In the framework of the SPEAR (Seismic PErformance Assessment and Rehabilitation) research Project, an under-designed three storey RC frame structure, designed to sustain only gravity loads, was subjected, in three different configurations 'as-built', Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) retrofitted and rehabilitated by reinforced concrete (RC) jacketing, to a series of bi-directional pseudodynamic (PsD) tests under different values of peak ground acceleration (PGA) (from a minimum of 0.20g to a maximum of 0.30g). The seismic deficiencies exhibited by the 'as-built' structure after the test at PGA level of 0.20g were confirmed by a post - test assessment of the structural seismic capacity performed by a nonlinear static pushover analysis implemented on the structure lumped plasticity model. To improve the seismic performance of the 'as-built' structure', two rehabilitation interventions by using either FRP laminates or RC jacketing were designed. Assumptions for the analytical modeling, design criteria and calculation procedures along with local and global intervention measures and their installation details are herein presented and discussed. Nonlinear static pushover analyses for the assessment of the theoretical seismic capacity of the structure in each retrofitted configuration were performed and compared with the experimental outcomes.

본 연구에서는 기존 철근콘크리트 (R/C) 구조체와 내진보강 부재의 접합부의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 접합부에 탄성패드를 가지는 새로운 H형강 철골프레임 내부접합형 내진보강공법 (H-section Steel Frame with Elastic Pad, HSFEP)을 제안하였다. HSFEP 시스템은 필요 내진보강량 산정이 간편한 내력향상형 보강공법으로서, 전단파괴가 발생할 가능성이 매우 높은 비내진상세를 가지는 중·저층 R/C 건축물에 적합한 공법이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 HSFEP 내진보강공법의 유용성을 검증하기 위하여 비내진상세를 가지는 국내 R/C 건축물을 바탕으로 실물 2층 골조 실험체를 제작하여 유사동적실험을 수행하여 최대지진응답 하중 및 변위, 지진피해정도를 중심으로 내진보강효과를 검토하였다. 실험결과 본 연구에서 개발한 HSFEP 내부접합형 내진보강법은 접합부성능이 개선되었으며, 효과적으로 수평극한내력을 증진시킴과 동시에 대지진 입력 시에도 지진응답변위를 매우 효과적으로 억제시켰다.

Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) of a stacked wood shear wall retrofitted with a rate-dependent seismic energy dissipation device (viscous damper) was conducted at the newly constructed Structural Engineering Laboratory at the University of Alabama. This paper describes the implementation process of the RTHS focusing on the controller scheme development. An incremental approach was adopted starting from a controller for the conventional slow pseudodynamic hybrid simulation and evolving to the one applicable for RTHS. Both benchmark-scale and full-scale tests are discussed to provide a roadmap for future RTHS implementation at different laboratories and/or on different structural systems. The developed RTHS controller was applied to study the effect of a rate-dependent energy dissipation device on the seismic performance of a multi-story wood shear wall system. The test specimen, setup, program and results are presented with emphasis given to inter-story drift response. At 100% DBE the RTHS showed that the multi-story shear wall with the damper had 32% less inter-story drift and was noticeably less damaged than its un-damped specimen counterpart.
