Five strengthened columns and an unstrengthened column were tested under constant axial load and cyclic lateral loads to examine the seismic performance of the unbounded strengthening procedure using wire ropes and T-plates. Main variables considered were the presence of mortar cover for strengthening steel element and anchorage method of T-plate. Test results clearly showed that T-plates having a proper anchorage contribute to transfer of applied moment as well as enhancement of ductility of reinforced concrete columns. However, T-plate not anchored fully into a column base can seldom transfer the externally applied moment, though it highly improves the ductility of column. The presence of mortar cover for strengthening steel elements is significantly effective in enhancing the initial stiffness and flexural capacity of the strengthened columns, but has an adversely effect on enhancing the ductility. The ultimate moment strength predicted from the extended section laminae method in better agreement with test results compared with predictions obtained using stress black specified in ACI 318-05.

As increasing number of large-size earthquake around Korean peninsula, many interests have been focused to the earthquake strengthening of existing structures. The brittle fracture of Non-seismic designed columns lead to full collapse of the building. In the past, cross-sectional extension method, a steel plate reinforcing method and fiver-reinforced method are applied to Seismic Rehabilitation Technique mainly. However, the reinforcement methods have drawbacks that induce physical damage to structures, large space, long duration time. So, in this study, performance evaluation of previously developed FRP seismic reinforcement which do not induce physical damage and short duration time was enforced. The specimens were constructed with 80% downscale. FRP seismic reinforcement are manufactured of glass fiber or aluminum plate with holes and glass fiber. From the experiment results, seismic performance of specimens which reinforced with FRP seismic reinforcement were increased.

Torsional behavior due to the plane irregularities of the piloti building can cause excessive story drift in the torsionally outermost column, which can lead to shear failure of the column. As a seismic retrofit method that can control the torsional behavior of the piloti building, the expansion of RC wall, steel frame or steel brace may be used, but such methods may hinder the openness of the piloti floor. Therefore, in this study, linear dynamic analysis and nonlinear static analysis for piloti buildings retrofitted by knee brace were performed, and seismic performance evaluation and torsion control effect of knee brace were analyzed. The results showed that the shear force of the column increased when the piloti building retrofitted by knee brace, but it was effective in controlling the torsional deformation. In case of retrofit between knee brace and column by 30°, the shear force of the column increased less than that of 60°, and the lateral displacement of column was decreased in the order of □, ◯ and Ｈ in cross-section.

In this study, a procedure of performance-based design for the seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete columns strengthened by steel jackets has been presented. In order to predict the target displacement of retrofitted columns, a nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete columns retrofitted with steel jackets has been developed based on a segmental model with the fiber cross-sectional approach. The seismic displacement level of retrofitted columns is estimated both by the direct displacement-based design method and by the displacement coefficient method. In examples of seismic retrofitted columns, the current seismic retrofit procedure gives good results in improvements of displacement levels and displacement ductilities of retrofitted columns.

최근 철근 콘크리트 구조물의 지진하중 및 이와 유사한 진동하중에 대한 내진안전성 문제가 대두되어 이에 관한 모형공식체의 진동실험 및 실존구조물의 동적구조특성의 해석 등에 의한 내진성 향상을 위한 보강방법이 강구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 진동하중에 파괴되기 쉬룬 철근 콘크리트 보와 기둥이 상호 교차되는 죠인트 구역의 동적파괴거동을 확인하기 위하여 "L"형 철근 콘크리트 죠인트와 부재를 제작, 모의지진하중 조건하에서의 동적 응답특성을 구명하고자 반복하중에 따른 joint구역과 보 및 기둥의 동적파괴거동을 고찰하였다. 특히 내진구조물 설계에 주요 요소인 연성(m)이 0.5, 1.0, 3.0일 때 각각 3회씩 그리고 m=5.0일 때 부재가 완전히 파괴될 때까지 4회 반복하여 반복하중을 작용시키면서 이때의 부재의 극한강도 및 그 변형성능을 LVDT System을 사용하여 조사분석하였으며, 파괴성상은 물론 배근효과에 대하여도 이를 구명하고자 노력하였다. 본 연구 결과 무엇보다도 부재의 강성과 내력의 향상 및 신축만곡, 전단변형 등의 변형성능의 개선 그리고 보의 휨파괴에 대한 보강 및 joint구역의 전단보강은 내진구조물 설계를 위하여 중요 사항임을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 내진보강공법의 내진성능향상을 평가하기 위하여 진동대실험을 실시하였다. 실험 구조체는 비보강, 보강 구조체로 각각 실규모 크기의 구조체를 2개 제작하였다. 기둥 상, 중, 하부 및 보에 각각 Strain게이지, 가속도계를 설치한 후 설계펙트럼가속도 0.15g의 30~150%까지 가속도를 증가 시키면서 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 비 보강 구조체는 0.2g에서 최대 80cm균열이 발생하였으나 보강 구조체는 균열이 발생하지 않았다. Strain의 변화량에서는 비 보강이 보강보다 최대 1700%크게 나타났다. 가속도의 변화량은 비 보강이 176%크게 나타났다. 진동대 실험결과 본 내진보강공법이 내진성능향상에 지대한 영향을 주고 있음이 증명되었다.

In this paper, reinforced concrete columns test has been conducted under repeated lateral load reversals. The test columns have been reinforced with outside lateral confinement members in addition to transverse reinforcements. For this purpose, a strainless steel and a GFRP have been employed for the lateral confinement members. Primary parameters are types, thickness and spacing of the lateral confinement members. Experimental results reveal that columns reinforced with lateral confinement members exhibit improved ductility and energy dissipation capacity in comparison with those unreinforced. It is thus concluded that the present approach can be of a useful scheme for the seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete columns.

Columns are one of the most critical parts of a structural system subjected to earthquake excitations. In this regard, extensive experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. Among them, many studies focused on the behavior of circular or square RC columns strengthened with CFRP or GFRP sheets. Since the cross-sectional shape affects confinement by FRP wrapping, its strengthening effect and final damage pattern may differ with shapes. In this study, a series of cyclic tests was conducted to investigate the seismic behavior of rectangular reinforced concrete columns strengthened with basalt-based fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) sheets and composite fiber panels. The result shows that the effect of strengthening is not significant, and it implies a little increase of confinement by BFRP sheets and composite fiber panels, which is considered partly due to the cross-sectional shape of the columns.
