자동차의 외관품질과 관련된 외판재용 고강도강으로는 내 dent성을 향상을 위해서 IF-HSS강과 BH강의 사용량이 크게 증가하였으며, 최근에는 490MPa급 DP강이 적용되기 시작하고 있다. 그리고 내판 판넬의 경우에는 고가공성 을 갖는 고강도강의 개발으로 고강도강의 사용량이 늘어나고 있다. 내판재 중 승객의 안전과 관련된 멤버, 필라와 같은 구조부재는 중간 정도의 강도를 갖는 고강도강을 주로 적용되어 왔으나, 최근 차체경량화 요구의 증가로 590MPa급 이상 고강도강이 적용되기 시작하였으며, 특히 고속변형에서 에너지 흡수능이 우수한 TRIP (Trans-formation Induced Plasticity)강 및 DP(Dual Phase)강에 대한 관심이 크게 증대되고 있다. 저속충돌에서 차체를 보호하는 범퍼보강재는 고강도화가 빠르게 진행되어, 현재는 석출경화강에 변태 조직 강화를 더한 780MPa급 이상의 초고강도강을 주로 사용하고 있으며, 1370MPa급 까지 적용하고 있다.

Most of current representative design standards worldwide forbid or impose restrictions on the use of high-strength steels for hollow tubular structures. The mechanical background of these limitations appears unclear and unduly conservative, and their validity needs to be re-evaluated. In this study, a total of 9 CHS(Circular Hollow Section) X-joints were tested under axial compression and analyzed to examine if the high-strength steel restrictions specified by current design standards could be relaxed. All the high-strength steel CHS X-joints tested showed satisfactory performance compared to ordinary steel joints in terms of serviceability, ultimate strength, and ductility, although the yield strength of steel was even as high as 800MPa.

This paper summarizes the test results of the flexible-stiff mixed system for the effective use of high-strength steel. Steel with a high degree of strength and performance is being increasingly required as buildings get larger and taller. High-strength steels cannot be used for many applications, though, because they have a number of defects. For instance, they have a high yield ratio, a small strain in maximum stress, and equal Young's modulus compared to mild steels. A new structural system is needed to effectively use high-strength steels with some defects. This paper proposes the flexible-stiff mixed system for the effective use of high-strength steels with high yield ratios. The possibility of using the system is discussed through the test of flexible-stiff mixed columns with high-strength steels. The main variable of the specimens is the yield displacement ratio, including both the force ratio and the stiffness ratio. The proper yield displacement ratio is proposed by adopting the flexible-stiff mixed system. The test results showed that the proposed flexible-stiff mixed system has a high capacity for energy absorption and the highest capacity for energy absorption when the yield displacement ratio of the flexible element to the stiff element ranges from 2.7 to 3.3.

The objective of this study is to investigate the structural character of the buckling strength of 600MPa-class high-strength steel compression members. The buckling strength of circular hollow-section columns is evaluated by a numerical analysis of the stress-strain curves of the tension test results. The numerical analysis was based on the beam-column theory and the tangent modulus theory. It was considered possible to enlarge the nominal yield strength of the 600MPa-class steel.

국내에서는 플레이트거더의 휨 강도 및 전단 강도를 허용응력설계법에 기반한 도로교설계기준(2005)에 근거하여 규정하고 있으며, 국외의 경우 하중저항계수설계법에 근간을 둔 AISC(2005) 등의 규정을 통해 산정하고 있다. 최근에는 인장강도 800MPa 급의 강재가 생산되고 있으나 국내 설계기준에서는 아직까지 상기 인장강도를 갖는 고강도강에 대한 설계기준은 마련되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 휨과 전단이 동시에 작용하는 고강도강 적용 플레이트거더의 극한거동 해석을 통해 국내기준의 적용성을 판단하고, 국외기준인 AISC(2005)와 비교하여 나타내어 허용응력설계법에 근거한 국내기준의 강도산정법의 한계점에 대해 고찰하였다.

