최근에 수행된 철골모멘트 접합부의 실험 및 해석결과에 의하면, 기둥으로 각형강관을 가진 접합부가 H형강을 기둥으로 사용하는 접합부에 실험체에 비해서 조기에 스캘럽 단부에서 취성파단이 발생하는 열등한 변형능력을 나타냈다. 이는 각형강관 기둥의 면외변형에 따른 보 웨브의 모멘트 전달효율의 저하, 스캘럽이 가지는 노치효과 및 합성보의 구속효과가 주요원인으로 밝혀졌다. 실험결과는 또한 개선된 수평스티프너로 하부 플랜지를 보강한 실험체는 우수한 변형능력을 가짐을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 영향을 고려하여, 다양한 수평스티프너로 보강된 접합부에 관한 유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 해석결과를 바탕으로 파일럿 테스트를 실시한 결과, 수평스티프너로 보강된 RBS 접합부 (SR)와 연장된 수평스티프너를 가진 접합부(LH)는 우수한 변형능력을 보였다.

Some methods are presented to estimate the ultimate lateral resistance of single active piles subjected to lateral loads above the ground surface, considering the lateral soil reaction, the pile length and the fixity condition of a pile head. The lateral soil reaction acting on a single active pile embedded in soil due to pile movement can be estimated by use of a theoretical equation which is derived by considering especially the plastic state of ground surrounding the pile and the pile- section shape. The piles are named short or long depending upon the relative magnitude of the induced bending moment to the yielding moment. As for the fixity condition of a pile head, the free head and the unrotated head are considered. Comparison with other experimental results gives that the calculated ultimate lateral resistance obtained by the author's theory is closer to experimental results than the one obtained by Brom's theory.

In this paper, the existing formulas of the step-by-step method were generalized for effective estimation of responses of complicated composite sections due to long-term deformation of concrete. The initial transformed section properties of the composite section were derived from material and section properties of concrete section and sections which confine the longterm deformation of concrete. The transformed section properties at each step were derived from the effective modulus of elasticity considered the creep coefficient variation. Improved formulas of the step-by-step method for generalized responses were derived by introducing 5 generalized parameters. The formulas can be more simplified by applying constant increment of creep coefficient at each step. The constant increment of creep coefficient at each step can also reduce computing time and make equal computing error of each step. The generalized responses for axial elastic strain of concrete section were most sensitive to the area rate of concrete section, and the ratio of the second moment of the confining section area was more sensitive than that of the concrete section. Those for elastic curvature of concrete section were most sensitive to the ratio of the second moment of concrete section area.

Column tests were performed for a new type of column, the internally confined hollow concrete filled tube column (ICH CFT column), to evaluate its seismic performance. The seismic performances for two types of ICH CFT columns and a general solid RC column were evaluated and compared by quasi-static tests. The displacements and the lateral loads of column specimens were measured during tests. Ductilities, absorbed energy, equivalent damping ratios, damage indices were calculated from recorded data. From the test results, the ICH CFT column shows superior seismic performances with double moment capacity and larger energy absorbing capacity over that of a solid RC column.

A nonlinear analysis model for internally confined hollow concrete-filled tube (ICH CFT) columns was suggested and was verified by the test results obtained by the previous researchers. The suggested model considered the confining effect and nonlinearity of concrete. The verified results showed that the suggested model was reasonable and reliable for predicting the behavior of an ICH CFT column. Additionally, a simple parametric study was carried out. The strength of concrete, the hollow ratio of a column, and the thickness of an inner tube were selected as parameters affecting the behavior of an ICH CFT column. The analysis results showed that the concrete strength and the thickness of the inner tube affect the axial strength and moment capacity of the column while the hollow ratio affects only its axial strength.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of transverse reinforcement in reinforced concrete tied columns subjected to monotonically increasing axial compression. Eighteen large-scale columns(260$\times$260$\times$1200 mm) were tested. Effects of main variables such as the concrete compressive strength, the tie configuration, the transverse reinforcement ratio, the tie spacing, and the spatting of the concrete cover were considered. High-strength concrete columns under concentric axial loads show extremely brittle behavior unless the columns are confined with transverse reinforcement that can provide sufficiently high lateral confinement pressure There is a consistent decrease in deformability of column specimen with increasing concrete strength. Test results were compared with the previous confinement model such as modified Kent-Park, Sheikh-Uzumeri, Mander, and Saatcioglu-Razvi model. The comparison indicates that many previous models for confined concrete overestimate or underestimate the ductility of confined concrete.

Structural analysis used to evaluate the load carrying capacity of a bridge should implement behavioral characteristics similar to the actual behaviors of the structure through loading tests, but it is not feasible in many cases due to the behavioral characteristics of points, inadequate modeling method in structural analysis, errors in loading tests, changes in strength and rigidity resulting from cross-sectional damage, etc. This problem can be more serious if bridge bearings have been damaged or were not installed and, consequently, the bearings do not function properly. This study produced results similar to actual behaviors using a structural analysis model built with support moment derived from the difference $\Delta{\delta}$ between measured deflection obtained by confining the cantilever segment of a solid beam and calculated deflection under a unrestrained condition. When the load carrying capacity of a bridge in operation was evaluated in consideration of the confinement condition of supports, the result was 15~19% lower than load carrying capacity calculated by the existing method.

This study describes the three-dimensional behavior of pile foundations based on a numerical study. A series of numerical analyses were performed for connectivity conditions between piles and cap under vertical and lateral loadings. It is shown that a fixed connection between pile and cap is able to transfer significant bending moment through the connection and increases the pile lateral stiffness and the bending moment. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the cross sectional shear force in the raft with fixed head condition was larger than that of pinned head condition. Thus, the reinforcement of pile head and thickness of the raft also increases in fixed pile head condition. From the results, it is found that the overall behavior and cross sectional forces of pile foundations is affected significantly by the pile head conditions. Furthermore, the design of pile foundations with pinned head condition was judged to be less costly and very useful for preliminary design stages.

This paper presents moment-curvature analytical method of concrete filled steel tubular members considering intensity increase phenomenon by triaxial compression stress generation. For this purpose, this study considers buckling characteristics about compression department of steel members that filled up light weight and normal concrete. The analytical results are compared with the test results. Even if beam that filled up light weight concrete was calculated moment-curvature relationship easily analytically and could know that analytical results estimates as well agreed with the test results in case filled up normal concrete. In addition, the efficiency and applicabilities of the proposed moment curvature relationship algorithm are verified through conventional experimental results.

This paper describes an analytical study on the design approach of PC system with continuous connections at member ends. In multi-ribbed moment resisting slab (MRS) system, double tee members are connected continuously over inverted tee beams with the continuous reinforcements placed within topping concrete. Thus, negative moments are concentrated within the narrow connection area. In order to propose a design method, experimental results of the companion study were examined using detailed nonlinear analysis. Then nonlinear static analysis was used to evaluate the partial continuity effect and the moment redistribution mechanism. Material and cross sectional properties were obtained from experimental results of the companion study. Plastic hinge properties for nonlinear static analysis were modeled with cracking moment, nominal moment, corresponding member deformations, etc. The analysis results showed that a large amount of negative moment of MRS slab can be reduced by applying partial continuity and moment redistribution in MRS joint.
