A seismic reinforcing device comprising:
- an upper support installed on an upper horizontal portion configured to connect columns;
- lower supports installed on a lower horizontal portion, which is disposed under the upper horizontal portion and connects the columns, and disposed in a diagonal direction with respect to the upper support, disposed at a non-zero distance from each of the columns;
- dampers coupled to the upper support and one of the lower supports and configured to absorb a shock;
- and
- corrugated damper covers,
- wherein each of the dampers includes:
- a damper upper coupler coupled to the upper support;
- a damper lower coupler coupled to one of the lower supports;
- a damper hydraulic portion configured to connect the damper upper coupler and the damper lower coupler and having a length adjusted by hydraulic pressure;
- and
- a damper elastic portion configured to elastically support the damper upper coupler and the damper lower coupler, and the damper elastic portion surrounds the damper hydraulic portion,
- the damper elastic portion and the damper hydraulic portion are enclosed by and spaced-apart from one of the corrugated damper covers.
