The purpose of this article is to strengthen concrete structures using buckling and non-buckling braces. Connection plates are modeled in three shapes including the effect of 1.5t hinge zone length, 2t one and without the zone (1.5t-CP, 2t-CP and WCP). According to the verification performed with ABAQUS software, the connection plates which are superior in ductility and strengthening are found. The results show adding steel braces in concrete moment frames increase the strength and stiffness of the structures up to about 12 and 3 times, respectively. The frame strength increased about 21 and 25 percent with considering the effect of 2t hinge length in connection plates compared to 1.5t-CPs and WCPs. Also the ductility of retrofitted frames with 2t-CP improved 2.06 times more than WCP ones. Thus, 2t-CP sample is the best choice for connecting steel braces to concrete moment frames for retrofitting them. Afterwards, optimum conditions for elemental coating in braces with no buckling are assessed. The length of concrete coatings could be reduced about 30 percent, and buckling did not occur. Therefore, the weight of restraining coating decreased, and its performance improved. It is worth noting that BRBs could be constructed with only steel materials, which have outer steel tubes too. In fact, only the square cross sections of the tube profiles are appropriate for removing the filler concrete, and the rectangular ones are prone to buckle around their weak axis.

The past bridge design specifications of Korea didn't include 1imitation on the amount of lap splices in the plastic hinge zone of piers, and so do current specifications. But these specifications include just limitation on the minimal length of lap splices. Thus, a large majority of non-seismically designed bridge piers may have lap splices in plastic hinge zone. In this study, model pier was selected among existent bridge piers whose failure mode is complex shear-flexure mode. Full scaled RC pier models whose aspect ratio is about 2.67 were constructed and quasi static test according to the drift level history was implemented. From the test results, effect of the lap splices on the seismic performance of bridges piers was analyzed, and the seismic capacity of the model bridges was evaluated by capacity spectrum method.

최근 철근콘크리트 건축물의 초고층화 추세에 따라 건축물의 설계시에 고강도의 건설재료, 부재단면의 축소, 직경이 큰 철근의 사용이 요구되고 있다. 이에 따라 구조물의 다른 부위에 비하여 접합부 영역의 응력 집중현상이 커지고, 철근콘크리트 구조물에 고강도 콘크리트를 적용하므로써 고정하중의 감소, 부재단면의 축소, 부재내력의 증대, 장 스팬 구조물의 축소 가능, 경제성의 향상을 가져올 수 있는 장점으로 인하여, 철근콘크리트 구조물에 고강도 콘크리트의 이용은 더욱 증대할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 고강도콘크리트는 보통 콘크리트와 다른 특성, 특히 최대내력이후의 강도저하가 현저하고 파괴성상이 취성적인 성질을 지니고 있으므로 실제 구조물에 적용하기 앞서 구조물의 안전성 측면에서 부재 실험을 통하여 정확한 역학적 특성을 규명할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 반복 주기하중을 받는 고강도 철근콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부의 거동을 파악하고, 접합부의 내진성능 개선을 위한 새로운 설계방법을 실제 초고층 철근콘크리트 건축물의 설계를 위한 기초 자료로 제시하였다.
