In order to use these kinds of gymnasia as shelters after the earthquake, they are required seismic retrofit. However, a conventional seismic retrofit method requires strengthening bearings with steel corner plates and replacing all the roof braces, which is uneconomical. In this paper, a seismic retrofit method inserting energy-dissipation elements into the roof bearings is discussed and their response reduction effects on the gymnasium are investigated. 2. Modelling and Response of Non-Retrofitted Model: The analysis model simulates the actual gymnasium damaged in 2011 Tohoku earthquake and the energy-dissipation roof bearings with elasto-plastic or viscous damper are taken into account. The maximum acceleration response of non-retrofitted model at the bearings is about 2.5∼3.0G and the maximum reaction force of bearings is over the yield force of the existing bearings, which corresponds to the actual damage. The maximum acceleration response of non-retrofitted model at the roller bearings is reduced to 1.5G, however, the maximum displacement of the RC cantilevered walls reaches over 300 mm. 3. Response of Retrofitted Model with Energy-Dissipation Bearings: On the basis of the analysis results, a seismic retrofit method using the energy-dissipation bearings shows the significant response reduction effect on the RC cantilevered walls. In the retrofit using the elasto-plastic bearings, the maximum displacement response of the RC cantilevered walls is reduced sufficiently by initial stiffness and limited yield strength bearings. Then, the maximum relative displacement of bearings is suppressed below 50 mm. In the studies of retrofit using the viscous bearings, the maximum displacement and acceleration response of the cantilevered RC walls and the maximum relative displacement of bearings are reduced to a certain extent simultaneously as viscous increases. Then, the maximum reaction force of bearings is kept below the yield force of the existing bearings and the maximum relative displacement of bearings is suppressed below 20 mm. 4. Response Evaluation with equivalent SDOF System and Equivalent Linearization Method: A simplified response evaluation method using the equivalent SDOF system and equivalent linearization method are proposed to analyze the response of the cantilevered RC walls and to determine the optimum performance of the energy-dissipation bearings. The model is composed of the steel roof spring, the cantilevered RC wall mass and spring and the bearings as a non-linear spring. Analysis with equivalent SDOF system can evaluate the maximum reaction force of bearing and the evaluation of their maximum displacement in a safe side. 5. Conclusions: In conclusions, the following results are obtained. 1) A seismic retrofit method inserting energy-dissipation elements into roof bearings shows significant response reduction effect on RC cantilevered walls, keeping boss the reaction force and displacement of bearings non-damaged level. 2) The energy-dissipation bearings with elasto-plastic damper show the significant response reduction effect on the cantilevered RC walls with high stiffness and limited yield strength, while the maximum relative displacement of bearings is suppressed below 50 mm. 3) The energy-dissipation bearings with viscous damper also show the significant response reduction effect on RC cantilevered walls. Both the maximum displacement and acceleration response and the maximum relative displacement of bearings are reduced to non-damaged level, the maximum relative displacement of bearings being suppressed below 20 mm. 4) A simplified response evaluation method using equivalent SDOF system and an equivalent linearization technique are proposed to determine the optimum specification of the energy-dissipation bearings with some margins in the maximum displacement.
