현재 보다 다양한 형태의 건축물 설계를 가능하게 하는 대표적인 구조 시스템으로 다이아그리드 시스템이 있다. 다이아그리드 시스템은 접합부 설계 및 시공의 어려움과 가새 부재 좌굴에 의해 내진성능이 저하된다는 단점이 있으며, 이를 보안하기 위해 비좌굴 가새를 이용한 다이아그리드 시스템을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 다이아그리드 시스템과 다이아그리드 BRB 시스템의 골조 실험을 통해 초기 강성, 연성 능력과 에너지 소산능력을 평가였다. 반복가력실험 결과 Diagrid BRB의 초기 강성과 연성능력이 더 크게 나타났으며, BRB 항복 이후에도 지속적인 에너지 흡수가 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

The maximum ductility and cumulative ductility of connection joints of Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames (BRBF) are critical to the structural overall performance, which should be matched with the BRB ductility. The two-story and one-span BRBF with a one-third scale was tested under cyclic quasi-static loading, and the top-flange beam splice (TFBS) rotational connections were proposed and adopted in BRBF. The deformation capacity of TFBS connections was observed during the test, and the relationship between structural global ductility and local connection ductility was studied. The rotational capacity of the beam-column connections and the stability performance of the BRBs are highly relevant to the structural overall performance. The hysteretic curves of BRBF are stable and full under large displacement demand imposed up to 2% story drift, and energy is dissipated as the large plastic deformation developed in the structural components. The BRBs acted as fuses and yielded first, and the cumulative plastic ductility (CPD) of BRBs is 972.6 of the second floor and 439.7 of the first floor, indicating the excellent energy dissipation capacity of BRBs. Structural members with good local ductility ensure the large global ductility of BRBF. The ductile capacity and hysteretic behavior of BRBF with TFBS connections were compared with those of BRBF with Reduced Beam Section (RBS) connections in terms of the experimental results.

Timber is one of the few natural, renewable building materials and glulam is a type of engineering wood product. In the present work, timber-based braces are applied for retrofitting midrise Special Moment Resisting Frame (SMRF) using two types of timber base braces (Timber base glulam, and hybrid Timber-Steel-BRB) as alternatives for retrofitting by traditional steel bracings. The improving effects of adding the bracings to the SMRF on seismic characteristics of the frame are evaluated using load-bearing capacity, energy dissipation, and story drifts of the frame. For evaluating the retrofitting effects on the seismic performance of SMRF, a five-story SMRF is considered unretofitted and retrofitted with steel-hollow structural section (HSS) brace, Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam) brace, and hybrid Timber-Steel BRB. Using OpenSees structural analyzer, the performance are investigated under pushover, cyclic, and incremental loading. Results showed that steel-HSS, timber base Glulam, and hybrid timber-steel BRB braces have more significant roles in energy dissipation, increasing stiffness, changing capacity curves, reducing inter-story drifts, and reducing the weight of the frames, compared by steel bracing. Results showed that Hybrid BRB counteract the negative post-yield stiffness, so their use is more beneficial on buildings where P-Delta effects are more critical. It is found that the repair costs of the buildings with hybrid BRB will be less due to lower residual drifts. As a result, timber steel-BRB has the best energy dissipation and seismic performance due to symmetrical and stable hysteresis curves of buckling restrained braces that can experience the same capacities in tension and compression.

필로티형 저층 RC 집합주택에서는 지진 발생 시 필로티층에 손상이 집중된다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 필로티층의 비틀림과 X, Y방향의 강도와 강성을 증가시키기 위해 좌굴방지가새를 설치함과 동시에, 과도한 변형과 축력의 변동이 발생하는 외부기둥의 연성과 축성능, 전단 성능을 증가시키기 위해 외부기둥을 FRP로 보강하였다. 이와 같은 보강 효과를 실험적으로 검증하기 위해 순수 골조와 FRP와 좌굴방지가새로 보강된 골조에 대한 반복 횡하중 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 항복강도(43.2 kN)는 설계항복강도(30 kN)와 압축부의 강도 증가 때문에 차이가 나타났고, 강성(11.6 kN/mm)은 설계강성(24.2 kN/mm)에 비하여 절반의 값을 가졌다. 이러한 강성의 차이는 골조와 가새의 접합부 사이의 미끄러짐과 기초의 회전 및 횡변위가 원인으로 나타났다. 보강된 골조의 에너지 흡수 능력은 순수 골조에 비해 7.5배 향상되었다. 기초당 설치된 로드셀의 개수를 2개에서 1개로 변화시키면, 횡강성이 11.6 kN/mm에서 6 kN/mm로 줄어 들었고, 이것은 단지 순수 골조의 강성에 3배에 지나지 않는다(2.1 kN/mm).

