An experimental study is needed a reinforcing method for seismic load to apply for RC structures because a lot of earthquakes have frequently happened in the world and those also collapsed infrastructures or damaged human lives. The reinforcing effect of PolyUrea (PU) appeared to be excellent under blast and impact about RC structures. In this study, Stiff Type PolyUrea (STPU) had developed by manipulating the ratio of the components of prepolymer and hardener of PU. And the durability performance evaluation of STPU for deterioration and chemical resistance has been performed. Acid environmental exposure test and ultraviolet (UV) exposure test have been performed as the durability performance evaluation for STPU. Concrete carbonation exposure test and freezing and thawing test for concrete coated with STPU have been performed. The experimental result showed that STPU has high resisting capacity and durability in all tests. Therefore, STPU would be used as seismic reinforcement materials.

Experimental studies for the laminated elastomeric bearing and the lead-rubber bearing, those are often used to improve the seismic capacity of the structures recently, are conducted to evaluate the seismic capacity of the bearings. The shear stiffness of the bearings decreases as the shear strain amplitude or the constant axial load level increases, but not sensitive to the strain rates effect. Bearings are strong for the axial compression but weak for the axial tension.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of Response modification factors (R-factor) in 3-, 9- and 20- story steel Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) buildings. Each structure was designed using a R-factor of 8, as tabulated in the 2000 International Building Code provision (IBC 2000) and Korea Building Code (KBC) 2008. In order to evaluate the maximum and minimum performance expected for such structures, an upper bound and lower bound design were adopted for each model. Next, each analytical model was designed using different R-factors (8, 9, 10, 11, 12) and four different structural periods with the original fundamental period. For a detailed case study, a total of 150 analytical models were subjected to 20 ground motions representing a hazard level with a 2% probability of being exceeded in 50 years. In order to evaluate the performance of the structures, static push-over and non-linear time history analysis (NTHA) were performed, and displacement ductility demand was investigated to consider the ductility capacity of the structures. The results show that the dynamic behaviors for the 3- and 9-story buildings are relatively stable and conservative, while the 20-story buildings show a large displacement ductility demand due to dynamic instability factors. (e.g. P-delta effect and high mode effect)

Improving the earthquake resistance of buildings through seismic retrofitting using steel braces can result in brittle failure at the connection between the brace and the building, as well as buckling failure of the braces. This paper proposes a new seismic retrofit methodology combined with glass fiber sheet (GFS) and non-compression X-brace system using carbon fiber (CFXB) for reinforced concrete buildings damaged in earthquakes. The GFS is used to improve the ductility of columns damaged in earthquake. The CFXB consists of carbon fiber bracing and anchors, to replace the conventional steel bracing and bolt connection. This paper reports the seismic resistance of a reinforced concrete frame strengthened using the GFS-CFXB system. Cyclic loading tests were carried out, and the hysteresis of the lateral load-drift relations as well as ductility capacities were investigated. Carbon fiber is less rigid than the conventional materials used for seismic retrofitting, resulting in some significant advantages: the strength of the structure increased markedly with the use of CF X-bracing, and no buckling failure of the bracing was observed.

The spatial patterns and characteristics of these sequential earthquakes and ground motions induced by the earthquakes are examined by contours of peak ground velocity (PGV) and geometric mean peak ground velocity (GMPGV) using both ordinary kriging in geographical information system (GIS) and data, the records obtained from strong motion stations, acquired after recent sequential earthquakes in Canterbury, New Zealand (NZ). The performance of underground water pipeline system is examined by using data acquired after earthquakes. The spatial distribution of GMPGV is superimposed on water pipeline repairs throughout the water distribution system in areas affected principally by transient ground motion using GIS and then water pipeline repair rates, expressed as repairs/km, for different types of pipe are evaluated relative to the estimated GMPGV outside liquefaction areas. The earthquake performance of underground water pipeline systems is summarized in this study.

