The use of dampers is being considered a means to improve the seismic performance of buildings. It may take considerable time and effort to find an optimal design solution since repeated three-dimensional nonlinear time history analyses are required. Therefore, a preliminary design procedure for seismic retrofit using hysteretic dampers was proposed in this study. In the proposed procedure, the amount of retrofit (required number of dampers) is estimated from the capacity curve of the building before retrofit and allowable story drift of the building. In combining the capacity curves of the building and the dampers, the deformation demand for the dampers can be easily checked against their deformation capacity. The equations to transform the device displacement to roof displacement for the combination of capacity curves are developed. The proposed procedure was applied to the seismic retrofit design of sample buildings. The study found that the estimated capacity curve was very close to the actual capacity curve obtained from the pushover analysis, which can determine an appropriate configuration to meet the required seismic performance.

While the lateral confinement provided by an FRP jacket to a concrete column is passive in nature, confinement is activated when the concrete expands due to additional compression stresses or significant shear deformations. This characteristic of FRP jacketing theoretically leads to similar initial stiffness properties of FRP retrofitted buildings as the buildings without retrofit. In the current study, to validate this theoretical assumption, the initial stiffness characteristics, and thus, the potential seismic demands were investigated through forced vibration tests on two identical full-scale substandard reinforced concrete buildings with or without FRP retrofit. Power spectral density functions obtained using the acceleration response data captured through forced vibration tests were used to estimate the modal characteristics of these buildings. The test results clearly showed that the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of the buildings are quite similar. Since the seismic demand is controlled by the fundamental vibration modes, it is confirmed using vibration-based full-scale tests that the seismic demands of RC buildings remain unchanged after CFRP jacketing of columns. Furthermore, the damping characteristics were also found similar for both structures.

The real situation of an underground reinforced concrete(RC) structure with the surrounding soil medium subjected to seismic load is quite difficult to be simulated through an expensive work and, even if it is possible to arrange such an experiment, it will be too expensive. So development of analytical method can be applied usefully to seismic design and seismic retrofit through an analysis of seismic behavior and seismic performance evaluation. A path-dependent constitutive model for soil that can estimate the response of soil layer is indispensible for dealing with kinematic interaction of RC/soil entire system under seismic loads. And interface model which deals with the dynamic interaction of RC/soil entire system is also necessary. In this study, finite element analysis program that can consider path-dependent behavior of RC and soil, and interfacial behavior between RC and soil is developed for rational seismic analysis of RC/soil entire system. Using this program, nonlinear behavior of interface between RC and soil is analyzed, and the effect of interfacial behavior to entire system is investigated.

Existing old reinforced concrete buildings could be vulnerable to earthquakes because they were constructed without satisfying seismic design and detail requirements. In current seismic design standards, the target collapse probability for a given Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) ground-shaking hazard is defined as 10% for ordinary buildings. This study aims to estimate the collapse probabilities of a three-story, old, reinforced concrete building designed by only considering gravity loads. Four different seismic design categories (SDC), A, B, C, and D, are considered. This study reveals that the RC building located in the SDC A region satisfies the target collapse probability. However, buildings located in SDC B, C, and D regions do not meet the target collapse probability. Since the degree of exceedance of the target probability increases with an increase in the SDC level, it is imminent to retrofit non-ductile RC buildings similar to the model building. It can be confirmed that repair and reinforcement of old reinforced concrete buildings are required.

