In recent years, many high-rise buildings have been constructed in irregular structural system with inclined columns, which may have effect on the structural behavior of beam-column joints. Since the external load leads to shear and flexural forces on the inclined columns in different way from those on the conventional vertical columns, failure mode, resistant strength, and ductility capacity of the inclined column-beam joints may be different than those of the perpendicular beam-column joints. In this study, six RC inclined beam-column joint specimens were tested. The main parameter of the specimens was the angle between axes of the column and beam (90, 67.5, and 45 degree). Test results indicated that the structural behavior of conventional perpendicular beam-column joint was different to that of the inclined beam-column joints, due to different loading conditions between inclined and perpendicular beam-column joints. Both upper and lower columns of perpendicular beam-column joints were subjected to compressive force, while the upper and lower columns of the inclined beam-column joints were subjected to tensile and compressive forces, respectively.

The behavior of the connection for beam-to-column weak axis connection and its details should be identified. Thus, each element is considered a panel zone, and the horizontal stiffener's presence or absence and position in bracket-type welding connection are used as variables to compare the behavior of strong axis connection and weak axis connection. In this study, the strength of connection is calculated by substituting the simple beam-strengthened vertical stiffeners for connection in the presence of horizontal stiffeners. In the absence of horizontal stiffeners, the strength of connection can be calculated using local flange bending strength considering local web yielding strength, web crippling, and web buckling strength. The results of the theoretical analysis and experiments are compared.

A steel frame is one of the most commonly used structural systems due to its resistance to various types of applied loads. Many studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of several parameters, such as connection flexibility, the boundary condition of each support, and beam-to-column stiffness ratio, on the characteristic behavior of a frame. Based on the results of these studies, several design methods have been proposed. This research focused on the number of bolts on the rotational stiffness of a double-angle connection, and its effect on the story drift of a frame. To achieve these purposes, a simplified analytical model was proposed. Several experimental tests were also conducted to obtain the rotational connection stiffness of each double-angle connection.

An alternative design method for interior flat plate-column connections subjected to punching shear and unbalanced moment was developed. Since the slab-column connections are severely damaged by flexural cracking before punching shear failure, punching shear was assumed to be resisted mainly by the compression zone of the slab critical section. Considering the interaction with the flexural moment of the slab, the punching shear strength of the compression zone was evaluated based on the material failure criteria of concrete subjected to multiple stresses. The punching shear strength was also used to evaluate the unbalanced moment capacity of the slab-column connections. For verification, the proposed strength model was applied to existing test specimens subjected to direct punching shear or combined punching shear and unbalanced moment. The results showed that the proposed method predicted the strengths of the test specimens better than current design methods in ACI 318 and Eurocode 2.

This paper investigates the seismic performance of T-shaped PC walls with a new vertical connections and wet cast joint. The load-displacement relationship, strength, ductility, failure mechanism, and deformation capacity of the T-shaped PC walls subjected to cyclic loading are verified. Test parameter is diagonal reinforcement of both flange and web wall panels to transfer shear strength. The longitudinal reinforcing steel bars placed edges of walls yield first and the ultimate deformation is terminated due to premature failure of connections. And diagonal reinforcements for shear transfer in walls are effective to restrain the wall crack. The strength and displacement obtained by the cross section analysis were very similar to the experimental data.

최근 그린 친환경, 지구온난화방지와 환경 부하물질저감, 기기 고효율화, 연비향상 등의 관점에서 항공기, 자동차 등 운송기계와 휴대용 전자제품 등 경량화가 요구되는 분야에서 경량합금의 사용이 급증하고 있다. 특히, 경량합금 중 가장 가벼운 마그네슘 합금은 최근 주목을 받고 있는 금속재료이다. 그러나 마그네슘합금은 알루미늄합금과는 달리 상온 성형성 및 접합성이 양호하지 않은 관계로 판재를 이용한 구조부품의 제작을 위해서는 많은 연구가 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 마그네슘합금 판재의 마찰 교반 점용접을 시도하였다. CNC 밀링머신을 사용하여 프로브의 회전 및 삽입 속도에 변화를 주어 접합 특성을 평가하였고, 각 변수의 영향을 조사하였다. 적외선 열화상기와 로드셀을 사용하여 마찰 교반 점용접 중에 발생하는 교반부 온도와 접합부에 가해지는 수직부가하중의 거동을 측정하였다. 마찰 교반 점용접 후, 시험편의 접합 상태와 접합부 단면 관찰을 통해 접합 상태를 조사하였다. 그리고 인장전단 실험을 실시하여 마찰 교반 점용접된 시혐편의 접합강도를 평가하였고, 파단된 시험편의 파면을 관찰하였다.

The purpose of this study is to spread beam plastic hinging zone of the high-strength($f'_c=700kg/cm^2$) reinforced concrete beam-column joints away from the column face by vertically anchored intermediate reinforcements. The newly proposed intermediate reinforcements which are vertically anchored by interlinking each intermediate rebars are tested to insure the ductile behavior of R /C beam-column joins. Main variable is the shape of intermediate reinforcements. From the test results, the newly proposed intermediate rebar detail can move arid expand the beam plastic hinging zone about 1.Od from column face and can delay the strength decay of the high-strength R /C beam-column joint. Also energy dissipation capacity of specimen IV-1.OD10 which is reinforced by vertically anchored intermediate rebars about 1.0d is 1.6 times as high as the specimen CM-STAN which is designed by ACI318-89.

Employing the classical beam theory for the design of welded steel moment connections has been brought into question by several researchers since the 1994 Northridge earthquake. In this study, the load transfer mechanism in various welded steel moment connections is comprehensively reviewed mainly based on recent studies conducted by the writer. Available analytical and experimental results showed that the load path in almost all the welded steel moment connections is completely different from that as predicted by the classical beam theory. Vertical plates near the connection such as the beam web, the web of the straight haunch, and the rib act as a strut rather than following the classical beam theory. The shear force transfer in the RBS connection is essentially the same as that in PN type connection. Some simplified analytical models that can be used as the basis of a practical design procedure are also presented.

The dynamic behavior of spatial structures is different depending on the aspect ration of arch structure, as the rise-span ratio or open-angle, and these spatial structures show differently the character of seismic response in accordance with stiffness and connection of the lower support structures that are directly influenced by earthquake. Therefore, in this paper, dynamic analysis is conducted for seismic response of single layer arch structures by the influence of column's stiffness and connection, to reflect the different vertical and horizontal vibration mode of single layer arch structures. The vertical response of single layer arch structures is more influence by lower columns and the influence of column's connection rotational stiffness is not large, except to the hinged connections.

This paper represents the behavior of CFT column to H-beam full-scale connection with external T-stiffener. 6 specimens whose T-stiffeners which are compounded of vertical element and horizontal element were made under the parameter of the strength ratio of each elements(vertical element and horizontal element in T-stiffener) to the beam full plastic moment. The analysis-parameters demonstrated in the base of the data that we get in experiment are strength stiffness, and plastic rotational capacity. All of specimen showed stable hysteretic behavior, and the horizontal element is more critical than vertical element in strength and stiffness. The mean beam plastic rotation of all specimen except the TS-2 specimen is 2.97% rad.
