damper size and the number of the dampers. The numerical analysis results of a structure with KGDS up to the third story showed that the stiffness ratio should be higher than 6.4 and the damper size be at least $700{\times}700mm$ to effectively reduce the base shear and the maximum drift of the uppermost story. When the KGDS was installed up to the fifth story, the stiffness ratio should be higher than 7.0 and damper size needs to be at least $500{\times}500mm$ for obtaining the target performance.

The seismic control effect of reinforced concrete structures with low energy dissipating capacity due to stiffness degradation is investigated through nonlinear time history analysis. The primary structure is idealized as a SDOF system of modified Takeda hysteresis rule and an elasto-perfectly-plastic nonlinear spring is added to represent a hysteretic damping device. Based on statistics of the numerical analysis, equivalent linearization techniques are evaluated, and empirical equations for response prediction are proposed. As a result, estimation of the ductility demand with proposed empirical equations is more desirable than the equivalent linearization techniques. The optimal yield strengths based on empirical equations are significantly different from the optimal yield strength of elasto-perfectly-plastic systems. Also, the results indicate that the reduction effect of the ductility demand is more remarkable for smaller natural periods.

The objective of conventional seismic design is to ensure an acceptable safety level while avoiding catastrophic failures of structures and loss of life. Over the last many years, a large amount of research has been devoted into developing effective earthquake resistant systems in order to raise the seismic performance level of structures. The purpose of this study is to propose a new damping system, which realize not only increasing seismic performance but also easy repairing after an earthquake. The proposed damping system is slit in the bottom of wall with damping devices installed in the slit horizontally aiming to dissipate energy during earthquakes. Cyclic loading tests were conducted to investigate hysteretic behavior and energy dissipation capacity. Test results show that the proposed systems exhibit a stable hysteretic response and the energy dissipation in this system is concentrated on the damping devices.

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.
