This paper presents a new strengthening method of underground box structures against seismic loads for anti-seismic capacity improvement. A threaded steel member with pressure devices(so called 'I-bracing pressure system') is used to improve seismic capacity of the RC box structure. The I-bracing pressure system is fixed the corner of opening after chemical anchor was installed by drilling hole on the box structure. The structural performance was evaluated analytically. Two bracing types of strengthening methods were used; conventional bracing method and improved I-bracing pressure system. For the performance evaluation, seismic analyses were performed on moment and shear resisting structures with and without I-bracing pressure system. Numerical results confirmed that the proposed I-bracing pressure system can enhance the seismic capacity of the underground RC box structures.

Previous research has shown that steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are efficient lateral force-resisting systems against both wind and seismic loads. A properly designed SPSW can have high initial stiffness, strength, and energy absorption capacity as well as superior ductility. SPSWs have been commonly designed with unstiffened and stiffened infill plates based on economical and performance considerations. Recent introduction and application of corrugated plates with advantageous structural features has motivated the researchers to consider the employment of such elements in stiffened SPSWs with the aim of lowering the high construction cost of such high-performing systems. On this basis, this paper presents results from a numerical investigation of the hysteretic performance of SPSWs with trapezoidally corrugated infill plates. Finite element cyclic analyses are conducted on a series of flat- and corrugated-web SPSWs to examine the effects of web-plate thickness, corrugation angle, and number of corrugation half-waves on the hysteretic performance of such structural systems. Results of the parametric studies are indicative of effectiveness of increasing of the three aforementioned web-plate geometrical and corrugation parameters in improving the cyclic response and energy absorption capacity of SPSWs with trapezoidally corrugated infill plates. Increasing of the web-plate thickness and number of corrugation half-waves are found to be the most and the least effective in adjusting the hysteretic performance of such promising lateral force-resisting systems, respectively. Findings of this study also show that optimal selection of the web-plate thickness, corrugation angle, and number of corrugation half-waves along with proper design of the boundary frame members can result in high stiffness, strength, and cyclic performances of such corrugated-web SPSWs.

Seismic performance evaluation of shear wall is essential as it is the major lateral load resisting member of a structure. The ultimate load and ultimate drift of the shear wall are the two most important parameters which need to be assessed experimentally and verified analytically. This paper comprises the results of monotonic tests, quasi-static cyclic tests and shake-table tests carried out on a midrise shear wall. The shear wall considered for the study is 1:5 scaled model of the shear wall of the internal structure of a reactor building. The analytical simulation of these tests is carried out using micro and macro modeling of the shear wall. This paper mainly consists of modification in the hysteretic macro model, developed for RC structural walls by Lestuzzi and Badoux in 2003. This modification is made by considering the stiffness degradation effect observed from the tests carried out and this modified model is then used for nonlinear dynamic analysis of the shear wall. The outcome of the paper gives the variation of the capacity, the failure patterns and the performance levels of the shear walls in all three types of tests. The change in the stiffness and the damping of the wall due to increased damage and cracking when subjected to seismic excitation is also highlighted in the paper.

본 논문은 탄소 FRP 판을 이용한 철근 콘크리트 보의 휨 보강효과와 거동에 대한 연구이다. 본 연구에서의 실험인자로는 휨보강 탄소 FRP 판의 부착길이와 탄소 FRP 쉬트의 복부정착 길이이다. 시험보는 탄소 FRP 판으로 인장면에 부착하여 휨 보강하고 FRP 판을 탄소 FRP 쉬트로 복부에 정착하였다. 일반적으로 복부정착이 없는 휨 보강된 보들의 파괴형태는 횡방향 주철 근을 따라 발생한 콘크리트 덮개 박리파괴를 나타내었다. 반면, 탄소 FRP 쉬트로 복부 정착된 휨 보강 보들은 CFRP 파단파괴 후 콘크리트 경계면 전단 박리파괴를 나타내었다. 보강된 보들의 극한하중과 극한처짐은 FRP 판의 휨 부착길이의 증가에 따라 증가하였다. 또한, 휨 보강된 보들은 FRP 쉬트의 복부정착 길이의 증가에 따라 극한하중과 극한처짐 값이 증가하였다. 특히, 복부 정착한 보들은 최대 극한하중에 도달한 후에도 상당한 극한하중 지지능력을 상당한 극한 처짐 시까지 유지하였다. 시험보의 길이에 걸친 FRP 판의 변형률 분포는 휨 모멘트도의 모양과 거의 유사하여 전단지간에서 일정한 전단응력 분포를 가정할 수 있었다. 전지간을 휨 보강한 보에 있어서는 콘크리트와 FRP 쉬트에 의한 경계면에서의 극한전단 저항강도는 복부정착 길이가 늘어남에 따라 증가하였다. 전단 저항강도 중에서 본 실험에서 사용한 복부 정착 FRP 쉬트도 일부의 전단 저항강도를 부담하였다.