This study purposes to cross-validate its performance by applying the optimal seismic vulnerability assessment model based on previous studies conducted in Gyeongju to other regions. The test area was Pohang City, the occurrence site for the 2017 Pohang Earthquake, and the dataset was built the same influencing factors and earthquake-damaged buildings as in the previous studies. The validation dataset was built via random sampling, and the prediction accuracy was derived by applying it to a model based on a random forest (RF) of Gyeongju. The accuracy of the model success and prediction in Gyeongju was 100% and 94.9%, respectively, and as a result of confirming the prediction accuracy by applying the Pohang validation dataset, it appeared as 70.4%.

The purpose of this study is to discuss how strength and ductility of each system in low-rise reinforced concrete buildings composed of extremely brittle, shear and flexural failure lateral-load resisting systems have influence on seismic capacities of the overall system, which is based on nonlinear seismic response analyses of single-degree-of-freedom structural systems. In order to simulate the triple lateral-load resisting system, structures are idealized as a parallel combination of two modified origin-oriented hysteretic models and a degrading trilinear hysteretic model that fail primarily in extremely brittle, shear and flexure, respectively. Stiffness properties of three models are varied in terms of story shear coefficients, and structures are subjected to various ground motion components. By analyzing these systems, interaction curves of demand strengths of the triple system for various levels of ductility factors are finally derived for practical purposes. The result indicates that demand strength levels derived can be used as a basic information for seismic evaluation and design criteria of low-rise reinforced concrete buildings having the triple lateral-load resisting system.

최근 사회기반 시설물들의 대형화, 고밀도화가 됨에 따라 재해 재난대비에 대한 관심 또한 높아지고 있다. 특히, 화재는 우리 주변에서 지속적으로 발생하는 재난이다. 한편, 지진과 같은 경우에는 중소규모가 한반도내에서 빈번하게 발생하고 있지만 직접적으로 피해를 경험 한 적이 없어, 적극적으로 대비해야하는 재해로는 아직 인식하고 있지 못한다고 할 수 있다. 재난, 재해에 대한 연구는 과거의 피해를 기준으로 미래에 대한 대책을 해결책으로 제시하는 방식으로 많은 연구자들에 의해서 지속적으로 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리사회에 발생 가능한 재난에 대해서 서로 다른 인식 수준을 가지고 있는 지진과 화재의 재난에 대한 시민인식차이를 실증적으로 검토하였다. 화재 및 지진에 대한 설문조사를 실시하고 결과 분석을 통해 나타나는 재난시의 인간행동심리를 Facet이론을 이용하여 범위를 선정하고 분석하였다. 분석방법으로는 통합적 분석 방법으로 각 연령대별로 분류하여 분석하였다. 연령대별로 습득한 지식 및 교육환경 배경이 차이가 있을 것이라는 가정 아래 연령대별 분류를 하였다. 설문조사결과를 바탕으로 Facet이론에 근거하여 분석한 결과, 화재발생시의 통합적 분석의 경우는 [MATTER], [SPACE], [ENERGY]등이 다수 나타났고 지진 발생 시에는 통합적으로 [SPACE], [ENERGY]가 다수 나타났다. 따라서, 지진에 대한 국가적으로 교육시스템을 갖추고 개인적인 지진발생시 행동상황을 숙지하고 연습하는 것이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 지진과 화재시의 인간행동심리를 비교한 결과, 화재는 우리나라에서 가장 빈번하게 발생하는 재해이기 때문에 비교적 국가적으로나 개인적으로 대비를 하고 있다는 것을 실증적으로 나타내었다. 화재로 인한 재난은 국가적으로 끊임없이 교육(인식전환)을 실시하고 있음에도 불구하고 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 하지만 지진과 비교해 인위적 과실로 인한 재난임에도 불구하고 사전에 화재발생시 대처하는 행동숙지로 인해 많은 인적 및 재산적 피해를 줄일 수 있다. 최근 우리나라는 지진에 대해서는 건축물의 붕괴로 인한 피해방지에 중점을 두고 건축물의 내진성능에 대한 평가가 점진적으로 추진되고 있다. 하지만, 지진발생시 이와 같은 현재 방재정책과 더불어 국민 스스로 지진에 대한 발생가능성 및 예상위험에 대한 인식수준을 향상시킴으로서 국가적 재난을 효과적으로 대처할 필요가 있음을 실증적으로 나타내었다.
