Masonry structure is a style of building which has been widely applied as residential facilities of low and middle stories, commercial and public facilities etc. But it is possible to destroy by loss of adhesive strength or sliding when lateral forces, such as earthquake, occurs. This study proposes a seismic retrofit method for masonry structure and its seismic performance is demonstrated by shaking table test. Two specimens per each shaking direction were made, having out-of-plane(weak axis) and in-plane(strong axis) direction. External load of 1 ton was also applied for each specimen during the test, to model the behavior of reinforced masonry wall. As a result of shaking table tests, it is shown that the specimen applying the proposed seismic retrofit method showed acceptable behaviors in both of Korea building design criteria(0.14g) and USA seismic criteria suggested by IBC(0.4g). However, it was observed that stiffness of the specimen toward out-of-plane was rapidly decreasing when seismic excitations over 0.14g were loaded. In comparison of relative displacements, maximum relative displacement of specimens which were accelerated toward out-of-plane with 0.4g at once was 29~31% of maximum relative displacement when specimens were gradually accelerated from 0.08g to 0.4g, while the maximum relative displacement of specimens accelerated toward in-plane has similar value in both cases. Therefore, it is concluded that the wall accelerated toward out-of-plane is more affected by hair crack or possible fatigues caused by seismic excitation.
조적조 구조물은 전 세계적으로 중 저층 주거시설, 상업시설, 종교용 건축물, 학교, 관공서 등의 용도로 폭넓게 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 조적벽체는 조적개체와 모르타르의 이질재료를 접착하여 쌓는 방식의 구조벽체로 지진과 같은 횡력 발생 시 접착력을 잃거나 미끄러지면서 파괴될 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 조적식 구조물의 내진보강 기법을 제안하였으며, 진동대 실험을 통하여 내진 성능을 검증하였다. 진동대 실험 결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 내진보강 기법을 이용한 벽체는 한국 건축설계 기준이 제시하는 내진 기준인 0.14g와 미국 IBC에서 제시하는 내진 기준인 0.4g에서 모두 최종 파괴에 도달하지 않았다. 그러나, 0.14g 이상의 지진을 경험한 면외방향 실험체의 경우 급격한 강성저하가 관찰되어, 적절한 보수 보강이 필요할 것으로 예측된다.
