본 연구에서는 실내실험을 통하여 U형 강박스거더의 상부 수평브레이싱이 휨 거동에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 기존의 수평브레이싱 설계 제안식에 대한 적정성을 검토하기 위하여, 실제 시공되고 있는 U형 강박스 거더 단면의 2/3정도 되는 캔틸레버 형식의 시험체를 제작하여 휨 실험을 수행하였다. 이로써 수집된 데이터를 분석하여 상부 수평브레이싱의 합리적인 휨 설계식 제안을 위한 기초를 마련하였다. 그리고, 상부 수평브레이싱의 형태 및 패널수의 변화에 따른 휨 실험을 통하여 브레이싱 부재의 응력을 측정하고 Helwig가 제안한 설계식으로 구한 값과 비교한 결과 합리적인 브레이싱의 형태 및 패널 수를 얻을 수 있었다.

브레이싱재를 사용하는 목적은 본 골조체계 즉 기둥과 보에 비해 단면(강성)이 작은 부재로 보강하여 횡력에 대한 강성효과를 크게 향상시키기 위함이다. 브레이싱재의 단면이 기둥과 보의 단면에 비해 월등히 작기 때문에 압축력에 의한 좌굴의 위험성과 휨량의 크기에 비례하여 부재 중앙에 발생되는 추가 모멘트(P-.DELTA. Effect)에 의한 불리한 영향 및 해석상의 어려움 때문에 브레이싱의 설계에 있어서 브레이싱재는 압축력을 받지 않는 것으로 간주하여 왔다. 그러나 최근 들어 구조물 해석에 정확도가 요구되어짐에 따라 브레이싱재의 정확한 거동에 대한 연구가 실험을 통해 활발히 진행되어 왔고, 특히 탄성한계를 지난 소성상태에서 반복하중에 의한 거동 규명이 큰 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 논문에서는 반복하중을 받는 강재 브레이싱재의 비선형 거동을 해석적 방법에 의해 규명했고, 그 결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다.

In this paper a systematic numerical analysis is performed to obtain the energy dissipation and re-centering capacities of diagonal steel braced frames subjected to cyclic loading. This diagonal steel bracing systems are fabricated with super-elastic SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) braces in order to develop a recentering seismic resistance system without residual deformation. The three-dimensional nonlinear finite element models are constructed to investigate the horizontal stiffness, drifts and failure modes of the re-centering bracing systems.

The inclusion of a ductile steel bracing as means of repairing an earthquake-damaged bridge bent is evaluated and experimentally assessed for the purposes of restoring the damaged bent's strength and stiffness and further improving the energy dissipation capacity. The study is focused on substandard reinforced concrete multi-column bridge bents constructed in the 1950 to mid-1970 in the United States. These types of bents have numerous deficiencies making them susceptible to seismic damage. Large-scale experiments were used on a two-column reinforced concrete bent to impose considerable damage of the bent through increasing amplitude cyclic deformations. The damaged bent was then repaired by installing a ductile fuse steel brace in the form of a buckling-restrained brace in a diagonal configuration between the columns and using post-tensioned rods to strengthen the cap beam. The brace was secured to the bent using steel gusset plate brackets and post-installed adhesive anchors. The repaired bent was then subjected to increasing amplitude cyclic deformations to reassess the bent performance. A subassemblage test of a nominally identical steel brace was also conducted in an effort to quantify and isolate the ductile fuse behavior. The experimental data from these large-scale experiments were analyzed in terms of the hysteretic response, observed damage, internal member loads, as well as the overall stiffness and energy dissipation characteristics. The results of this study demonstrated the effectiveness of utilizing ductile steel bracing for restoring the bent and preventing further damage to the columns and cap beams while also improving the stiffness and energy dissipation characteristics.

Concrete placement and temporary formwork of bridge deck overhangs result in unbalanced eccentric loads that cause exterior girders to rotate during construction. These construction loads affect the global and local stability of the girders and produce permanent girder rotation after construction. In addition to construction loads, the skew angle of the bridge also contributes to girder rotation. To prevent rotation (in both skewed and non-skewed bridges), a number of techniques have been suggested to temporarily brace the girders using transverse tie bars connecting the top flanges and embedded in the deck, temporary horizontal and diagonal steel pipes placed between the webs of the exterior and first interior girders, and permanent cross frames. This study includes a rigorous three-dimensional finite element analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of several bracing systems for non-skewed and several skewed bridges. In this paper, skew angles of $0^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, and $45^{\circ}$ were considered for single- and three-span bridges. The results showed that permanent cross frames worked well for all bridges, whereas temporary measures have limited application depending on the skew angle of the bridge.

