Recently, high-performance steels have been increasingly used for structural materials in buildings and bridges with the demand for high-rise and long-span of main structures. This paper offers a series of basic study for the design specification of structural members using high performance steel, that is material properties of HSA800 (High-performance rolled steel for building structures). Built-up square tube stub columns with variables of width-to-thickness ratios are planned as a parametric study in order to investigate the local buckling behaviors and check the current design limit of width-to-thickness ratio. In addition, the buckling behaviors of stub columns obtained finite element (FE) analysis were compared with those from experimental tests. The verified FE model was used for parametric study and checked applicability of high-strength steel on current design specification.

An analysis program to predict the behavior of a concrete filled steel tube column (CFT) was developed. It considered confining effect, material nonlinearity, strain hardening of steel, and initial axial load. With the developed program, axial load-bending moment interaction analyses, moment-lateral displacement relation analyses, and lateral load-lateral displacement relation analyses were performed. For the verification of the developed program, analysis results were compared with the test results from the other researches. The verified results showed that the developed program predicted the behavior of the CFT column with agreeable accuracy. And they showed that it is necessary to consider the confining effect for the reasonable analysis of the CFT column. A simple parametric study was performed and it chose the strength of unconfined concrete and the thickness of a steel tube as the major parameters affecting the behavior of the CFT column. The parametric analysis results showed that the CFT column had higher strength and smaller ductility by increasing the strength of concrete. But the CFT column showed higher strength and larger ductility by increasing the thickness of the steel tube.

Surface area of the steel member exposed to fire differs according to type and size of the section and the kind of the member, which shows a big difference in the temperature rise of the steel by fire. The section factor ($H_p$/A) is determined by factors such as type, size, and member of the steel and type of the fire protection material, and it is the criteria in determining thickness of the fire protection material. This study showed that the size of the steel increase regardless of the steel type, the section factor decrease. In the results on fire protection thickness of the steel according to the section factor, the efficiency of 1 hour fire protection was lower from 30 to 50% than the criteria. And there is the member, which have the thickness lower the minimum 27% in 2 hour fire protection, but it generally approached in the criteria. In case of H-shape steel, the efficiency of 3 hour fire protection was suitable for the criteria, but rectangular hollow steel section and circular hollow steel section were higher (5.0-17.5%) than the criteria.

Experimental and analytical work was conducted to investigate the relations of axial force and deformational capacity of concrete-filled square steel tube columns. The test series consisting of 36 columns were tested under the constant axial load and horizontal cyclic load. The axial force of the columns that resisted under the cyclic lateral load was defined as a certified strength of limit axial force. The analytical model was defined as a cantilever beam-column. The axial force of the beam-column that resisted under the cyclic lateral load was defined as an accumulated certified strength of limit axial force. The purpose of this study is to investigate the certified strength of limit axial force of concrete-filled steel tube beam-columns, which were subjected to both axial and lateral load condition corresponding to a given constant rotation angle. Another purpose of this study is to discuss the comparison of the certified strength of limit axial force of concrete and the accumulated certified strength of limit axial force of concrete-filled steel tube columns.

The divergence connection between steel circular tubes is widely used in such structures as factory facilities, steel circular hollow section truss, and off-shore tower. Steel circular hollow section (SCHS) have close section, and it makes their per-unit production expense higher than open sectioned products like L-shape, H-shape steels, but the sectional resistance of SCHS against vertical compression and torsion is very high. Despite the structural merits of SCHS, however, many engineers dislike to use them in their design because of uncertainty regarding the stress distribution and deformation behavior at their connections. Therefore, this thesis dealt with X-type connections, the most common forms of connection, and studied their load-deformation relationship. It observed how to show the load-deformation relationship at steel circular tube connections according to the diameter-thickness ratio (D/T) of the chord and diameter of branch-diameter of chord ratio (d/D) and suggested prediction yield load using by ring analysis method.

The newly improved multistep steel pipe grouting method was applied to an existing steel pipe-reinforced grouting method. It was applied in order to prevent a damage caused by ground failure from excessive grouting pressure in a tunnel construction. The tunnel goes under a highway and a ramp connected to a rest area on OO highway with 11.3~12.1 m depth cover and is a part of roadbed facility construction section ordered by OO public corporation. The improved grouting method provides pre-construction work condition assessment technique through new water injection limit test and grouting effect assessment technique by grouting type assessment. It also includes assessments on interval of joints, appropriate grouting pressure, and optimal operation time to be applied to current operations. Application of the grouting method allowed the smooth road management in shallow-depth grouting construction area located upper part of tunnel excavation. Moreover, the possibility of the application of the method not only to shallow-depth grouting construction but also to various steel pipe-reinforced grouting constructions was confirmed.

