In order to analyze the vibration control effect of viscous damper in the concrete archaized buildings with lintel-column joints under seismic action, 3 specimens were tested under dynamic excitation. Two specimens with viscous damper were defined as the controlled component and one specimen without viscous damper was specified as the non-controlled component. The loading process and failure patterns were obtained from the test results. The failure characteristics, skeleton curves and mechanical behavior such as the load-displacement hysteretic loops, load carrying capacity, degradation of strength and rigidity, ductility and energy dissipation of the joints were analyzed. The results indicate that the load-bearing capacity of the controlled component is significantly higher than that of the non-controlled component. The former component has an average increase of 27.4% in yield load and 22.4% in ultimate load, respectively. Meanwhile, the performance of displacement ductility and the ability of energy dissipation for the controlled component are superior to those of the non-controlled component as well. Compared with non-controlled component, equivalent viscous damping coefficients are improved by 27.3%-30.8%, the average increase is 29.0% at ultimate load for controlled component. All these results reflect that the seismic performance of the controlled component is significantly better than that of the non-controlled component. These researches are helpful for practical application of viscous damper in the concrete archaizing buildings with lintel-column joints.

Generally the non-bearing walls in apartment buildings in Korea are not considered as a lateral force resisting members for the design consideration. This engineering practice caused large crack damages and brittle fractures of the non-bearing walls when subjected to Pohang earthquakes in 2017 since those have not been designed for seismic loading. In this study, finite element analysis was conducted for slot type non-bearing wall connection system to reduce damages and concentrate damages to the designated damping device through separation from the structural wall members. Steel plate and dowel bar systems designed for the dissipation of seismic energies were modeled and analyzed to investigate the damage reductions. Finally, the test result and the analysis result were compared and verified.

Most of the existing seismic codes for RC buildings consider only a scenario earthquake for analysis, often characterized by the response spectrum at the specified location. However, any real earthquake event often involves occurrences of multiple earthquakes within a few hours or days, possessing similar or even higher energy than the first earthquake. This critically impairs the rehabilitation measures thereby resulting in the accumulation of structural damages for subsequent earthquakes after the first earthquake. Also, the existing seismic provisions account for the non-linear response of an RC building frame implicitly by specifying a constant response modification factor (R) in a linear elastic design. However, the 'R' specified does not address the changes in structural configurations of RC moment-resisting frames (RC MRFs) viz., building height, number of bays present, bay width, irregularities arising out of mass and stiffness changes, etc. resulting in changed dynamic characteristics of the structural system. Hence, there is an imperative need to assess the seismic performance under sequential earthquake ground motions, considering the adequacy of code-specified 'R' in the representation of dynamic characteristics of RC buildings. Therefore, the present research is focused on the evaluation of the non-linear response of medium-rise 3D RC MRFs with and without vertical irregularities under bi-directional sequential earthquake ground motions using non-linear dynamic analysis. It is evident from the results that collapse probability increases, and 'R' reduces significantly for various RC MRFs subjected to sequential earthquakes, pronouncing the vulnerability and inadequacy of estimation of design base shear by code-specified 'R' under sequential earthquakes.

구조물의 안정성에 대한 사회적 요구는 이를 충족시키기 위한 기술발전으로 이어지게 되었고, 지각구조를 이해하기 위해 개발된 탄성파기법도 구조물의 건전성을 평가하는 비파괴 기법으로 자리매김하게 되었다. 비파괴 탄성파기법의 핵심은 측정대상 매질의 탄성파 속도를 측정하는 것으로, 탄성파의 전파를 측정하는 센서를 필수적으로 사용하여야 한다. 기존의 탄성파기법은 접촉식 센서를 사용하기 때문에 이동중 연속시험이 불가능한 문제점이 있었고, 탄성파 시험의 효율성이 실용적 요구조건에 부합하지 못하는 한계성이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 비접촉식 센서의 일종인 보급형 마이크로폰을 센서로 활용하여 기존 탄성파 시험의 문제점을 극복하고자 하는 연구를 수행하였다. 다짐지반의 실시간 다짐품질 확인, 콘크리트 구조물의 재료강성 및 내부결함의 확인 등을 위한 표면파 시험과 공진시험 등을 마이크로폰 활용대상으로 설정하였고, 마이크로폰센서의 영향인자 연구, 실구조물에 대한 현장시험 등을 수행하였다. 이를 통하여 마이크로폰 센서의 신뢰성과 효율성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 최적의 마이크로폰 활용방안을 제안하였다.

