This paper presents the test results and evaluations for the energy dissipation capacity and compressive performance of light-weight hybrid panels. A total of 26 full-scale specimens of light-weight hybrid panels were tested. The parameters include the presence of light-weight foamed mortar, the specific gravity of light-weight foamed mortar (0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2), the finishing materials (light-weight foamed mortar, OSB [Oriented Strand Board], gypsum board), the shape of bracing (x, ~), and the size of panels (1P-900 mm 2,400 mm, 2P-1,800 mm 2,400 mm). The results of the cyclic tests are somewhat different from those of monotonic tests, due to the different specific gravity of light-weight foamed mortar. It was found from the compressive tests that the ultimate strength and initial stiffness are increased by means of light-weight foamed mortar (2~2.5 times in ultimate strength and 2~3 times in initial stiffness).

Column tests subjected to compressive loading were carried out for the estimation of compression buckling strength of steel plate SM570 in beam-column member under high axial load. It was found that the maximum strength of column member was determined by local buckling when satisfied with a limit of width-to-thickness ratio in current steel structure design specifications, but decreased suddenly by local buckling before the maximum strength in case of not satisfying with that ratio. Also, the compression buckling strength of SM570 plate was higher than the design specification value of 4$4.1tonf/cm^2$.

일반적으로 고전압의 절연물로 사용되어 지고 있는 gas를 고기압으로 압축하여 사용하므로써 그 압력에 비례하여 절연내력을 증가시킬 수 있다는 사실을 알고 있다. 따라서 전력계통에서 그 사용전압이 점차 초고전압화 됨에 따라 그에 따른 절연물로써 압축가스의 이용이 증가일로에 있으며 어떤 압축가스를 사용하므로서 높은 절연내력을 얻을 수 있음은 물론이거니와 열적으로 안정하며 전도성이 좋고 또한 교류송전선로에 이용될때는 Corona가 발생하는 가능성도 적으며 유전손실도 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 특히 이러한 압축가스는 고전압발생장치, 고전압변환장치 및 고전압용 개폐기등의 절연에 상당히 많이 사용되고 있으며 5기압 정도의 부성기체는 고전압변압기나 Compact Substation의 절연물로써 점차 이용이 증가되고 있다.

The current design practice of an electric transmission tower is based on the allowable stress design. Design strengths of the electric transmission tower's compression member are determined by buckling the strength of the member itself without considering joint strength. There is a possibility of a joint failure prior to the buckling of a member. Therefore, in this study, joint strength is calculated for various member forces, and the shape of joint and database of strength were established. These data was compared with the member strength obtained from previous research studies based on an equivalent nonlinear analysis technique. Finally, practical evaluation and design method to distinguish failure mode in an electric transmission tower member is proposed.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the structural behavior of concrete filled steel tubular columns subjected to eccentric load. With experiment and analytical study, the buckling behavior of columns is investigated and compared with each other to the view of main parameters. Appling foreign standards in the experimental results, we suggested new strength formula of concrete-filled steel tubular columns. The parameters are slenderness, eccentric ratio, and concrete filled or not. The experiment are carried out by simple loading.

This study investigates the axial behavior of CFRP strengthened circular CFT columns and proposes the design formula of CFRP strengthened circular CFT columns. 10 specimens were prepared and axial loading test were conducted to investigate the retrofitting effects of CFRP composites on CFT columns. The main parameters are the number of FRP sheets and D/t ratio. Test results showed that the CFRP retrofitting enhanced the load bearing capacity of the circular CFT columns. Finally, A ACI 440 code applied ultimate axial strength formula is proposed to predict the ultimate strength of CFRP strengthened circular CFT columns. The proposed formula are good agreement with the test results.

This study examined the effect of transverse reinforcement and compressive stress on the shear friction performance at the shear interface intersecting two structural elements with various concrete types. From the prepared 12 push-off test specimens, various characteristics at the interface were measured as follows: crack propagation, shear load-relative slip relationship, initial shear cracking strength, ultimate shear friction strength, and shear transfer capacity of transverse reinforcement. The configuration of transverse reinforcement and compressive strength of concrete insignificantly influenced the amount of relative slippage at the shear friction plane. With the increase of applied compressive stress, the shear friction capacity of concrete tended to increase proportionally, whereas the shear transfer capacity of transverse reinforcement decreased, which was insignificantly affected by the configuration type of transverse reinforcement. The empirical equations of AASHTO-LRFD and Mattock underestimate the shear friction strength of concrete, whereas Hwang and Yang model provides better reliability, indicating that the mean and standard deviation of the ratios between measured shear strengths and predictions are 1.02 and 0.23, respectively.

The axial strength of existing RC columns were experimentally investigated in this paper to understand the strength characteristics of existing structural members and to get a appropriate data in strengthening design of RC members in a remodelling construction. Ten RC columns were prepared by being cut and extracted directly from the demolition site of the apartment housings. Each column was tested under uniaxial loadings with different eccentricities in order to evaluate the axial strength of existing RC columns. From the test results, it was found that axial strength of all the specimens were at least 75% higher than those of the theoretical values required by current code. But member displacement ductility ratio were relatively low ranging from 2.12~5.86.

There is a great need for high-strength steel especially for the high-rise steel building structure. High-strength steels, however, may have mechanical properties that are significantly different from those of the conventional steels. The application of high-strength steels to building structures should be reviewed as to whether the inelastic behavior equivalent to that of conventional steels can be attained or not. In this study, SM570TMC steel was tested to evaluate buckling strength under axial compressive force. The comparison tests for local buckling strength evaluation of box-type and H-shaped welded columns were performed with variable width-thickness ratios. As for the experimental check, the maximum strength of stub column was determined by local buckling as far as the limit of width-to-thickness ratio was satisfied with current design codes. Also, the strength of the stub column did not decrease suddenly by local buckling before maximum strength even when the ratio is not satisfied. The buckling strength of SM570TMC steel was higher than both ASD (Allowable Stress Design) and LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) specifications.

This paper presents the results of an experiment comparing the current circular CFT columns and circular CFT columns that were additionally confined by carbon fiber sheets (CFS) under axial loading. The main experimental parameters are the numbers of CFS layers and the diameter-to-thickness ratio. 10 specimens were prepared according to the experimental parameter plans, and axial compression tests were conducted. From the tests, the failure procedure, load-axial deformation curve, maximum axial strength, and deformation capacity of the CFT columns and confined CFT columns were compared. The test results showed that the maximum axial strengths of CFT columns additionally confined by CFS are increased higher than those of the current CFT columns, and that local buckling can be delayed due to the confinement effect of CFS.