아연계 도금 강판은 우수한 내식성을 가지며 특히 아연의 희생방식기구에 의해 철의 부식을 억제하므로 선박, 건축자재, 전자기기 및 자동차 등 다양한 분야에서 그 수요와 사용범위가 증가하고 있다. 또한 도금 조성비 변화 및 다양한 표면처리 방법을 통해 가혹한 환경에서의 우수한 내식성에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중 갈바륨(Galvalume)은 55%의 알루미늄(Al)과 45%의 아연(Zn)으로 되어 있으며, 아연의 장점인 희생방식성과 내알카리성, 알루미늄의 장점인 내구성과 내열성, 내산성을 이상적으로 결합시킨 알루미늄(Al)-아연(Zn) 고내식 합금용융도금강판이다. 본 연구에서는 갈바륨 소재를 여러 산업현장에서 강관 형태로 사용할 경우의 내식성을 파악하기 위해 갈바륨 강관과 기존에 사용되고 있는 용융도금재인 용융아연도금 강관을 비교하며 실험을 진행하였다. 냉간압연강관에 용융아연도금 약 $25{\mu}m$, 갈바륨 약 $20{\mu}m$ 두께로 제작된 강관을 사용하였으며 제작된 도금층 표면 모폴로지는 SEM을 통해 관찰하였고, XRD 분석을 통해 결정 구조를 확인하였다. 또한 5% 염수분무 환경 중 노출시험(Salt spray test), 3% NaCl 용액에서의 자연침지 시험 및 3% NaCl 용액 중 전기화학적 양극분극 시험을 진행하여 평가하였다. 5% NaCl 환경에서의 염수분무 시험 결과 용융아연도금의 경우 단면에서는 90시간, 표면에서는 260시간 경과 후 적청이 발생하였다. 반면, 갈바륨의 경우에는 단면에서 210시간 경과 후에 적청이 발생하였고, 표면의 경우에는 900시간 이상에서도 적청이 발생하지 않았다. 이 결과를 통해 용융아연도금에 비해 갈바륨 도금의 내식성이 단면에서는 3배, 표면에서는 4~5배 이상 향상된 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 3% NaCl 용액 중 자연침지 시험 결과 용융아연도금 강관 표면은 24시간 경과 후 열화부를 중심으로 흑변하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으나 갈바륨의 경우에는 900시간 이상 실험이 진행되는 동안 No Scribe 및 Scribe 시편 모두 외관상 변화가 거의 없었다. 단면의 경우, 용융아연도금 시편은 900시간 이상 실험이 진행되는 동안 외관상 변화가 없었으며, 갈바륨 시편의 경우 300시간 경과 하면서 흰색의 아연 부식생성물이 나타났으나 900시간 이후로도 적청은 발생하지 않았다. 자연전위 측정결과 용융아연도금 및 갈바륨 시편 모두 유사한 전위거동을 나타냈지만 단면의 경우 갈바륨 시편이 용융아연도금에 비해 안정적인 거동을 보였다. 3% NaCl 용액 중 전기화학적 양극 분극 시험 결과 용융아연도금이 갈바륨에 비해 귀한 방향의 부식 전위 값을 나타냈으며, 부식 전류밀도도 용융아연도금이 갈바륨에 비해 더 높은 값을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 염수분무시험, 자연침지시험 및 전기화학적 양극분극시험을 통해 종합적으로 분석-고찰하여 보면, 그 부식이 진행되는 과정은 융융아연도금과 달리 갈바륨 도금의 경우가 다단계적인 부식 과정을 거치면서 우수한 내식 특성을 나타낸다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 갈바륨 도금은 그 도금 막에 분포된 합금상 원소 성분들이 상호 갈바닉(Galvanic) 작용하며 형성된 부식생성물이 수평적으로 자체 차단(Barrier) 역할을 하는 과정과 부분적 부식-회복 과정을 거치면서 다단계적으로 부식속도를 감소시키게 된다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The stresses on the buried steel pipe under embankment are analysed by the elasto-plastic theory using FEM to study the influences of the geometry of soil-conduit pipe system and the elastic modulus of the fill on the pipe responses . The geometry of the system considered in this study includes the height of embankment, the thickness of the pipe, and the width and the depth of the trench . By comparing the stresses computed by Marston-Spangler's pipe theory with those obtained from the elasto-plastic theory, Marston-Spangler's theory was discussed and analysed . It is found that the stress distribution around the pipe by elasto- plastic analysis is similar to that by Spangler's flexible pipe theory when the geometrical ratio (diameter/thickness) of the steel pipe is 400. And Spangler's flexible pipe theory does not seem to be suitable to analyse the buried steel pipe of which the geometrical ratio is lower than 200. The vertical loads by the rigid pipe theory are always larger than those by the flexible pipe theory regardness of the variations in the geometry of soil-conduit pipe system considered above and the elastic modulus of the fill.

The squash strength and design strength are smaller than the experimental strength of square shaped concrete-filled steel tubular columns in a short concentrically loaded column. This study presents an evaluation procedure accounting for the confining effect of concrete. For the purpose of evaluating a confining effect of concrete, the 3D finite element method was used. The influence of parameters, width-thickness ratios, strength of the concrete and the yield strength of the steel, were examined. The suggested evaluation procedure that assembled three parameters was compared with previous experimental results. Also, the tendency of the confining effect of concrete was examined in the three types of load application.
