STUDIES ON THE ARRANGEMENT OF STEEL FRAMED BRACE FOR SEISMIC STRENGTHENING OF EXISTING MEDIUM-HIGH RISE SRC APARTMENT TYPE BUILDING

Abstract

This study proposes the evaluation method of arrangement and the strengthening effect of the steel framed brace for existing middle to high rise I-shaped apartment complex buildings designed before 1981. The proposed method considers the displacement and strength ratio of flexural to shear. The applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by static load incremental analysis and dynamic response analysis of an example model building.
