Seismic Retrofitting Structure and Construction Method for Seismic Retrofitting Structures

Seismic Retrofitting Structure and Construction Method Using Reinforcing Members and Anchors for Walls

This technology is a retrofitting structure designed to enhance the seismic performance of walls. It consists of a reinforcing member, which is placed in an area where the width-wise end of the wall has been removed and features pre-formed fixing holes, and anchors that are inserted into the fixing holes and wall installation holes to secure the reinforcing member to the wall.

Conventional seismic retrofitting for walls has faced limitations in achieving effective reinforcement, as it is difficult to securely fasten reinforcing materials to the wall and fill the gaps between them.

By placing the reinforcing member in the removed area, securing it with anchors, and filling the gaps, this technology can be applied to the seismic retrofitting of aging buildings to improve the seismic performance of their walls.

Key Features:

• A reinforcing member positioned in an area where the width-wise end of the wall has been removed vertically, featuring fixing holes on both sides.
• Anchors inserted into the fixing holes of the reinforcing member and the installation holes formed in the wall to secure the reinforcing member to the wall.
• An attachment member positioned in the area where the edges of the reinforcing member meet the wall to fill the gaps between them.
• A reinforcing member provided such that its longitudinal direction faces the height direction of the wall to reinforce the wall.
