To study the seismic performance of the all-steel buckling-restrained brace (BRB) using the novel soft steel LY315 for core member, a total of three identical BRBs were designed and a series of experimental and numerical studies were conducted. First, monotonic and cyclic loading tests were carried out to obtain the mechanical properties of LY315 steel. In addition, the parameters of the Chaboche model were calibrated based on the test results and then verified using ABAQUS. Second, three BRB specimens were tested under cyclic loads to investigate the seismic performance. The failure modes of all the specimens were identified and discussed. The test results indicate that the BRBs exhibit excellent energy dissipation capacity, good ductility, and excellent low-cycle fatigue performance. Then, a finite element (FE) model was established and verified with the test results. Furthermore, a parametric study was performed to further investigate the effects of gap size, restraining ratio, slenderness ratio of the yielding segment, and material properties of the core member on the load capacity and energy dissipation capacity of BRBs.

과거 지진피해 조사에 의하면 건물이 많은 피해를 입었으며, 현재 널리 보급되어진 저층 철근콘크리트(RC) 건물도 예외는 아니었다. 우리나라의 경우 과반수이상이 저층 RC 건물로서 대규모지진이 발생한다면 저층 RC 건물에 거대한 피해가 발생할 것으로 예상된다. 한편, 대다수의 저층 RC 건물은 다양한 수평저항시스템으로 이루어져 있으며, 이것들은 각기 다른 변위에서 파괴될 것으로 판단된다. 그 가운데에서도 강성 및 강도는 높지만 소성영역에서 극취성적인 파괴성상(Extremely Brittle Failure)을 보이는 극단주(Extremely Short Column)(본 연구에서는 h/D<2 인 기둥을 극단주라 정의함, h: 순높이, D: 폭), 전단벽 등의 전단파괴형 부재 및 비교적 강성 및 강도는 낮지만 연성능력이 우수한 기둥 등의 휨파괴형 부재는 전형적인 수평저항시스템으로 다수의 피해지진에 의하여 그것들의 중요성이 대두되었다. 일반적으로, 극취성파괴형 부재를 포함한 전단파괴형 부재가 지진시 파괴되면, 건물의 수평저항능력은 급속히 저하되며, 전단파괴형 부재의 내력이 휨파괴형 부재의 내력에 비해 비교적 높다면, 전단파괴형 부재의 파괴가 건물 전체의 파괴를 야기할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 상기 전단 파괴형 부재의 지진시의 손상메커니즘을 파악할 목적으로 전단파괴를 하는 철근콘크리트 기둥(극단주) 실험체를 계획 제작하여 유사동적실험(Pseudo-dynamic Test)을 실시하였다.

본 연구에서는 지진에 대해 보강 효과가 뛰어난 비좌굴 가새를 바탕으로 필로티를 가진 중저층 집합주택에 적합한 비좌굴 knee brace에 대해 총 5개의 실험체를 제작하여 실험을 실시하였다. 이는 공간활용이 우수하고 동선이나 시야를 방해하지 않으며, 시공 방법 또한 간단하여 필로티 층을 가진 중저층 건물에 대해 유리하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 각 실험체의 변수로는 중심코어의 크기, 외부 보강재의 크기, 단부의 크기 및 형태로 정하였으며 실험결과 중심코어의 크기가 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 외부 보강재의 크기는 중심코어의 크기에 비해 효과는 미비하나, 파괴거동이나 연성도 측면에서는 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 실험을 통해 얻어진 힘-변위 그래프는 인장과 압축에서 비교적 안정적인 이력거동을 보였으며 AISC 2005 Seismic Provision 규정에서 제시한 연성도와 에너지 소산능력 측면에서도 충분한 효과를 발휘하였다. 또한 설계 층간 변위비의 2배까지 가력을 실시하였을 때, 가새의 전체 좌굴이나 국부적인 좌굴이 일어나지 않아야 한다는 조항을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the seismic behavior of hollow reinforced concrete bridge column systems with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction and to provide the details and reference data. Five hollow reinforced concrete bridge columns were tested under a constant axial load and a cyclically reversed horizontal load. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process can be enhanced by using a sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program. The adopted numerical method gives a realistic prediction of seismic performance throughout the loading cycles for several the investigated test specimens. This study documents the testing of hollow reinforced concrete bridge column systems with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction and presents conclusions based on the experimental and analytical findings.

