Despite the considerable lateral stiffness and strength of the Concentrically Braced Frame (CBF), it suffers from low ductility and low seismic dissipating energy capacity. The buckling of the diagonal members of the CBF systems under cyclic loading ended up to the shortcoming against seismic loading. Comprehensive researches have been performing to achieve helpful approaches to prevent the buckling of the diagonal member. Among the recommended ideas, metallic damper revealed a better success than other ideas to enhance the behavior of CBFs. While metallic dampers improve the behavior of the CBF system, they increase constructional costs. Therefore, in this paper, a new steel damper with flexural mechanism is proposed, which is investigated experimentally and numerically. Also, a parametrical revision was carried out to evaluate the effect of thickness, slenderness ratio, angle of the main plate, and height of the main plates on the proposed damper. For the parametrical study, 45 finite element models were analyzed and considered. Experimental results, as well as the numerical results, indicated that the proposed damper enjoys a stable hysteresis loop without any degradation up to a high rotation equal to around 31% that is significantly considerable. Moreover, it showed a suitable performance in case of ductility and energy dissipating. Besides, the necessary formulas to design the damper, the required relations were proposed to design the elements outside the damper to ensure the damper acts as a ductile fuse.

최근에 신축 건물이나 기존 건물의 내진보강을 위해서 수동제진장치의 일종인 에너지소산형 제진장치의 사용이 매우 증가하고 있다. 제진장치는 선진국을 중심으로 개발되어 왔고 제한적으로 사용해 오고 있었지만, 최근에는 다소 저렴한 장치개발을 통하여 강진지역의 개발도상국으로도 그 사용이 확대되고 있다. 본 연구는 기존 또는 신축 건물의 내진보강을 위한 캔틸레버타입 강재댐퍼를 개발하고 제안하였다. 댐퍼에 대한 반복가력 실험을 바탕으로 이력거동 및 에너지소산능력을 조사하였다. 실험결과는 제진장치가 안정된 이력특성을 나타내고 있으며 큰 에너지소산능력을 갖고 있음을 보여준다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 댐퍼에 대한 간단한 하중-변위 이력모델을 제안하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 I형 스트럿 및 S형 스트럿 강재댐퍼의 변위 및 속도의존성을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 12개의 강재댐퍼를 제작하여 의존성 평가를 실시하였으며, 시험 변수는 스트럿 형상, 목표 변위 및 속도이다. 의존성 시험에 의한 반복횟수 평가결과, ASCE 7-10에서 규정한 최소 반복횟수 5회를 충분히 상회하는 것으로 평가되었다. 변위의존성 평가결과, 큰 목표변위 (50mm)의 반복횟수 및 누적에너지소산능력은 적은 목표변위 (25mm)에 비하여 감소하였다. 또한 짧은 목표변위보다 큰 항복강도 및 조기파단을 나타내었다. 속도의존성 평가에서는 빠른 목표속도 (60mm/sec)의 반복횟수 및 누적에너지소산능력이 느린 목표속도 (40mm/sec)에 비하여 감소하였다. 결과적으로 강재댐퍼의 기본 물성, 의존성 평가, 누적에너지소산능력 평가결과, S형 스트럿을 가지는 강재댐퍼의 의존 능력이 I형보다 윌등히 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

The benchmark on the ASCE cable-stayed bridge has gathered since its proposal the interest of many specialists in the field of the structural control and the dynamic response of long span bridges. Starting from the original benchmark statement in the MATLAB framework, a refined version of the bridge model is developed in the ANSYS commercial finite element environment. A passive structural control system is studied through non linear numerical analyses carried out in time domain for several seismic realizations in a multiple support framework. An innovative electro-inductive device is considered. Its positive performance is compared with an alternative version considering traditional metallic dampers.

In this research, the efficiency of a metallic energy dissipation device for seismic retrofit of an existing structure is evaluated by cyclic loading test. The proposed device, which is called multi-slit damper, is made of weak and strong slit dampers connected in series. Its energy dissipation mechanism consists of two stages: (i) yielding of the weak-slit damper under minor earthquakes; (ii) restraint of further deformations of the weak slit damper and activation of the strong slit damper under major earthquakes using a gap mechanism. A reinforced concrete (RC) frame with characteristics similar to soft-first-story structures is tested under cyclic loading before and after retrofit using the proposed device. The details of the experimental study are described and the test is simulated in an available commercial software to validate the analytical model of the damper. To further verify the applicability of the damper, it is applied to an analysis model of a 4-story structure with soft first story and its seismic performance is evaluated before and after retrofit. The experimental and analysis results show that the multi-slit damper is effective in controlling seismic response of structures.