Currently, high strength steel is not used for steel bridges in Korea, except for the SM570 high strength steel in very isolated cases. The study aimed to promote the active adaptation of high strength steel for long-span steel bridges. Thus, the fatigue behavior of SM570 and POSTEN80 high strength steel was investigated. For the experimental study, the butt welded joints samples were manufactured. Likewise, regular amplitude tensile fatigue tests were conducted. Test results, e.g., location of fatigue cracks and their propagation were compared with the findings of other researchers. After analyzing the effects of fatigue strength, e.g., static tensile strength and plate thickness of base metal, basic data for fatigue design criteria of SM570 and POSTEN80 high strength steel were presented.

Internationally representative steel design standards have forbidden or limited the application of high-strength steels to tubular joints, partly because of concerns about their unique material characteristics such as high yield ratio. Most of design standards stipulate that for steels whose yield strengths exceed 355 or 360 MPa, the strength equations cannot be utilized or strength reduction factor below 1.0 should be multiplied. However, the mechanical background behind these limitations is not clear. Experimental testing of high-strength steel CHS (circular hollow section) X-joints recently conducted by the authors also clearly indicated that the current limitations might be unduly conservative. As a continuing work, extensive, test-validated numerical analyses were made to investigate the behavior of high-strength steel CHS X-joint under axial compression. Three steel grades covering ordinary to very high strength steels were considered in the analysis. Again it was found that the high strength penalty to the joint strength in current standards is too severe and needs to be relaxed. The high-strength steel joints under the effects of chord stress generally showed higher strength than the ordinary steel joints and their strengths were conservatively predicted by current standards. It is also emphasized that current format of the CHS X-joint strength equation does not reflect observed behavior and needs to be recast.

As the height and beam span of buildings built in the construction market increase, increasingly higher quality is being required of the construction materials. In response to this trend, 800MPa tensile strength class steel was developed in domestic company. Currently, experiments applying flexural member, compression member, and connections are continuously conducted, but a design guideline for high strength steel has yet to be established. Among those construction materials, for the high strength steel beam-to-column connections, the evaluation of implementing ductile connections for the high strength steel beam-to-column connections is producing pessimistic results and the number of related researches is inadequate because of the high yield ratio, which is the characteristic of high strength steel. This study on implementation of ductile connections made of high strength steel was conducted using the connection detail as the variable, for the purpose of enhancing the deformation capacity of high strength steel beam-to-column connections. Cyclic loading test and nonlinear finite element analysis were conducted with full-scale mock-up connection models with the applied connection details. As a result, the structural performance of high-strength steel beam-to-column connection with presented detail was contented with demand of Special Moment Frames of KBC standard.

The objective of this study is to investigate the criteria of the width-to-thickness ratio and to evaluate the buckling strength of high strength steel beam-columns and to compare their buckling strength with design codes, which are the Limit State Design code and the Allowable Stress Desogn code(drift). SM520TMC and SM570Q class steels are used for high strength steels. The coupon test and the stub column test were carried out to investigate the properties of high strength steels and the stress-strain curves of stub columns. The buckling strength of high strength steel beam-columns are assessed by numerical analysis used axial force, moment and curvature relationships.

Most of ferrous b.c.c weld materials may experience martensitic transformation during rapid cooling after welding. And it is well known that volume expansion due to phase transformation could influence in the case of welding of high tensile strength steels on the relaxation of welding residual stress. To apply this effect practically, it is a prerequisite to establish a numerical model which is able to estimate the effect of phase transformation on residual stress relaxation quantitatively. In this study, we investigated the effect of phase transformation on the relaxation of welding residual stress through experiment. And three-dimensional thermal elastic-plastic FEM analysis is conducted to reproduce the effect of phase transformation on the relaxation of welding residual stress. Also we carried out the analysis of welding residual stress in welds of similar or dissimilar steels considering the effect of residual stress relaxation due to phase transformation.