본 논문에서는 강판벽이 설치된 골조 구조물의 연쇄붕괴 거동을 비선형 정적 pushdown 해석을 이용하여 평가하였다. 해석모델은 중력하중에 대해서 설계된 2층 2경간 철골구조물이며, 중앙 기둥을 제거하고 하중을 서서히 증가시키며 하중-변위 관계를 구하였다. 구조물의 전체적인 거동뿐만 아니라 부분적인 응력과 변형을 파악하기 위하여 ABAQUS를 이용한 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 해석을 통해서 구조물의 경간 길이 및 설치된 강판의 두께의 변화에 따른 연쇄붕괴 거동을 평가하였으며, 샛기둥을 이용하여 강판을 분할하고 분할된 강판의 위치에 따른 연쇄붕괴 성능의 변화를 관찰하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 경간의 길이가 증가할수록 연쇄붕괴를 방지하기 위하여 요구되는 강판의 두께 또한 증가하며, 분할된 강판의 수가 증가할수록 연쇄붕괴에 대한 저항성능이 약간 증가하지만 그 영향은 그리 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 개구부로 인하여 일부 경간에만 강판이 설치된 경우에도 연쇄붕괴 저항성능이 어느 정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

국외적으로 고강도 재료에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 반면 국내에서는 고강도 재료에 대한 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 일반적으로 RC 보의 전단 저항은 보강근의 전단 저항 보강근의 양($p_w$), 항복 강도($f_{wy}$)에 지배적인 영향($p_wf_{wy}$)을 받는다. 따라서 고강도 전단 보강을 사용하는 것으로 전단 보강근의 양을 저감시키는 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구는 고강도 보강근과 보통 강도 비 폐쇄형 횡 보강근의 혼용을 통한 전단 보강근의 양을 줄여 시공 능률향상과 부착성능 향상을 유도하여 부재내력을 증진하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다.

A large number of structure in the world were build with poor seismic details, with or without any lateral load resisting system like concentrically braced frames and steel plate shear walls. These structures can reveal deteriorating hysteretic behaviors with stiffness and strength degradation. Therefore, seismic retrofitting of such structures for drift control has vital importance. In this study a retrofit methodology has been developed, which involves diagonal bracing of steel frames with different cable arrangements. In the experimental and numerical program 5 different lateral load resisting system were tested and results compared with each other. The results indicated that multi-cable arrangements suggested in this study showed stable ductile behavior without any sudden decrease in strength. Due to the usage of more than one diagonal cable, fracture of any cable did not significantly affect the overall strength and deformation capacity of the system. In cable braced systems damages concentrated in the boundary zones of the cables and beams. That is why boundary zone must have enough stiffness and strength to resist tension field action of cables.

In regions of high shear forces in composite bridges, headed stud shear connectors need to be arranged with a small spacing in order to satisfy the design requirement of resisting the high interface shear force present at this location. Despite this, studies related to groups of headed studs are somewhat rare. This paper presents an investigation of the static behaviour of grouped stud shear connectors in high-strength concrete. Descriptions are given of five push-out test specimens with different arrangements of the studs that were fabricated and tested, and the failure modes, load-slip response, ultimate load capacities and related slip values that were obtained are reported. It is found that the load-slip equation given by some researchers based on a single stud shear connector in normal strength concrete do not apply to grouped stud shear connectors in high-strength concrete, and an algebraic load-slip expression is proposed based on the test results. Comparisons between the test results and the formulae provided by some national codes show that the equations for the ultimate capacity provided in these codes are conservative when used for connectors in high-strength concrete. A reduction coefficient is proposed to take into account the effect of the studs being in a group.

The composite systems, consisting of R/C Columns-Steel Beams, are reasonable structures because of their constructional and economical advantages, workability and so on. But, it is difficult to apply the composite systems to actual design due to material dissimilarity and complicate stress flow in the connection. This study aims to propose the hybrid beam-column connection system with structural tee and through experimental research make clear the shear and moment resistance capacity and stress transfer mechanism.

Successive ground motions having short time intervals have occurred in many earthquakes so far. It is necessary to investigate the effects of this phenomenon on different types of structures and to take these effects into consideration while designing or retrofitting structures. The effects of seismic sequences on the structures with combined reinforced concrete shear wall and moment resisting frame system have not been investigated in details yet. This paper has tried to analyse the seismic performance of structures with such structural systems subjected to mainshock-aftershock sequences. The effects of the seismic sequences on the investigated models are evaluated by strong measures such as IDA capacity and fragility and vulnerability curves. The results of this study show that the seismic sequences have a significant effect on the investigated models, which necessitates considering this effect on designing, retrofitting, decision making, and taking precautions.
