Abstract
Dampers are effective in ensuring the earthquake resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. Reliable connections between dampers and concrete components are critical for dampers to effectively function in RC buildings. In this study, the structural behavior of connections between concrete components and a gusset plate with stud bolts to join the damper to the RC buildings was analyzed. Component tests of the connections between the concrete components and the gusset plate with stud bolts were conducted. The specimen parameters were the arrangement of stud bolts and the presence or absence of a closing plate. As a result of the tests, the stiffness of the connections was different depending on the arrangement of the stud bolts. In addition, the specimen with the closing plates exhibited high stiffness and strength. Finally, an evaluation method for the force-displacement curve of the connections between the concrete components and the gusset plate with stud bolts is provided.