국내에서는 1988년부터 내진 규준이 시행되었으며, 따라서 그 이전에 지어진 저층 철근콘크리트 건물들은 내진 규준이 적용되지 않고 단지 축하중만을 고려하여 설계되었다. 그러므로 약한 지진이 발생하여도 이러한 건물들은 심한 피해를 입을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는, 내진 규준이 시행되기 이전에 지어진 비내진 저층 철근콘크리트 모멘트 저항 골조의 지진 발생시 거동과 피해를 알아보기 위하여, 실제 존재하는 비내진 건물 중 3층 철근콘크리트 라멘조 공공청사 건물의 외부 적합부를 교차보가 있는 것과 없는 것의 2종류를 1/2의 실물크기로 제작하고, 횡방향 변위 제어로 반복하중을 가하여 실험을 수행하였다. 비내진 접합부의 가장 큰 특징은 적합부내의 횡보강근이 없다는 것이다. 실험을 통하여 균열의 형태, 강도${\cdot}$강성의 저하, 에너지 소산 그리고 기둥과 보 부재의 철근 미끄러짐을 조사하였다. 국내에서 규정하고 있는 최대지반가속도인 0.12g크기의 횡방향 하중을 가력하였을 경우에는 균열이 발생하지 않았으나, 횡방향 하중을 0.12g이상으로 증가할수록 교차보가 없는 외부접합부에서 전단균열이 발생하였다.

Knowledge of seismic earth pressure against rigid retaining wall is very important. Mononobe-Okabe method is commonly used, which considers pseudo-static approach. In this paper, the pseudo-dynamic method is used to compute the distribution of seismic earth pressure on a rigid cantilever retaining wall supporting dry cohesionless backfill. Planar rupture surface is considered in the analysis. Effect of various parameters like wall friction angle, soil friction angle, shear wave velocity, primary wave velocity, horizontal and vertical seismic accelerations on seismic earth pressure have been studied. Results are presented in terms of tabular and graphical non-dimensional form.

In this study, the seismic fragility analysis of a base isolated condensate storage tank installed in the nuclear power plant. The condensate storage tank is safety related structure in a nuclear power plant. The failure of this tank affect significantly to the core damage frequency of the nuclear power plants. The seismic analysis of the liquid storage tank was performed by the simple calculation method and the dynamic time storage analysis method. The convective and impulsive fluid mass is modeled as added masses proposed by several researchers. To evaluate the effectiveness of the isolation system, the comparison of HCLPF and core damage frequencies in non-isolated and isolated cases are carried out. It can be found from the results that the seismic isolation system increases the seismic capacity of a condensate storage tank and decreases the core damage frequency significantly.

To substantiate the application of LRB(Laminated Rubber Bearing) to the seismic isolation system, it is necessary to develop a seismic analysis method considering the non-linear behavior of LRBs, which may significantly affect the seismic responses. In this paper, seismic analyses and shaking table tests are carried out for a seismically isolated structure using four LRBs. The parameter equations of seismic isolation frequency are obtained from the shaking table tests and the quasi-static tests of LRB itself to investigate the effects of the LRB characteristics in the prediction of maximum peak acceleration responses by analysis. From the comparison of the maximum peak acceleration responses obtained from numerical analyses and experiments, it is verified that the horizontal stiffness variations of LRB should be carefully considered in seismic analysis to obtain more accurate results.

Today, a great effort to develop PBSD procedure to be utilized in Korea is given by domestic structural engineers, academics, and governmental organizations. After Great East Japan Earthquake (2011) took place, lots of clients in Korea became to concern of their buildings so that requests of seismic performance evaluation and seismic rehabilitation for existing buildings have been gradually increased. Such interests in seismic events initiated a rapid development of a series of guidelines for seismic performance evaluation and seismic performance enhancement. For new buildings, however, design guidelines for PBSD are yet well prepared in Korea and prescriptive design methods are dominant design procedure still. Herein, seismicity demands used in seismic performance evaluation and some important design parameters in NLRH are introduced. Some project examples for seismic performance evaluation and rehabilitation applying passive energy dissipation devices are also described in the latter part of paper.
