Abstract

The reduced beam section (RBS) steel moment connection has performed well in past numerous tests. However there still remain several design issues that should be further examined. One such issue on RBS connection performance is the panel zone strength. Although a significant amount of test data are available, a specific recommendation for a desirable range of panel zone strength versus beam strength has yet to be proposed. In this paper, the effects of panel zone strength on the cyclic performance of RBS connection are investigated based on the available test database from comprehensive independent testing programs. A criterion for a balanced panel zone strength that assures sufficient plastic rotation capacity while reducing the amount of beam buckling is proposed. Numerical studies to supplement the test results are then presented based on the validated finite element analysis. Satisfactory numerical simulation achieved in this study also indicates that numerical analysis based on quality finite element modeling can supplement or replace, at least in part, the costly full-scale cyclic testing of steel moment connections.

보 플랜지 절취형(Reduced Beam Section, RBS) 내진 철골모멘트접합부는 국내외의 여러 실험프로그램에서 뛰어난 내진성능을 보여 주었다. 그러나 추가적으로 규명해야할 설계상의 몇몇 이슈들이 아직 남아있다. 그 중의 하나가 패널존의 보에 대한 적정강도이다. 다수의 실험결과가 존재함에도 불구하고 패널존과 보 사이의 적정강도비가 아직까지 명확하게 제시된 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 독립적으로 수행된 국내외의 광범위한 실험 데이터베이스를 기초로 패널존 강도가 접합부의 내진거동에 미치는 영향을 포괄적으로 분석하였다. 이를 기초로 보의 좌굴을 감소시키는 동시에 충분한 접합부 소성회전능력을 보장할 수 있는 균형패널존의 강도범위를 제안하였다. 아울러 반복재하 실물대 실험결과를 만족스럽게 재현할 수 있는 유한요소모델을 구축한 후 다양한 수치해석을 통하여 실험자료에서 누락된 부분이나 실험적으로는 파악하기 어려운 거동을 고찰하였다. 이 과정에서 오늘날의 강력한 유한요소해석기법을 활용하여 많은 비용이 드는 철골접합부 실물대 내진실험을 보완하거나 적어도 부분적으로 대체할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
