In Japan, many seismic retrofits are developed as a construction method which increases the safety of buildings in case of an earthquake. In recent years, seismic retrofits have been attracting attention as a construction method which raises the safety of buildings in case of an earthquake in South Korea. In addition, in order to spread seismic retrofits in buildings, it is important that they are able to be easily constructed. Therefore, this paper, suggests a metal connector that can be easily constructed in buildings and as a result of testing, it was clarified that the proposed metal connector can be applied to seismic retrofits.
