This paper deals with the numerical model of a bracing-friction damper system and its deployment using the optimal slip load distribution for the seismic retrofitting of a damaged building. The Slotted Bolted Connection (SBC) type friction damper system was tested to investigate its energy dissipation characteristic. Test results coincided with the numerical ones using the conventional model of a bracing-friction damper system. The placement of this device was numerically explored to apply it to the assumed damaged-building and to evaluate its efficiency. It was found by distributing the slip load that minimizes the given performance indicies based on structural response. Numerical results for the damaged building retrofitted with this slip load distribution showed that the seismic design of the bracing-friction damper system under consideration is effective for the structural response reduction.

The friction damper can be used for improving the seismic resistance of existing buildings. The damper is often installed in bracing members. The energy dissipation capacity of the damping systems depends on the type of the structure, the configuration of the bracing members, and the property of dampers. In Korea, there are numerous low- to mid-rise reinforced concrete moment frames that were constructed considering only gravity loads. Those frames may be vulnerable for future earthquakes. To resolve the problem, this study developed a toggle bracing system with a high density friction damper. To investigate the improvement of reinforced concrete frames after retrofit using the developed damped system, experimental tests were conducted on frame specimens with and without the damped system. The results showed that the maximum strength, initial stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of the framed with the damped system were much larger than those of the frame without the damped system.

본 연구는 지진에 대한 구조물의 손상을 최소화 하기 위하여 슬립 저항력을 활용한 새로운 형태의 마찰 댐퍼형 가새 시스템의 설계와 개발을 주로 다루고자 한다. 가새 부재 내에서 전단력에 의한 마찰 거동으로 상당량의 에너지를 수동적으로 소산하기 위하여 플레이트 전단 이음부 위에 슬롯 형태의 볼트 구멍을 설치한다. 여기에 전단 마찰 거동으로 인해 발생되는 잔류변형을 줄이고자 상온에서 원형복원이 가능한 초탄성 형상합금 와이어를 꼬아서 만든 연선을 설치하여 댐퍼 시스템 내에 복원성을 증진 시켰다. 기존에 주로 사용된 수동적인 변위 제어 장치와 비교하여 본 연구에서 다루고자 하는 자동복원이 가능한 마찰 댐퍼형 가새 시스템은 중심 가새 프레임 구조물에 손쉽게 설치하여 지진발생 후에 구조물에 발생하는 층간 잔류변위를 최소화하여 유지 보수에 소모되는 비용의 대폭적인 절감을 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 자동복원이 가능한 마찰 댐퍼형 가새 시스템의 역학적인 거동 메커니즘을 살펴보고 실험값으로 보정되어 신뢰성을 확보한 스프링 모델을 사용하여 해석을 실시하였다. 시스템에 다양한 설계 변수를 적용하여 복원성과 에너지 소산 능력 측면에서 제안된 댐퍼의 성능 동향을 분석을 하고 최적의 설계 방식을 제안하고자 한다. 마지막으로 자동복원이 가능한 마찰 댐퍼를 중심 가새 프레임 구조물에 설치하여 비선형 동적 해석을 실시하고 기존의 시스템과 비교하여 성능적인 우수성을 입증하고자 한다.

The tied braced frame (TBF) system was developed to achieve uniform seismic inelastic demand along the height of multi-storey eccentrically braced steel frames. A modular tied braced frame (M-TBF) configuration has been recently proposed to reach the same objective while reducing the large axial force demand imposed on the vertical tie members connecting the link beams together in TBFs. M-TBFs may however experience variations in storey drifts at levels where the ties have been removed to form the modules. In this paper, the possibility of reducing the discontinuity in displacement response of a 16-storey M-TBF structure by introducing energy dissipating (ED) devices between the modules is examined. Two M-TBF configurations are investigated: an M-TBF with two 8-storey modules and an M-TBF with four 4-storey modules. Three types of ED devices are studied: friction dampers (FD), buckling restrained bracing (BRB) members and self-centering energy dissipative (SCED) members. The ED devices were sized such that no additional force demand was imposed on the discontinuous tie members. Nonlinear response history analysis showed that all three ED systems can be used to reduce discontinuities in storey drifts of M-TBFs. The BRB members experienced the smallest peak deformations whereas minimum residual deformations were obtained with the SCED devices.