본 연구에서는 직접변위기반 설계법에 의하여 철근콘크리트 기둥이 목표변위에 도달하도록 하는 보강설계를 수행하였다. 철근콘크리트 기둥의 비선형 거동은 등가 선형 시스템으로 단순화하여 해석한다. 먼저 목표변위를 결정하고, 단자유도 시스템의 등가고유주기를 추정하기 위하여 탄성 변위스펙트럼을 작성하였다. 고유주기가 결정되면 시스템의 질량을 근거로 강성을 이용하여 요구강도를 계산한다. 이후 비선형 층상화 단면해석을 통해 얻어진 하중-변위관계에 따라 요구강도를 만족하는 보강설계를 수행하였다. 비선형 층상화 단면해석 프로그램을 개발하고 보강설계 절차를 제안하였으며 이를 적용한 결과, 보강설계를 통해 보강한 철근콘크리트 기둥은 보강하지 않은 기둥과 비교하여 내진 성능이 향상 된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This paper investigates seismic damage potential of recent September 12 M5.8 Gyeongju earthquake from diverse earthquake engineering perspectives using the accelerograms recorded at three stations near the epicenter. In time domain, strong motion durations are evaluated based on the accelerograms and compared with statistical averages of the ground motions with similar magnitude, epicentral distance and soil conditions, while Fourier analysis using FFT is performed to identify damaging frequency contents contained in the earthquake. Effective peak ground accelerations are evaluated from the calculated response spectra and compared with apparent peak ground accelerations and the design spectrum in KBC 2016. All these results are used to consistently explain the reason why most of seismic damage in the earthquake was concentrated on low-rise stiff buildings but not quite significant. In order to comparatively appraise the damage potential, the constant ductility spectrum constructed from the Gyeongju earthquake is compared with that of the well-known 1940 El Centro earthquake. Deconvolution analysis by using one accelerogram speculated to be recorded at a stiff soil site is also performed to estimate the soil profile conforming to the response spectrum characteristics. Finally, response history analysis for 39- and 61-story tall buildings is performed as a case study to explain significant building vibration felt on the upper floors of some tall buildings in Busan area during the Gyeongju earthquake. Seismic design and retrofit implications of M5.8 Gyeongju earthquake are summarized for further research efforts and improvements of relevant practice.

Integral bridges are typically designed with flexible foundations that include one row of piles. The construction of integral bridges solves difficulties due to the maintenance of expansion joints and bearings during serviceability. It causes integral bridges to become more economic comparing with conventional bridges. Research has been focused not only to enhance the seismic performance of newly designed bridges, but also to develop retrofit strategies for existing ones. The local performance of the pile to abutment connection will have a major effect on the performance of the structure and the embedment length of pile inside the abutment has a key role to provide shear and flexural resistance of pile-abutment connections. In this paper, a simple method was developed to estimate the initial value of embedment length of the pile for retrofitting of specimens. Four specimens of pile-abutment connections were constructed with different embedment lengths of pile inside the abutment to evaluate their performances. The results of the experimentation in conjunction with numerical and analytical studies showed that retrofitting pile-abutment connections with CFRP wraps increased the strength of the connection up to 86%. Also, designed connections with the proposed method had sufficient resistance against lateral load.

콘크리트 공시편의 외부보강을 위해서 강판과 FRP 자켓을 이용하였다. 기존의 강판 또는 FRP 자켓 보강기법은 보강재와 콘크리트 사이에 접착제를 이용하여 시공하므로 콘크리트와 보강재가 합성거동 하게 된다. 그러나 본 연구에서 사용한 강판 보강기법은 외부압착에 의한 기법으로 강판과 콘크리트가 합성거동을 하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 비합성거동과 합성거동을 하는 보강된 콘크리트 시편의 압축 변형률의 측정과 이를 보정하는 기법을 제시하였다. 비합성거동의 강판보강 콘크리트 시편의 압축변형률 측정은 강판의 표면에서 변형률을 측정하여 표시할 수 없으며, 시편에 설치하여 측정하는 compressometer를 사용할 수도 없었다. 따라서 시편의 상하단에 두꺼운 판을 설치하여 두 판사이의 변형을 측정한 후. 이를 압축변형률로 변환하였다. 합성 거동을 하는 FRP 보강의 경우는 FRP 튜브 표면에서 측정되는 수직방향의 변형률을 콘크리트의 압축변형률로 사용이 가능하다. 그러나 튜브 표면의 수직변형률은 시편의 부풀음에 의한 인장변형률이 포함되어 있기 때문에 콘크리트의 압축변형률을 추정하기 위해서는 이를 보정하여야 한다. 보정된 압축변형률은 콘크리트 내부에서 측정한 변형률과 기존의 콘크리트 연속체 모델과 비교하였을 때, 만족한 결과를 보였다. 보정 전의 응력-변형률 곡선은 콘크리트의 연성거동 및 에너지 소산능력을 보정 전에 비해 낮게 평가할 위험성이 있다.
