The objective of this study is to investigate the seismic capacity of the non-seismically detailed RC bridge piers before and after applying a seismic retrofitting method using stainless steel wire mesh. Total nine circular section RC piers were constructed. Different lap splice longitudinal reinforcement details were adapted for four specimens and various types of stainless steel wire mesh were applied for the remaining five specimens. Harmonic cyclic lateral load was applied on each specimen under a constant axial load. The test results indicated that the existing circular piers have low seismic capacity while the stainless steel wire mesh retrofitting method improves the seismic capacity considerably. In addition, test results revealed that the circular section piers could have a considerable amount of ductility if longitudinal bars are not lap-spliced in potential plastic hinge zone. Based on this experimental study it could be concluded that the seismic performance, that is ductility and energy absorption capacity, of the non-seismically detailed RC bridge piers would be increased by applying the stainless steel wire mesh seismic retrofitting method.

The seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete (RC) elements to which seismic design was not applied is questionable. To evaluate the behavior of existing RC columns, column specimens with widely spaced transverse reinforcement and 90-degree hoop anchor hooks as variables were designed. Experimental tests were performed by applying a fixed low axial load and increasing lateral cyclic loads to the specimens. As a result, the hoop spacing and anchor hook angle did not significantly affect the load-displacement relationship and the dissipated energy before failure.

Reinforced concrete (RC) moment frames are used as lateral seismic load resisting systems in mid- and high-rise buildings in different regions of the world. Based on the seismic design provisions and construction details presented in design codes, RC frames with different levels of ductility (ordinary, intermediate, and special) can be designed and constructed. In Iran, there are RC buildings with various uses which have been constructed based on different editions of design codes. The seismic performance of RC structures (particularly moment frames) in real seismic events is of great importance. In this paper, the observations made on damaged RC moment frames after the destructive Sarpol-e Zahab earthquake with a moment magnitude of 7.3 are reported. Different levels of damage from the development of cracks in the structural and non-structural elements to the total collapse of buildings were observed. Furthermore, undesirable failure modes which are not expected in ductile seismic-resistant buildings were frequently observed in the damaged buildings. The RC moment frames built based on the previous editions of the design codes showed partial or total collapse in this seismic event. The extensive destruction of RC moment frames compared with the other structural systems (such as braced steel frames and confined masonry buildings) was attributed not only to the deficiencies in the construction practice of these buildings but also to the design procedure. In addition, the failure and collapse of masonry infills in RC moment frames were frequent modes of failure in this seismic event. In this paper, the main reasons related to design practice which led to extensive damage in the RC moment frames and their collapse are addressed.

Recent destructive seismic events demonstrated the importance of mitigating human casualties and serious property damages in design and construction of structures. The Korean Bridge Design Specifications (1992) adopted seismic design requirements based on the AASHTO specification, and minor modification was made in 2000. The longitudinal steel connection of reinforced concrete bridge column is sometimes practically unavoidable. The longitudinal reinforcement details affect seismic performance such as flexural failure and shear failure. This research aims to develop longitudinal steel connection details with confinement steel by experimental study for seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge columns. Quasi-static test under three different axial load levels was conducted for 12 spiral column specimens. All the column specimens had the same aspect ratio of 3.5. The column specimens were transversely reinforced with spiral and with five different longitudinal steel connection. The final objective of this study is to suggest appropriate longitudinal reinforcement connection details for the limited ductility design concept and improve construction quality.

The influence of lap splice of longitudinal bars in the plastic hinge zone on the nonlinear behavior characteristics of RC piers has been investigated through the scale model tests. The seismic performance of bridge piers with lap splice is found to be insufficient due to the premature bond failure. On the other hand it is confirmed that the preventing lap splice in the plastic hinge zone enhance the seismic performance considerably even without the seismic details of transverse reinforcements. Bases on these experimental results new seismic detailing concept appropriate to moderate seismicity region has been proposed.

This research proposed a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based seismic retrofit design of moment frame structures using a steel frame assembly. Two full scale specimens of the steel frame assembly with different corner details were attached to one-story RC frames for seismic retrofit, and the lateral load resisting capacities of the retrofitted frames subjected to cyclic loads were compared with those of a bare RC frame. The open source software framework Opensees was used to develop an analytical model for validating the experimental results. The developed analytical model and the optimization scheme were applied to a case study structure for economic seismic retrofit design, and its seismic performance was assessed before and after the retrofit. The results show that the developed steel frame assembly was effective in increasing seismic load resisting capability of the structure, and the PSO algorithm could be applied as convenient optimization tool for seismic retrofit design of structures.

5층 이하 비내진상세를 가지는 철근콘크리트 건축물의 지진시 긴급 위험도 평가를 위한 부재의 정량적 손상도 평가 기준을 제시하기 위하여 실대형 크기의 철근콘크리트 1층 1경간 골조 실험체의 정적실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 실험체는 기둥의 휨항복후 전단파괴에 의하여 파괴되었으며, 기둥과 접합부에 균열, 압괴 등의 손상이 발생한 반면, 보에는 균열 등의 손상이 거의 발생하지 않았다. 이와 같이 비내진상세를 가지며 휨항복후 전단파괴하는 철근콘크리트 기둥의 손상도를 5단계로 분류하고 손상단계별 한계상태를 평가하기 위한 정량적 기준으로서 지진시 상대적으로 측정이 용이한 잔류 층간변형각과 잔류 균열폭을 이용하였다. 손상한계상태의 잔류 층간변형각 및 잔류 균열폭은 실험결과에 따른 손상한계상태의 최대 층간변형각과의 관계에 의하여 결정하였으며, 한계 최대 층간변형각은 실험결과에 의한 부재의 하중-변형 관계 및 손상발생 현황을 바탕으로 결정하였다. 한계 잔류 층간변형각은 해당 최대 층간변형각에 의한 잔류 층간변형각 중의 최대값 이상이 되도록 하였으며, 한계 잔류 균열폭은 해당 최대 층간변형각에 의한 잔류 전단균열폭의 최소값 및 잔류 휨균열폭의 평균값으로 결정하였다. 한편, 본 논문을 통하여 제시한 손상한계상태의 잔류 층간변형각과 잔류 균열폭은 지진으로 동일한 부재 변형이 발생할 경우 내진설계가 실시된 부재를 대상으로 하는 국외 손상도 평가 기준에 의한 값보다 작은 것으로 나타났다.

현 설계기준에서 제시한 단부횡보강 상세는 시공성과 생산품질이 현저히 떨어지므로 내진성능과 시공성을 확보할 수 있는 RC 구조벽체의 단부횡보강 상세 개발이 필요하다. 최근 선재 제작기술의 발전으로 다양한 선조립철근의 제작이 가능해지고 있으며 특히 다양한 연속횡보강 철근 상세의 제작이 가능하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 사각 연속횡보강 선조립철근 단부횡보강 상세를 적용한 RC 구조벽체의 모멘트-곡률 관계에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. 비선형 단면해석에 의하면 사각 연속횡보강의 상세를 적용한 RC 구조벽체는 사각 연속횡보강 영역의 면적이 증가할수록 내진성능을 확보할 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과에 근거하여 사각 연속횡보강 선조립 철근의 상세 적용시, 단부횡보강 영역의 면적만큼 사각 연속횡보강 영역의 면적을 확보해야 한다.
