To prevent or limit the damage caused by earthquakes on existing buildings, several retrofitting techniques are possible. In this work, an ultra high performance concrete based on sand dune has been formulated for use in the reinforcement of a multifunctional tower in the city of Skikda in Algeria. Tests on the formulated ultra high performance concrete are performed to determine its characteristics. A nonlinear dynamic analysis, based on the "Pushover" method was conducted. The analysis allowed an optimization of the width of reinforced concrete walls used in seismic strengthening. Two types of concrete are studied, the ordinary concrete and the ultra high performance concrete. Both alternatives are compared with the reinforcement with carbon fibers and by base isolation retrofit design.

Any revision of seismic codes usually demands a higher capacity from structural members, making existing structures unsafe particularly from strength considerations. Retrofitting of capacity deficient members is very suitable for tackling such situations. This paper presents an experimental study on different retrofitting measures adopted for strengthening a series of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Four identical RC beam specimens were casted, out of which three specimens were strengthened by different schemes (viz., bolted hot rolled flat, bolted cold-formed steel channel, and carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate, respectively) on their tension face and tested under four-point monotonic loading. This study focuses on the investigation of the flexural behaviour of these retrofitted beams, observed in terms of strength and stiffness. It was concluded that all retrofitting measures improved the structural performance of these beams. However, the cost involved with each strengthening mode was proportional to the improvement in the performance achieved.

The Hengda Group super high-rise building in Jinan City uses the frame-core tube structural system. With a height of 238.3 m, it is above the B-level height limit of 150 m for buildings within 7-magnitude seismic fortification zones. Therefore, it is necessary to apply performance-based seismic design to this super high-rise building. In this study, response spectrum analysis and comparative analysis of the structure are conducted using two software applications. Moreover, elastic time-history analysis, seismic analysis under an intermediate earthquake, and elastic-plastic time-history analysis under rare earthquakes are performed. Based on the analysis results, corresponding strengthening measures are implemented at weaker structural locations, such as corners, wall ends connected to framed girders, and coupling beams connected to framed girders. The failure mode and failure zone of major stress components of the structure under rare earthquakes are analysed. The conclusions to this research demonstrate that weaker locations and important parts of the structure satisfy the requirements for elastic-plastic deformation in the event of rare earthquakes.

Recently, the frequency and magnitude of earthquakes are increasing worldwide. In Korea, the Gyeongju earthquake (2016) and the Pohang earthquake (2017) caused structural damage to many buildings. Since Korea's seismic design standards were revised to three or more stories in 2005, five-story buildings built before the revision are not designed to be earthquake-resistant. In this situation, if strong earthquake occurs in Korea, there will be great damage. To prevent this, seismic retrofit of buildings should be necessary. The seismic retrofit of classical method is mainly used to reduce the displacement generated in the structure by strengthening stiffness and strength. However, since this method increases the base shear force of the structure, it is difficult to apply it to buildings which have weak foundation. Therefore, in this study, we propose the damper system that reduces the response displacement of buildings and suppresses the increase of base shear force by using high damping rubber and steel. And the seismic performance of the damper system is verified through the experiment and the seismic analysis of the structure.

For the vibration control of earthquake-excited structures, a pivot-type displacement amplification damper system is proposed and its validity is investigated in this study. A rotational frame amplifies the stroke of the proposed damper system and it can absorb more vibrational energy compared to the conventional dampers of which strokes are not large. In order to prove the effectiveness of the system, time-history analyses are performed with a three story building modelled by a three dimensional frame and numerical results are compared with those for a conventional V-shape braced damper system. In addition, the seismic performances are investigated according to the changes of damper capacity and location.

비내진 상세를 갖는 노후된 철근콘크리트 골조의 내진보강을 위해 철근콘크리트 끼움벽 공법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 기존 콘크리트 골조에 끼움벽을 이용하여 보강하는 방법은 지진과 같은 횡력에 대하여 높은 강도를 확보할 수 있는 방법이다. 그러나, 기존의 끼움벽공법은 공사기간동안 이용자의 사용이 제한될 수 밖에 없으며, 접합부의 시공이 어렵고, 접합부의 합성성능을 확보하기 어려운 측면이 있다. 이 연구에서는 기존 끼움벽 공법의 단점을 개선하기 위하여 공장제작된 프리캐스트 콘크리트 벽체를 건물의 외부에서 압착하여 보강하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 공법을 검증하기 위하여 반복하중을 받는 총 4개의 1/3축소 실험체들을 제작하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 제안된 공법이 적용된 철근콘크리트 골조의 강도, 강성, 에너지 소산 능력이 크게 향상되는 것을 실험적으로 확인하였다.

이 연구의 목적은 필로티 건축물에서 아라미드 섬유시트의 연성보강 효과를 평가하는데에 있다. 필로티 구조물은 총 2개가 제작되었으며, 반복 횡하중 정적 실험으로 휨 거동을 평가하였다. 연성보강 효과는 횡하중-변위관계, 변위연성비, 일손상지수 및 비틀림 거동으로부터 검증되었다. 실험결과 기둥이 아라미드 섬유시트로 보강된 필로티 건축물은 최대하중 이후 기둥에서 효과적인 구속효과로 전단파괴 방지 및 비틀림이 최소화되었으며, 전반적으로 연성적인 거동을 보였다. 결과적으로 기둥이 아라미드 섬유시트로 보강된 필로티 건축물의 변위연성비 및 일손상지수는 보강되지 않은 필로티 건축물보다 각각 4.63배 및 42.81배 높았다.

In the present work a new friction device, with a set of single or double rotational friction flanges and a link element, is described and tested. The mechanism may be applied for the strengthening of existing r/c or steel buildings as well as in new constructed buildings. The device has selectable variable behavior in different levels of displacement and an interlock mechanism that is provided by the link element. The link element may be designed to lock at preselected level of displacement, offering in this way an extra safety reserve against strong earthquakes. A summary of the existing literature about other similar mechanisms is initially presented in this paper. The proposed mechanism is presented and described in details. Laboratory experiments are presented in detail and the resulted response that proves the efficiency of the mechanism at selectable levels of strength capacity is discussed. Drawings of the mechanism attached to a r/c frame with connection details are also included. Finally a dynamic analysis of two r/c frames, with and without the proposed mechanism attached, is performed and the resulted response is given. The main conclusion is that the proposed mechanism is a cheap and efficient devise for the improvement of the performance of new or existing framed buildings to seismic loads.

최근 빈번하게 발생하는 대규모의 지진으로 구조물의 내진보강에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 내진설계가 반영되지 않은 기둥의 취성파괴는 구조물 전체 붕괴를 유발하기 때문에 내진보강이 필수적이다. 기존에는 단면증설법, 강판보강법, 섬유보강법이 내진보강법으로 주로 이용되었다. 하지만 이 보강법들은 구조물의 물리적 손상과 넓은 작업공간, 오랜 시간이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 FRP 보강재의 보강 성능을 평가하였다. 대상 시험체는 학교건물을 실험실 여건에 맞춰 80% 축소하여 제작하였다. 보강재의 재료를 유리섬유와 알루미늄 다공판을 사용하여 보강재를 제작하였다. 평가 결과 두 종류의 보강재를 사용한 모두에서 시험체의 내진성능이 증가하였다.