This study aims at evaluating the performance of repairing technique with CFRPs in recovering cyclic performance of damaged columns in flexure in terms of structural response parameters such as strength, dissipated energy, stiffness degradation. A 2/3 scaled substandard reinforced concrete frame was constructed to represent the substandard RC buildings especially in developing countries. These substandard buildings have several structural deficiencies such as strong beam-weak column phenomenon, improper reinforcement detailing and poor material properties. Flexural plastic hinges occurred at the columns ends after testing the substandard specimen under both constant axial load and reversed cyclic lateral loading. Afterwards, the damaged columns were externally wrapped with CFRP sheets both in transverse and longitudinal directions and then retested under the same loading protocol. In addition, ambient vibration measurements were taken from the undamaged, damaged and the repaired specimens at each structural repair steps to identify the effectiveness of each repairing step by monitoring the change in the natural frequencies of the tested specimen. The ambient vibration test results showed that the applied repairing technique with external CFRP wrapping was proved to recover stiffness of the pre-damaged specimen. Moreover, the lateral load capacity of the pre-damaged substandard RC frame was restored with externally bonded CFRP sheets.

In regions of high seismic risk, high-strength concrete (HSC) columns of tall buildings are designed to be fully ductile during earthquake attack by providing substantial amount of confining steel within the critical region. However. in areas of low to moderate seismic risk, the same provision of confining steel is too conservative because of the reduced seismic demand. More critically, it causes problematic steel congestion in the beam-column joints and column critical region. This will eventually affect the quality of concrete placing owing to blockage. To relieve the problem, the confining steel in the critical region of HSC columns located in low to moderate seismicity regions can be suitably reduced, while maintaining a limited ductility level. Despite the advantage, there are still no guidelines developed for designing limited ductility HSC columns. In this paper, a formula for designing limited ductility HSC columns is presented. The validity of the formula was verified by testing half-scale HSC columns subjected to combined high-axial load and flexure, in which the confining steel was provided as per the proposed formula. From the test results, it is evident that the curvature ductility factors obtained for all these columns were about 10, which is the generally accepted level of limited ductility.

In this study, a prefabricated buckling brace (PF-BRB) was proposed, and a test specimen was manufactured based on the design formula for the initial shape and structural performance tests were performed. As a result of the experiment, all standard performance requirements presented by KDS 41 17 00 and MOE 2021 were satisfied before and after replacement of the reinforcement module, and no fracture of the joint module occurred. As a result of the incremental load test, the physical properties showed a significant difference in the stiffness ratio after yielding under the compressive load of the envelope according to the experimental results. It is judged necessary to further analyze the physical properties according to the experimental results through finite element analysis in the future.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a newly developed retrofitting scheme for masonry-infilled non-ductile RC frames experimentally and by numerical simulation. The technique focuses on modifying the load path and yield mechanism of the infilled frame to enhance the ductility. A vertical gap between the column and the infill panel was strategically introduced so that no shear force is directly transferred to the column. Steel brackets and small vertical steel members were then provided to transfer the interactive forces between the RC frame and the masonry panel. Wire meshes and high-strength mortar were provided in areas with high stress concentration and in the panel to further reduce damage. Cyclic load tests on a large-scale specimen of a single-bay, single-story, masonry-infilled RC frame were carried out. Based on those tests, the retrofitting scheme provided significant improvement, especially in terms of ductility enhancement. All retrofitted specimens clearly exhibited much better performances than those stipulated in building standards for masonry-infilled structures. A macro-scale computer model based on a diagonal-strut concept was also developed for predicting the global behavior of the retrofitted masonry-infilled frames. This proposed model was effectively used to evaluate the global responses of the test specimens with acceptable accuracy, especially in terms of strength, stiffness and damage condition.
