In this study, seismic performance was evaluated considering the deterioration level for the low-rise and moderate buildings with non-seismic details which are most common in Korea. Evaluation results showed that the deterioration condition is relatively good even after 24 years of construction but the seismic performance did not satisfy the protection index in the first and second evaluation. In case of the third evaluation, the goal performance was satisfied based on the interstory drift ratio but reinforcement is found to be necessary. Seismic performance was evaluated after the target buildings were reinforced in the walls, bracing, and damper. Results showed the interstory drift ratio drastically reduced regardless of reinforcement methods and satisfied the level of immediate occupancy. In case of wall reinforcement, however, base shear increased more than double which requires review on the existing foundation.

For safe seismic evaluation and design, it is necessary to predict the plastic deformation demands of members. In the present study, a quick and reasonable method for the evaluation of member plastic deformations of dual systems was developed on the basis of results of elastic analysis, without using nonlinear analysis. Plastic deformations of beams, columns, and walls are functions of member stiffness, story drift ratio, and moment redistribution determined from elastic analysis. For dual systems with rigid connections between walls and beams, an increase in the plastic deformations of beams due to the rocking effect was considered. The proposed method was applied to 8-story dual systems and the predicted plastic deformations were compared with the results of nonlinear analysis. The results showed that the proposed method accurately predicted the member plastic deformations with simple calculations, but that for the accurate evaluation of member plastic deformations, the inelastic story drift ratio must also be predicted with accuracy. The proposed method can be applied to both the performance-based seismic design of new structures and the seismic evaluation of existing structures.

The isolation system is installed at the base of a structure for reduction of the earthquake damage to the structure. In the 1970', when the laminated rubber bearing(LR type) is developed, the isolation system is put in practice. And recently a new isolation system(SR type), including the laminated rubber bearing with the friction plate beneath, is developed. In this thesis, a study on the base isolation effect, for various of the isolation system and structure properties, is performed. The results of this parameter study show that the isolation system can reduce the earthquake damage of the building structures significantly. As the period of isolation system increases, the isolation effect increases and converges to zero damage. As the number of story increases, the isolation effect reduces. It is found that SR type isolation system is more effective than LR type because SR type base isolation system reduces acceleration, drift and total displacement.

The paper aimed to find out the lateral behavior of outrigger system in high-rise building considering floor diaphragm. To achieve this goal, a structural schematic design of 80 stories building was conducted by utilizing MIDAS-Gen. In this research, the key parameters of the structure analysis were the outrigger location in plan, the slab stiffness, the outrigger stiffness and the kind of diaphragm. For the purpose of this study, we analyzed and studied the lateral displacement in top floor, the story drift and the stress in slab. The research results indicated that the outrigger location in plan, the slab stiffness, the outrigger stiffness and the kind of diaphragm had an effect on lateral behavior in outrigger system of tall building. And the results of this analysis research can provided the assistance in getting the basic data of structure design for looking for the lateral behavior of outrigger system in the high-rise building.

The study uses the crossed wide girder(waffle slab type) in apartment structural system comparing with existing shear wall system. The crossed wide girder will be able to secure the span of the longest which is possible with minimum slab thickness by not increasing the height. The research sees continuity arranges the crossed wide girder in schedule interval following the stress distribution. Namely, it is to make the interior space with the space without column and wall in the minimum height. In order to check the numerical value of this study which it interpreted the ductile frame system due to the crossed wide girder and existing shear wall system used the Midas Gen is a program which 3-dimension laterial force designs are possible. Analysis results, the crossed wide girder system is not disadvantageously laterial drift, drift ratio and deflection of slab compares with existing shear wall system. Also the whole concrete amount is similar existing shear wall system. The crossed wide girder is advantage which secure a architectal variability.

The performance-based design is highlighted as an alternative for the current design method, which cannot definitely specify the performance level that a building requires. Research on it is already in progress, however, in developed countries like the United States and Japan, to establish the basis for a performance-based design. Many studies on such design are also being conducted in South Korea, but South Korea still lags behind other countries in all-around technology. On the other hand, the column members, especially the lower external column, are affected by the variation of the axial force by overturning the moments in the case of lateral loads by earthquake. Varying the axial force can affect the time of local buckling and the ultimate behavior. Thus, in this study, the structural performance, such as the time of local buckling and the ultimate behavior, was analyzed through an experimental study on column members under varying axial force. The feasibility of a domestic study proposing a performance level with a story drift angle formed about a structural-performance-based steel structure design was also verified.

Irregularity in structural shape is a ubiquitous phenomenon. Structural hazards evoked from irregularity need to be checked against extreme lateral loadings. Structures containing four distinct types of irregularities in terms of continuity and discontinuity in upper half-length and all story levels along with O-shape are investigated. The structures were analyzed numerically and different seismic responses such as displacements, bending moment, axial forces, torsions, story drift, etc. were scrutinized. The seismic and wind load analysis was conducted for ACI 318-11 conditions. Results show that buildings having discontinuous beams on the upper half exhibit better resilience. It is also concluded that O-shaped building structures provide better resistance to overturning, making this shape relatively safe.

The dynamic analysis of delaminated composite structures is carried out based on the higher order plate theory. In the finite element (FE) formulation, the seven degrees of freedom per each node are used with transformations in order to fit the displacement continuity conditions at the delamination region. The boundaries of the instability regions are determined using the method proposed by Bolotin. The numerical results obtained for skew plates are in good agreement with those reported by other investigators. The new results for delaminated skew plate structures in this study mainly show the effect of the interactions between the geometries and other various parameters.

Analytical studies are performed to evaluate the feasibility of column-type hybrid damper for seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings. For this purpose, at first, analytical model which can simulate the hysteretic behavior of column-type hybrid damper is proposed for use of commercially-available structural analysis program (MIDAS). Also seismic rehabilitation effects by column-type hybrid damper were evaluated by time history analysis for the existing building with vertical extension. From the analysis, it was found that base shear of typical building is reduced about 20% and story drift was reduced around 20% at critical story.

After the Gyeongju earthquake, school buildings were designated as earthquake shelters. However, the ratio of designed for seismic of domestic school buildings is only 23.2% in Korea, and it is necessary to secure the seismic safety of those. Therefore, in this paper, a target building was selected before the seismic design criteria was established and the seismic performance of the building was evaluated. After the evaluation, reinforcement of the building was carried out using seismic retrofit systems which was previously tested. For this purpose, the evaluation was carried out using OpenSees program and the reliability of the seismic retrofit systems was also verified. In this way, we can more precisely reproduce the response of the building in case of actual earthquake and predict damage of the earthquake in the future.
