Base isolation bearings are known as an effective system to Protect bridges from the earthquake damage. There are many types of base isolation bearings in the market. Among them, steel hysteretic damper, made of mild steel and one of the oldest ones, has some good features. Since steel hysteretic damper is made of steel and has simple structure, it is cheeper and easier to maintain than other types. Despite the advantages, steel hysteretic damper with pin-type elements has no application in Korea. The steel hysteretic damper with pin-type elements are tested to examin the basic characteristics and to evaluate antiseismic performance. In this paper, the results of the test are presented.

This study performed experimental validation of the hysteretic steel slit damper's basic and dependent characteristics, which should be considered for the design. The basic characteristic of the steel slit damper is used for determining design properties of non-linear analysis, such as yielding strength, yielding displacement, elastic stiffness and post-yielding stiffness. In order to evaluate dependent characteristics of the hysteretic steel slit damper, repeated deformation capacity with respect to the displacement, velocity and aspect ratio of the damper was evaluated. In this study, steel slit damper, which is widely used in Korea, was considered. The slit dampers with 55kN and 240kN of yielding strength were produced and tested. It was concluded that the slit damper's hysteresis behavior was affected by the dependent characteristics: displacement, velocity and aspect ratio. In other words, the steel slit damper's behavior was stable within limit displacement, and aspect ratio of the strut affected repeated deformation capacity of the damper subjected to large deformation. In addition, it was observed that the repeated deformation capacity abruptly decreased at the high speed range (${\geq}60mm/sec$). Furthermore, the experimental results were evaluated with the criterion of the damping device specified in ASCE7-10.

강재형 댐퍼는 주로 철골구조에서 많이 사용되어 왔으나 최근에 들어 철근콘크리트 건물에도 사용빈도가 증가하는 추세이다. 철근콘크리트 건물에 강재이력댐퍼를 적용하기 위해서는 댐퍼의 접합부재가 댐퍼의 지지능력을 보 및 벽체로 전달하기에 적합한 강도와 강성을 지녀야만 한다. 하지만 균열로 인한 철근콘크리트 요소의 손상은 부득이한 것으로, 댐퍼로부터 지지부재로의 하중전달 메커니즘과 댐퍼 지지부재 이력특성의 규명은 이러한 댐퍼의 거동을 평가하는데 매우 중요하다. 이에 이 연구에서는 EaSy 댐퍼와 같은 강재판형 이력댐퍼의 지지부재와 RC벽체와의 접합상세를 대상으로 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 전단과 관련된 균열의 양과 패턴을 제외하고는 모든 실험체의 파괴패턴은 거의 동일한 것으로 나타났으며, 잘 분산된 균열을 지닌 HD-3 실험체가 에너지소산능력, 강성저하 그리고 강도저하 측면에서 좋은 거동을 보여주었다.

In this study a new hysteretic damper for seismic retrofit of soft-first story structures is proposed and its seismic retrofit effect is evaluated. The damper consists of one steel column member and two flexural fuses at both ends made of steel plates with reduced section, which can be placed right beside existing columns in order to minimize interference with passengers and automobiles in the installed bays. The relative displacement between the stories forms flexural plastic hinges at the fuses and dissipate seismic energy. The theoretical formulation and the design procedure based on plastic analysis is provided for the proposed damper, and the results are compared with a detailed finite-element (FE) model. In order to apply the damper in structural analysis, a macromodel of the damper is also developed and calibrated by the derived theoretical formulas. The results are compared with the detailed FE analysis, and the efficiency of the damper is further validated by the seismic retrofit of a case study structure and assessing its seismic performance before and after the retrofit. The results show that the proposed hysteretic damper can be used effectively in reducing damage to soft-first story structures.