The energy dissipation of inverted V-type eccentric steel braced frames can be achieved through the yielding of a slit link, through yielding of a number of strips between slits when the frame is subjected to inelastic cyclic deformation. On the other hand, the development of seismic resistance system without residual deformation is obtained by applying the superelasdtic shape memory alloy (SMA) material into the brace and link elements. This paper presents results from a systematic three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis on the structural behavior of the eccentric bracing systems subjected to cyclic loadings. A wide scope of structural behaviors explains the horizontal stiffness, hysteretic behaviors, and failure modes of the recentering eccentric bracing system. The accurate results presented here serve as benchmark data for comparison with results obtained using modern experimental testing and alternative theoretical approaches.

Banda Aceh is one of the areas that sustains the most damage during a natural disaster because it contains so many houses, office buildings, public facilities, and schools. Public structures in coastal areas are highly susceptible to earthquakes, resulting in high casualties and property damage. Several public structures were reconstructed during the reconstruction and rehabilitation period. Because this building is located in an area with a high risk of earthquakes, its capacity must be analyzed initially. Additionally, history indicates that Aceh Province has been struck by numerous earthquakes, including the largest ever recorded in 1983 and the most recent earthquake with a magnitude of 9.3 SR on December 26, 2004. The city of Banda Aceh was devastated by this earthquake, which was followed by a tsunami. The possibility of a large earthquake in Banda Aceh City necessitates that the structures constructed there be resistant to seismic risk. This study's objective was to evaluate the seismic performance of the existing building by applying the method of strengthening the structure in the form of jacketing columns and the addition of steel bracing in order to estimate the performance of the structure using multiple ground motions. Therefore, several public buildings must be analyzed to determine the optimal seismic retrofitting technique.

Conventional seismic design of concentrically braced frame (CBF) structures suggests that the gusset plate connecting a steel brace to beams and/or columns should be designed as non-dissipative in earthquakes, while the steel brace members should be designed as dissipative elements. These design intentions lead to thicker and larger gusset plates in design on one hand and a potentially under-rated contribution of gusset plates in design, on the other hand. In contrast, research has shown that compact and thinner gusset plates designed in accordance with the elliptical clearance method rather than the conventional standard linear clearance method can enhance system ductility and energy dissipation capacity in concentrically braced steel frames. In order to assess the two design methods, six cyclic push-over tests on full scale models of concentric braced steel frame structures were conducted. Furthermore, a 3D finite element (FE) shell model, incorporating state-of-the-art tools and techniques in numerical simulation, was developed that successfully replicates the response of gusset plate and bracing members under fully reversed cyclic axial loading. Direct measurements from strain gauges applied to the physical models were used primarily to validate FE models, while comparisons of hysteresis load-displacement loops from physical and numerical models were used to highlight the overall performance of the FE models. The study shows the two design methods attain structural response as per the design intentions; however, the elliptical clearance method has a superiority over the standard linear method as a fact of improving detailing of the gusset plates, enhancing resisting capacity and improving deformability of a CBF structure. Considerations were proposed for improvement of guidelines for detailing gusset plates and bracing members in CBF structures.

본 연구에서는 비틀림 하중을 받는 U형 강박스 거더의 뒤틀림 거동을 해석적으로 분석하여 거더 내부에 설치되는 수직브레이싱의 각 부재에 발생하는 부재력을 산정하는 수식이 개발되었다. 편심하중 또는 거더의 곡률에 의해 발생하는 비틀림하중을 박스단면내 상대적인 변형과는 무관한 순수 비틀림 성분력과 박스 단면내 뒤틀림을 유발하는 뒤틀림 성분력으로 분해하여 뒤틀림 성분력과 이에 저항하는 내부 수직브레이싱의 상호작용 효과를 분석함으로써 각 부재에 발생하는 부재력을 비틀림하중의 함수로 도출하였다. 제안식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 편심하중을 받는 단경간 직선거더 및 전경간 일정한 곡률을 가지는 3경간 거더 예제를 선정하여 3차원 유한요소 모델링을 수행하고 해석을 통해 얻은 내부 수직브레이싱의 각 부재력을 제안식으로 산정된 값과 비교 분석하였다. 해석 및 제안식으로 결정된 각각의 부재력은 높은 수준으로 일치함을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 연속 2-거더교에서 하부 수평브레이싱의 유 무에 따른 하중분배효과를 파악하기 위하여 실제 교량으로부터 1/5 축소 제작된 모형 교량을 이용하여 재하 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과에 의하면 편재하된 하중에 대해 수평브레이싱이 설치되면 바닥판과 가로보의 구조적 기능이 향상되어 하중의 분배효과가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 해석모델을 사용하여 수평브레이싱 유 무에 따른 하중분배율을 정량적으로 평가해 본 결과, 수평브레이싱이 미설치된 경우는 대부분 바닥판에 의해 편재하 하중의 21% 정도가 반대측 거더로 전달되었고, 설치된 경우는 가로보와 브레이싱, 그리고 바닥판 모두 하중분배에 기여하여 하중분배효과가 1.7배 정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 수평브레이싱이 설치로 인해 가로보와 바닥판, 그리고 수평브레이싱 부재가 유사폐합단면을 구성하여 시험체의 비틂 강성이 증가되기 때문으로 분석되었다.
