In this study, the reduction schemes of ICRS(In-Cabinet Response Spectra), the main part of seismic safety qualification of old nuclear power plant(USI A-46 problem), are studied. To obtain accurate dynamic characteristics of cabinet structure, the cabinet structure modeled by frame model and its eigen analysis is performed. The three types of seismic retrofitting scenarios, such as 1) the installation of bracing, 2) installation of damper, 3) installation of tuned mass damper(TMD), are established and evaluated for the decreasing of ICRS. In the cases of 1) ＆ 2), since, the retrofitted structures show larger ICRS than that of original structure, the careful considerations are need in the application of these methods. Though, the case of TMD show the best retrofitting result, the tuning between the real structure and analysis model is estimated the essential step of retrofitting.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets are the most efficient structural materials in terms of strength to weight ratio and its application in strengthening and retrofitting of a structure or structural elements are inevitable. The performance enhancement of structural elements without increasing the cross sectional area and flexible nature are the major advantages of FRP in retrofitting/strengthening work. This research article presents a detailed study on the inelastic response of conventional and retrofitted Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) subjected to quasi-static loading. The hysteretic behaviour, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and damage index are the parameters employed to analyse the efficacy of FRP strengthening of brick in-filled RC frames. Repair and retrofitting of brick infilled RC frame shows an improved load carrying and damage tolerance capacity than control frame.

Structural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is becoming essential to meet the up-gradation of existing structures due to the infrastructure development. Strengthening is also essential for damaged structural element due to the adverse environmental condition and other distressing factors. This article reviews the state of the field on repair, retrofitting and rehabilitation techniques for the strengthening of RC beams. Strengthening of RC beams using various promising techniques such as externally bonded steel plates, concrete jacketing, fibre reinforced laminates or sheets, external prestressing/external bar reinforcement technique and ultra-high performance concrete overlay have been extensively investigated for the past four decades. The primary objective of this article is to discuss investigations on various strengthening techniques over the years. Various parameters that have been discussed include the flexural capacity, shear strength, failure modes of various strengthening techniques and advances in techniques over the years. Firstly, background information on strengthening, including repair, retrofitting, and rehabilitation of RC beams is provided. Secondly, the existing strengthening techniques for reinforced concrete beams are discussed. Finally, the relative comparisons and limitations in the existing techniques are presented.

During earthquakes, the performance of structures needs to be evaluated, which provides guidance for selecting suitable retrofitting schemes. The purpose of this paper is to accomplish seismic assessment of a simple steel residential building. Once the responses of the system are determined, the scope of the study extends to evaluate selected retrofitting strategies that are intended to rehabilitate the flaws of the structure under prescribed ground motions with high probability of occurrence at the site. After implementing the retrofits, seismic assessment of the upgraded structure is carried out to check if the remediation at various seismic performance levels is acquired or not. Outcomes obtained from retrofitted scenarios are compared to the results obtained from the initial un-retrofitted configuration of the structure. This paper presents the process for optimal selection of rehabilitation solutions considering the cost of implementation, downtime and disruption to property owners while improving the seismic performance level of the structure.

최근 수십년간 세계 각국에서 예측 불가능한 형태의 지진발생이 증가하여 중국 쓰촨대지진, 아이티지진, 동일본대지진 등 대규모 피해가 발생하였으며, 비교적 지진에 안전한 것으로 인식되어 온 국내에서도 규모 5.0이상의 지진이 수차례 발생함에 따라 지진 안전성에 대한 사회적 요구가 증가하고 있다. 과거 발생한 지진 및 피해사례로부터 전문가들은 건축물의 내진성능 확보가 가장 효과적인 피해저감 대책으로 지목하고 있고, 이에 따라 미국, 일본 등 선진각국에서는 내진보강 지원제도를 실시하고 있다. 국외에서 실시중인 대표적인 내진보강 지원제도는 정부의 비용보조, 세제혜택, 보험료 할인 등으로 나타났으며, 국내에서는 2013년부터 내진보강 지원제도 중 하나인 세제혜택을 실시하고 있지만 민간건축물 소유자들로부터 외면받고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제의 해결방안으로서 본 논문은 국내외 건축물 내진보강 지원제도를 검토 및 분석하였으며, 그 결과 민간건축물 소유자의 부담을 최소화할 수 있는 방안이 마련되어야 함을 확인하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 민간건축물의 내진보강 활성화를 위한 정책 및 지원제도의 개선방안을 위하여 정부차원의 지원금 조성, 조세경감과 보험료 인하, 홍보 및 교육을 통한 국민의식 제고방안이 필요함을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 오래된 원자력발전소의 내진검증과 관련한 USI A-46 문제의 해결에 사용될 수 있는 캐비닛의 내진보강방안에 대해 연구하였다. 캐비닛 구조물의 동적거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 3종류의 모델링을 수행하였고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 ICRS(In Cabinet Reponse Spectrum)의 저감을 위하여 1) 보강프레임, 2)감쇠기 설치, 3) 동조질량감쇠기 등 세 가지 내진보강방안에 대하여 구조물의 응답을 산정하였다. 해석결과, 가새보강 및 감쇠기를 설치하는 보강방법에서는 보강전의 구조물보다 큰 ICRS가 얻어지는 경우가 발생해 보강시 많은 주의가 요구된다. 동조질량감쇠기의 사용은 좋은 제진효과를 보였으나 실구조물과 정확한 진동특성을 반영한 모델의 작성이 중요한 것으로 판단되었다.

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.

Many public buildings such as schools, hospitals, etc., where partial infill walls are present in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, have undergone undesirable damage/failure attributed to captive column effect during a moderate to severe earthquake shaking. Often, the situation gets worsened when these RC frames are non-ductile in nature, thus reducing the deformable capability of the frame. Also, in many parts of the Indian subcontinent, it is mandatory to use fly-ash bricks for construction so as to reduce the burden on the disposal of fly-ash produced at thermal power plants. In some scenario, when the non-ductile RC frame, partially infilled by fly-ash bricks, suffers major structural damage, the challenge remains on how to retrofit and restore it. Thus, in this study, two full-scale one-bay, one-story non-ductile RC frame models, namely, bare frame and RC partially infilled frame with fly-ash bricks in 50% of its opening area are considered. In the previous experiments, these models were subjected to slow-cyclic displacement-controlled loading to replicate damage due to a moderate earthquake. Now, in this study these damaged frames were retrofitted and an experimental investigation was performed on the retrofitted specimens to examine the effectiveness of the proposed retrofitting scheme. A hybrid retrofitting technique combining epoxy injection grouting with an innovative and easy-to-implement steel jacketing technique was proposed. This proposed retrofitting method has ensured proper confinement of damaged concrete. The retrofitted models were subjected to the same slow cyclic displacement-controlled loading which was used to damage the frames. The experimental study concluded that the hybrid retrofitting technique was quite effective in enhancing and regaining various seismic performance parameters such as, lateral strength and lateral stiffness of partially fly-ash brick infilled RC frame. Thus, the steel jacketing retrofitting scheme along with the epoxy injection grouting can be relied on for possible repair of the structural members which are damaged due to the captive column effect during the seismic shaking.