Friction dampers are displacement dependent energy dissipation devices which dissipate earthquake energy through friction mechanism and widely used in improving the seismic behavior of new structures and rehabilitation of existing structures. In this paper, the cyclic behavior of a friction damper with different friction materials is investigated through experimental tests under cyclic loading. The damper is made of steel plates, friction pads, preloaded bolts and hard washers. The paper aims at investigating the hysteretic behavior of three friction materials under cyclic loading to be utilized in friction damper. The tested friction materials are: powder lining, super lining and metal lining. The experimental results are studied according to FEMA-356 acceptance criteria and the most appropriate friction material is selected by comparing all friction materials results.

Passive steel dampers have shown favorable performance in last earthquakes, numerical and experimental studies. Although steel dampers are more affordable than other types of damper, they are not economically justified for ordinary buildings. Therefore, in this paper, an innovative steel damper with shear yielding mechanism is introduced, which is easy to fabricate also can be easily replaced after sever earthquakes. The main goal of implementing such a mechanism is to control the possible damage in the damper and to ensure the elastic behavior of other structural components. The numerical results indicate an enhancement of the hysteretic behavior of the concentrically braced frames utilizing the proposed damper. The proposed damper change brittle behavior of brace due to buckling to ductile behavior due to shear yielding in proposed damper. The necessary relations for the design of this damper have been presented. In addition, a model has been presented to estimate load-displacement of the damper without needing to finite element modeling.

A new experimental system of base-isolated structures is proposed. There are two kinds of dampers usually used in the base-isolated buildings, one is a viscous-type damper and the other is an elastic-plastic hysteretic-type damper. The base-isolated structure with a viscous damper and that with an elastic-plastic hysteretic damper are compared in this paper. The viscous damper is modeled by a mini piston and the elastic-plastic hysteretic damper is modeled by a low yield-point steel. The capacity of both dampers is determined so that the dissipated energies are equivalent at a specified deformation. When the capacity of both dampers is determined according to this criterion, it is shown that the response of the base-isolated structure with the elastic-plastic hysteretic damper is larger than that with the viscous damper. This characteristic is demonstrated through the comparison of the bound of the aspect ratio. It is shown that the bound of aspect ratio for the base-isolated structure with the elastic-plastic hysteretic damper is generally smaller than that with the viscous damper. When the base-isolated structure is subjected to long-duration input, the mechanical property of the elastic-plastic hysteretic damper deteriorates and the response of the base-isolated structure including that damper becomes larger than that with the viscous damper. The effect of this change of material properties on the response of the base-isolated structure is also investigated.

지진등과 같은 횡력에 대해 저항하기 위해 자주 사용되는 브레이스는 좌굴하중 이후에는 좌굴에 의해 내력이 저하하는 등 안정된 이력특성을 발휘하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 브레이스의 좌굴을 방지하고 소성 변형 능력을 크게 하기 위하여 slit plate로 이루어진 damper를 부착한 브레이스의 형태를 제안하였다. 그리고 이러한 탄소성 이력댐퍼를 부착한 브레이스재의 이력 특성을 파악하기 위한 실험에서 얻어진 결과를 분석하고 그 가능성을 검토하였다.

Conventional braces are often used to provide stiffness to structures; however due to buckling they cannot be used as seismic energy dissipating elements. In this study, a seismic energy dissipation device is proposed which is comprised of a bracing member and a steel hysteretic damper made of steel hexagonal plates. The hexagonal shaped designated fuse causes formation of plastic hinges under axial deformation of the brace. The main advantages of this damper compared to conventional metallic dampers and buckling-restrained braces are the stable and controlled energy dissipation capability with ease of manufacture. The mechanical behavior of the damper is formulated first and a design procedure is provided. Next, the theoretical formulation and the efficiency of the damper are verified using finite element (FE) analyses. An analytical model of the damper is established and its efficiency is further investigated by applying it to seismic retrofit of a case study structure. The seismic performance of the structure is evaluated before and after retrofit in terms of maximum interstory drift ratio, top story displacement, residual displacement, and energy dissipation of dampers. Overall, the median of maximum interstory drift ratios is reduced from 3.8% to 1.6% and the residual displacement decreased in the x-direction which corresponds to the predominant mode shape of the structure. The analysis results show that the developed damper can provide cost-effective seismic protection of structures.
