Abstract
Recently, there are many discussions about repairability and recovery on damaged buildings. It is desirable to establish the design manuals for recovery considering continuous use of structures. In our previous researches, the damaged steel members of H-shaped and square tube section were reproduced by loading test. From the loading test results, the inelastic behavior and restoring force characteristics were clarified, and also the analytical model were proposed which can chase test results well. It means that we have already conducted the member based research on repairability. So, in this study, to investigate the inelastic behavior and restoring force characteristics of repaired steel frames, the loading test is performed on half size scaled - partial frame model as parameters with strength ratio of column-beam and panel-beam. It is assumed that the various type of failure mode is generated on original state and repaired state. During loading test on original state, local buckling is observed on H-shaped steel beam. Therefore, the damaged area is repaired by welding cover plates method which is recommended by Japanese restoration manual for damaged building structure by severe seismic disasters. And also, the loading tests on repaired state is performed, and it is confirmed that the strength is restored at the same or high level compared with original state. However, in case of beam failure mode on original state, different failure mode is observed on repaired state. Furthermore, a finite element analysis is performed, and the resistant mechanism during ultimate state is investigated analytically in detail.
