  • Detail development and performance tests were conducted for the purpose of developing a damper system capable of lateral displacement control of existing frame structures. The development details are 1) ALD designed to prevent deformation of beams between columns and 2) AWD designed to control inter-story displacement. The non-reinforced BF specimen was used as a comparative study. The evaluation variables are failure mode, load-displacement curve, envelope curve, maximum strength, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity. As a result, the seismic strengthening effect of ALD and AWD was confirmed. Also, it was confirmed that the method of restraining the column with the aramid sheet is superior to the improvement of the seismic performance.

  • Recently. there has been steadily applied in high-performance concrete using powder type admixture in construction field. It has been reported that high-performance concrete is likely to cause the spalling by fire more seriously due to the dense microstructure. In this paper, spalling properties of high-performance concrete with the kinds of admixture and polypropylene(PP) fiber contents are presented. According to the experimental results concrete contained no PP fiber take place in the form of the surface spalling, regardless of admixture. Concrete contained more than 0.05% of PP fiber and admixture do not take place the spalling, however the concrete using silica fume do spalling. Concrete using blast furnace slag have good performance in spalling resistance. It is found that residual compressive strength has 60~70% of its original strength when spalling do not occur. Although specimens after exposed at high temperature are cured at water for 28days, they do not recover their original strength.

  • A study was conducted to secure structural performance as well as improve workability by improving the reinforcement details of special shear wall and coupling beams. Based on the specimen in which the existing diagonal bundle reinforcement and shear reinforcement were placed, the specimens replaced with thick diagonal reinforcing bars and the specimens replaced with horizontal reinforcing bars were selected as variables. As a result of the experiment, the specimen, which replaced the existing diagonal reinforcement with a thick-diameter reinforcement, showed a similar behavior to that of the basic specimen, and it was evaluated that it can be applied as an alternative to the details.

  • In order to find out the management and sanitation status of protective gear provided at the construction site, a case study and survey were conducted by visiting the site. As a result of the case study, inspection and management, disinfection, and storage of protective equipment were insufficient in both workplaces with less than 50 employees and workplaces with more than 100 employees. As a result of the survey, workers(66.2%), said they did not know how to identify hard hats(67.6.%), how to identify bad hard hats(60.8%), and how to identify bad safety belts (73.0%), even though workers(66.2%) were educated on protective gear, and those in charge of protective gear Non-specified(56.8%), regular inspection of the provided protective equipment was not performed(82.4%), and disinfection was not performed(90.5%). Therefore, as a management plan to maintain the performance of personal protective equipment, educational aspects, regular training on protective equipment, training on how to identify defective protective equipment, management of recording papers, technical aspects, strengthening of standards for placement of dedicated safety managers in small workplaces, participation of workers' representatives when selecting protective equipment, and selection of protective equipment for workers Providing opportunities, administrative aspects of protective equipment regulation and management, introduction of sanitary and cleanliness system, and selection of personnel in charge of protective equipment management were suggested.

  • The spalling analysis of high strength concrete columns needs a very complex and difficult process accounting for peeling of cover concrete as well as thermal, thermo-stress and hygro-transfer phenomena. However, the study on the spalling analysis method is insufficient. The practical spalling analysis algorithm is developed in this study, which formulates a vapor pressure equation as the parameter of temperature and cover depth and uses the compatibility condition In results of the spalling analysis, as the concrete strength increases and the content of PP fiber decreases the degree of spalling increases. This shows a similar result as the previous experimental study. Therefore the developed algorithm suggested in this study is expected to be useful in predicting the spalling of high strength concrete columns.

  • Due to the frequent occurrence of large-scale disasters such as recent earthquakes, the problem of the safety of old school buildings has emerged. The need to secure safety management technology through constant monitoring is increasing in an attempt to supplement old school buildings with weak disaster response capabilities. Traditional research is approaching the development of an existing sensor-based risk precursor information monitoring system. However, unlike this, in this study, we will focus on the development of a data analysis platform as part of the development of a continuous monitoring system that can be prepared for earthquakes, collapses, and fires, based on constantly measured data. For this reason, the development of a safety diagnostic algorithm based on the optimal sensor-attached points and sensor data reflecting the fragile characteristics of old school buildings was derived. Utilizing this, a message and action manual system for each management / use entity of school buildings after retirement was constructed.