본 논문에서는 중 약진 지역에서 중력 저항시스템인 중간 모멘트골조로 설계된 3층, 6층 RE 플랫플레이트 구조물을 KBC 2005를 만족하도록 RC구조물에 강판과 가새/ BRB 등의 보강방법을 적용하여 보강하고, 내진성능을 평가하여 보강 효과를 검증하였다. 비탄성 정적해석과 동적해석 결과에 따르면 내진 보강된 구조물은 강도와 강성이 크게 향상된 것으로 나타났다 특히 기둥을 철판으로 보강한 경우 슬래브를 철판으로 보강하여 조기 뚫림 전단파괴를 방지함으로써 강도를 크게 향상할 수 있다. BRB로 보강된 구조물은 Brace로 보강된 구조물보다 다소 연성적 거동을 보였으며, 그 효과는 3층 모델에서 현저하게 나타났다.

The superelastic viscous damper (SVD) is a hybrid passive control device comprising a viscoelastic damper and shape memory alloy (SMA) cables connected in series. The SVD is an innovative damper through which a large amount of seismic energy can dissipate. The current study assessed the seismic collapse induced by steel moment-resisting frames (SMRFs) equipped with SVDs and compared them with the performance of special MRFs and buckling restrained brace frames (BRBFs). For this purpose, nonlinear dynamic and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) were conducted in OpenSees software. Both 5- and 9-story special MRFs, BRBFs, and MRFs equipped with the SVDs were examined. The results indicated that the annual exceedance rate for maximum residual drifts of 0.2% and 0.5% for the BRBFs and MRFs with SVDs, respectively, were considerably less than for SMRFs with reduced-beam section (RBS) connections and that the seismic performances of these structures were enhanced with the use of the BRB and SVD. The probability of collapse due to residual drift in the SVD, BRB, and RBS frames in the 9-story structure was 1.45, 1.75, and 1.05 times greater than for the 5-story frame.

2016 Gyeongju and 2017 Pohang earthquakes led Koreans to acknowledge that the Korean peninsula is not an earthquake-free zone anymore. Among various buildings crucial to after-shock recovery, general hospital buildings, especially existing old ones, are very significant so seismic retrofitting of those must be an important issue. Self-centering energy dissipative(SCED) brace is one of retrofitting methods, which consists of tendon with restoring force and friction device capable of dissipating seismic energy. The strength of the SCED brace is that the tendon forces a structure to go back to the original position, which means residual drift can be negligible. The residual drift is a very important parameter to determine usableness of general hospitals after shock. To the contrary, buckling-restrained braces(BRB) are also a very effective way to retrofit because they can resist both compressive and tensile, but residual drift may exist when the steel core yields. On this background, the seismic retrofitting effect of general hospitals reinforced with SCED braces was investigated and compared to that of the BRD in this study. As a result, although the floor acceleration cannot be reduced, the story drift and residual drift, and the shear demand of walls significantly decreased. Consequently, seismic retrofitting by SCED braces are very effective for domestic low-rise general hospitals.

Substructure pseudo-dynamic hybrid simulation (SPDHS) combining the advantages of physical experiments and numerical simulation has become an important testing method for evaluating the dynamic responses of structures. Various parameter identification methods have been proposed for online model updating. However, if there is large model gap between the assumed numerical models and the real models, the parameter identification methods will cause large prediction errors. This study presents an ANN (artificial neural network) method based on forgetting factor. During the SPDHS of model updating, a dynamic sample window is formed in each loading step with forgetting factor to keep balance between the new samples and historical ones. The effectiveness and anti-noise ability of this method are evaluated by numerical analysis of a six-story frame structure with BRBs (Buckling Restrained Brace). One BRB is simulated in OpenFresco as the experimental substructure, while the rest is modeled in MATLAB. The results show that ANN is able to present more hysteresis behaviors that do not exist in the initial assumed numerical models. It is demonstrated that the proposed method has good adaptability and prediction accuracy of restoring force even under different loading histories.
