Evaluating seismic performance of urban structures for future earthquakes is one of the key prerequisites of rehabilitation programs. Irregular structures, as a specific case, are more susceptible to sustain earthquake damage than regular structures. The study here is to identify damage states of vertically irregular structures using the well-recognized Park-Ang damage index. For doing this, a regular 3-story reinforced concrete (RC) structure is first designed based on ACI-318 code, and a peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.3 g. Some known vertical irregularities such as setback, short column and soft story are then applied to the regular structure. All the four structures are subjected to seven different earthquakes accelerations and different amplitudes which are then analyzed using nonlinear dynamic procedure. The damage indices of the structures are then accounted for using the pointed out damage index. The results show that the structure with soft story irregularity sustains more damage in all the earthquake records than the other structures. The least damage belongs the regular structure showing that different earthquake with different accelerations and amplitudes have no significant effect on the regular structures.

Response modification factors of school facilities for non-seismic RC moment frames with partial masonry infills in 'Manual for Seismic Performance Evaluation and Retrofit of School Facilities' published in 2018 were investigated in the preceding study. However, since previous studies are based on 2D frame analysis and limited analysis conditions, additional verification needs to be performed to further apply various conditions including orthogonal effect of seismic load. Therefore, this study is to select appropriate response modification factors of school facilities for non-seismic RC moment frames with partial masonry infills by 3D frame analysis. The results are as follows. An appropriate response modification factor for non-seismic RC moment frames with partial masonry infills is proposed as 2.5 for all cases if the period is longer than 0.6 seconds. Also if the period is less than 0.4 seconds and the ratio of shear-controlled columns is less than 30%, 2.5 is chosen too. However, if the period is less than 0.4 seconds and the ratio of shear-controlled columns is higher than 30%, the response modification factor shall be reduced to 2.0. If the period is between 0.4 and 0.6 seconds, then linearly interpolates the response correction factor.

In a reinforced concrete building different shapes of column are adopted depending on the structural orientation and the architectural aspect. When there is an increase in loading due to changes in usage or revision in the design codes these columns need to be strengthened for enhanced performance during their service life. Strengthening materials such as carbon fiber and glass fiber polymer has been successfully used however, due to high cost application other alternative materials need to be explore. Galvanized steel wire mesh (GSWM) is one of the suitable materials locally available. High tensile strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, easy installation, minimum change in dimensions of the sections and cost effectives are the advantages of GSWM. Therefore, in this paper, four different shapes of column such as circular, square, rectangular and L were wrapped with different layers GSWM and jacketed with mortar. All the specimens were tested under axial compression. The objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of GSWM as a confining material for strengthening of column having varying shape. Test results shows that the axial strength enhanced with wrapping of GSWM jacket and a circular column presented the highest load carrying capacity and ductility as compared to the others. From the study of 22 column specimens, it is found that axial load is increased upto 20% and 19% when circular and square column are strengthened with one wrap of GSWM respectively, while a rectangular and L column required a wraps of two and three layers respectively in order to achieved the same load capacity as that of a circular column. Based on the present study, it is concluded that GSWM can be effectively used for strengthening of different shapes of concrete columns economically.

This paper aims to examine the behavior of slender reinforced concrete columns confined with external glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) sheets under eccentric loads. The experimental work conducted in this paper is an extension to previous work by the author concerning the behavior of eccentrically loaded short columns strengthened with GFRP wrapping. In this study, nine reinforced concrete columns divided into three groups were casted and tested. Three eccentricity ratios corresponding to e/t = 0, 0.10, and 0.50 in one direction of the column were tested in each group. The first group was the control one without confinement with slenderness ratio equal 20. The second group was the same as the first group but fully wrapped with one layer of GFRP laminates. The third group was also fully wrapped with one layer of GFRP laminates but having slenderness ratio equal 15. The experimental results of another two groups from the previous work were used in this study to investigate the difference between short and slender columns. The first was control one with slenderness ratio equal 10 and the second was fully wrapped and having the same slenderness ratio. All specimens were loaded until failure. The ultimate load, axial deformation, strain in steel bars, and failure mechanisms of each specimen were generated and analyzed. The results show that GFRP laminates confining system is less effective with slender columns compared with short one, but this solution is still applied and it can be efficiently utilized especially for slender columns with low eccentric ratio.

일반적인 내진 설계에서는 구조물의 연성적인 거동을 유도하기 위해서 보-기둥 접합부에 인접한 보에 소성힌지가 발생하도록 한다. 따라서 철근콘크리트 부재의 부착강도와 전단강도가 휨강도보다 큰 값을 가져야 하고, 전단이나 부착파괴가 요구된 연성에 도달하기 이전에 발생하지 않아야 한다. 하지만 전단경간비가 짧은 부재의 경우에는 전단이나 부착 거동의 지배를 받는 경우가 많고, 핀칭 효과로 인해 에너지 소산이 비교적 적게 발생하므로 요구된 연성에 도달하지 못하고 파괴될 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 전단경간비가 짧은 철근콘크리트 부재의 거동 분석과 연성 예측, 특히 부착 연성 능력을 평가하기 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 이것은 반복하중에 의해 저감되는 잠재 전단강도와 잠재부착내력 모델, 그리고 소성힌지 형성에 따른 휨부착응력의 급격한 증대를 도식화하여 나타낼 수 있다. 제안된 해석법은 각 값의 변화 추이를 비교하여 부재의 거동을 파악하고, 부착 거동의 지배를 받는 부재의 경우, 부착내력과 휨부착응력의 값이 만나는 지점까지를 그 부재의 부착 연성으로 평가하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 기존에 수행된 8개의 보, 기둥 시험체를 통해 비교 및 검토하였으며 부재 거동에 대한 예측은 정확히 일치하였으나, 부착 연성 능력에 대해서는 과소평가 되었다. 그 이유는 부재의 부착강도를 실제 부착강도보다 비교적 낮게 예측한 부착강도식에서 찾을 수 있으며, 다른 부착 내력 모델에 대한 부착 연성 평가에 대한 연구가 추후 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

