This study presents a simple method to improve the bond performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams having high-strength shear reinforcement. In general, the yield strength and the ratio of shear reinforcements are the main parameters governing the shear capacity of RC beams. The yield strength of shear reinforcement, however, has little influence on the bond capacity of RC beams. Therefore, a sudden bond failure of the members with high-strength shear reinforcement can occur before flexural failure. To estimate the structural performance of the proposed method, four RC beams were cast and tested. The main test parameters were the yield strength, ratio, and reinforcing types of shear reinforcements. The experimental results indicated that the proposed method was able to effectively improve the bond performance of RC beams with high-strength shear reinforcement.

Recently, a concern to verify the displacement capacity of shear wall has been arised to produce suitable data for the performance based design. In this paper, a process is presented to evaluate the displacement capacity of shear wall. The displacement of shear wall is expressed as the superposition of shear and flexural deformation. Variable crack angle truss model with a modification and sectional analysis method are used in calculating shear and flexural displacement, respectively. In addition, the effect of axial force and the contribution of vertical and horizontal reinforcements in wall are considered in the analysis. The accuracy of proposed method is evaluated by the comparison calculation results with previous test results. From the comparison, it was shown that the hysteretic behavior of shear wall could be well predicted by using the process. In the case with flange wall, however, the method overestimates the contribution of flange wall for strength and stiffness and underestimates for displacement capacity.

Most connections for the glulam structural members consisted of connector and fastener. The mechanical behaviour of the connection can be occurred by the dowel bearing resistance and wood shear by the fastener. This study aims at the examination of the shear properties for the small specimen with lamination components and for the full-sized pin connection and the moment resisting property for the double shear full-sized pin connection using structural column and beam members. Small specimens including glue line shows greater density and shear strength by the lamination effect than other specimens. It is needed that estimations of double shear property and moment resistance for the pin connections should be adjusted in some degree. For the better and safe estimation of moment resistance strength for the column-beam pin connection, however, the shear strength of small specimens should be deducted by 10%.

Experimental investigation on the structural behavior of steel fiber-reinforced ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) beams subjected to shear are presented. Six tests carried out on simply supported I-beams under concentrated loads are presented. The parameters varied were the volume fraction of the fibers (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%) and shear span-effective depth ratio (2.5, 3.4). The test results indicated that ultimate shear strength increased with increasing fiber volume, and that ultimate shear strength decreased with increasing shear span-effective depth ratio. In addition, applicability of predictive equations for evaluating the ultimate shear strength of steel fiber-reinforced UHPC beams are estimated based on the test results. The comparison between computed values and the experimentally observed values are shown to validate the proposed theoretical equations. It is found that predictions by using AFGC and JSCE recommendations provide the most accurate estimates of shear strength of steel fiber-reinforced UHPC beams.

In this study, the use of a steel yielding damper is considered as an appropriate method to enhance the behavior of CBFs and a steel damper which is economical and straightforward to construct and replace after a severe earthquake is developed. The proposed damper was investigated experimentally and numerically. In addition, a parametric study was performed to evaluate the effect of the three types of damper mechanisms (shear, shear-flexural, and flexural) on the behavior of the proposed damper. The experimental results, as well as the numerical results, indicate that the shear damper exhibits better performance than the other dampers in terms of strength and stiffness.

액체금속로의 안전성과 경제성을 향상시키는데 중요한 요소로 부각된 면진설계기술을 개발하기 위하여 고감쇠 면진베어링의 축소모델을 제작하고, 성능확인을 위한 다양한 시험을 실시하였다. 면진베어링의 성능을 나타내는 전단강성, 감쇠특성, 항복하중특성값, 전단변형능력 등에 대한 시험결과 전단강성은 목표값에 비하여 작았지만 감쇠값과 전단변형은 목표값에 근접하였다. 이를 이용한 면진 원자로건물의 지진응답을 분석한 결과 면진베어링은 건물의 지진응답 가속도를 대폭 줄여주는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flexural and shear capacity of steel wire-integrated void deck plate slabs. In order to evaluate flexural and shear capacity, we make five 150mmspecimens and three 200mmspecimens by slab depth as main variable. Each series of specimen is comprised of an existing steel wire-integrated deck-plate slab and two specimens using topping depth as variable. From the series of experiments, steel wire-integrated void deck plate slabs has any decline in flexural and shear performance. Therefore, a void-deck-plate slab which inserts Omega-steel plate showed reducing a using concrete-volume and had flexural and shear capacity following existing steel wire-integrated deck-plate.

Steel fibers are recently well recognized for good composite/strengthening materials because of their ductile behavior and good performance on crack control and shear behavior compared to concrete materials. Especially, the great improvement in shear strength by steel fibers led researchers to be involved in many experimental studies. However, our understanding on the complex shear behavior of the steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) members are still very limited, and the fundamental test data are also not enough. In this study, therefore, 4 SFRC specimens were fabricated and tested, from which the effectiveness of steel fibers as shear reinforcement were evaluated. The test results shows that the shear strength of SFRC members increases as the amount of steel fibers increases.

Purpose: This study proposes a casing type of shear key to connect with floating breakwater modules composed of concrete and PE(Poly Ethylene), and evaluates the structural performance of the shear key. Method: According to Eurocode, extreme load tests of shear keys with several cross-sections were conducted. Result: The maximum shear resistance of the casing type is 1.5 times than those of the plain concrete type, and the use of the casing shear key leads to ductile behaviors after its peak shear resistance than the shear key made of reinforced concrete. Conclusion: The use of the proposed casing type of shear key will contributes to improve the safety of the shear connection between modular structures.

Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) is distinguished from the normal concrete by outstanding compressive and tensile strength. Cracked normal concrete resists shear by aggregate interlocking while clamped by transverse reinforcement, which is called as shear friction theory. Cracked UHPFRC is expected to have a different shear transfer mechanism due to rather smooth crack face and post-cracking behavior under tensile force. Twenty-four push-off specimens with transverse reinforcement are tested for four different fiber volume ratio and three different ratio of reinforcement along the shear plane. The shear friction strength for monolithic concrete are suggested by limit analysis of plasticity and verified by test results. Plastic analysis gives a conservative, but reasonable estimate. The suggested shear friction factor and effectiveness factor of UHPFRC can be applied for interface shear transfer design of high-strength concrete and fiber reinforced concrete with post-cracking tensile strength.