현재 우리나라에서 5층 이하로 건축된 저층 철근콘크리트 건물의 대부분은 2005년 국내건축구조물의 내진설계기준이 강화되기 이전에 설계 및 시공이 이루어졌음으로, 더 이상 지진의 안전지대가 아닌 것으로 인식된 우리나라도 이들에 대한 내진성능 보강방안에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 저층 구조물의 기본 골조는 대부분 보와 기둥에 칸막이 벽으로 이루어져 있으므로 강성이 커서 지진의 횡파에 매우 취약하다. 칸막이 벽은 채광 과 환기를 위한 개구부와 그 아래 허리벽으로 구성되어 있다. 허리벽은 기둥의 강성을 증가시키지만 유효길이를 감소시켜 단주효과를 유발시키며 지진발생 시 기둥의 전단파괴를 야기할 수 있다. 그러나 현재 국내에서는 칸막이 벽에 대한 연구가 많지 않고 적합한 설계기준도 없는 실정이므로 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

The seismic performance of the ordinary steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns has no significant improvement compared to the reinforced concrete (RC) columns mainly because I, H or core cross-shaped steel cannot provide sufficient confinement for core concrete. Two improved SRC columns by constructing with new-type shaped steel were put forward on this background, and they were named as enlarging cross-shaped steel and diagonal cross-shaped steel for short. The seismic behavior and carrying capacity of new-type SRC columns have been researched theoretically and experimentally, while the shear behavior remains unclear when the new-type columns are joined onto SRC beams. This paper presents an experimental study to investigate the shear capacity of new-type SRC joints. For this purpose, four new-type and one ordinary SRC joints under low reversed cyclic loading were tested, and the failure patterns, load-displacement hysteretic curves, joint shear deformation and steel strain were also observed. The ultimate shear force of joint specimens was calculated according to the beam-end counterforce, and effects of steel shape, load angel and structural measures on shear capacity of joints were analyzed. The test results indicate that: (1) the new-type SRC joints display shear failure pattern and has higher shear capacity than the ordinary one; (2) the oblique specimens have good bearing capacity if designed reasonably; and (3) the two proposed construction measures have little effect on the shear capacity of SRC joints embedded with diagonal cross-shaped steel. Based on the mechanism observed from the test, the formulas for calculating ultimate shear capacity considering the main factors (steel web, stirrup and axial compression ratio) were derived, and the calculated results agreed well with the experimental and simulated data.

철근콘크리트구조에서 철근의 인장력이 발휘되기 위해서는 적절한 정착길이 또는 갈고리가 필요하다. 그런데, 접합부와 같이 배근이 집중되는 곳이나 대구경 고강도철근이 필요한 경우 정착을 위한 정착길이나 갈고리의 제작 및 배근작업이 어려우며 콘크리트의 충진성도 저하될 수 있다. 또한 갈고리부분의 과도한 응력집중으로 국부적인 지압파괴나 slip이 발생될 우려도 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 방안으로 정착판을 철근 단부에 부착한 기계적 정착공법이 제안되고 있다. 본 연구는 기계적 정착공법의 기초가 되는 정착장치의 요구성능과 정착설계법을 고찰하고 인발실험를 통해 정착장치의 앵커기능을 확인하고자 한다 인발실험 결과, 본 연구에서 설계된 정착장치는 앵커로써의 기능을 적절히 발휘하여 기존 CCD 이론식과 매우 근접한 내력을 발휘하였다 철근항복내력 이상의 정착내력을 지니는 경우, 항복하중까지 콘크리트에 아무런 손상이 발생되지 않았으며, 정착판 후미에서 콘크리트와의 상대변위는 0.2mm이하로 콘크리트에 손상을 유발시키지 않을 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서, 본 연구의 설계과정으로 제작된 기계적 정착장치를 통해 콘크리트에 유해한 손상 없이 필요한 정착내력을 확보할 수 있다. 그러나, 철근간 간격이 좁아 파괴면이 중첩되는 경우에는 정착내력이 크게 저하되어, 순수한 콘크리트 내력만으로 기계적 정착설계가 이루어지는 경우 상당한 매립깊이가 요구된다. 따라서, 실제 구조물의 정착설계를 위해서는 인접부재와의 골조거동(frame action)에 따른 구속효과와 전단보강근의 영향을 고려할 필요가 있다. 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.
