Recently, there has been an increased interest in the noise isolation capacity of floor slabs, and thus an increase of slab thickness is required. In addition, long span floor systems are frequently used for efficient space use of building structures. In order to satisfy these requirements, a biaxial hollow slab system has been developed. To verify the structural capacity of a biaxial hollow slab system, safety verification against earthquake loads is essential. Therefore, the seismic behavior of a biaxial hollow slab system has been investigated using material nonlinear time history analyses. For efficient time history analyses, the equivalent plate element model previously proposed was used and the seismic capacity of the example structure having a biaxial hollow slab system has been evaluated using the nonlinear finite element model developed by the equivalent frame method. Based on analytical results, it has been shown that the seismic capacity of a biaxial hollow slab system is not worse than that of a flat plate slab system with the same thickness.

The shear behavior of reinforced concrete structure is one of difficult problems that are not clearly identified theoretically despite the efforts of researchers for several years. Since bending and shear strength of hollow slab may decrease due to hollow part inside slab, prediction of such structure performance is very important. Presently the formulas of shear designing standard expressions of each country are formulas by experiment for hollow slab. In this study, the shear behavior of one-way hollow slab by reinforcement ratio were analyzed through experiment to conduct studying on estimation of shear strength, and then shear strength formulas of hollow slab were compared and analyzed.

This paper presents the shear capacities of biaxial hollow slab with donut type hollow sphere. Recently, various types of slab systems which can reduce self-weight of slabs have been studied for increasing constructions of taller and larger building structures. A biaxial hollow slab system is widely known as one of the effective slab system, which can reduce self-weight of slab. According to previous studies, the hollow slab has low shear strength, compared to solid slab. Also, the shear capacities of biaxial hollow slab are influenced by the shapes and materials of hollow spheres. However, the current code does not provide a clear computation method for the shear strength of hollow slab. To verify the shear capacities of this hollow slab, one-way shear tests were performed. Four test specimens were used for test parameters. One was conventional RC slab and others were hollow slabs. The test parameters included two different shapes and materials of plastic balls. The shape parameters were donut and non-donut forms and the material parameters were general plastic and glass fiber plastic. The results showed that the shear strengths varied depending on hollow shapes and materials used in the slab.

금속 다공체는 자동차, 선박, 건축 등의 분야에서 구조물이나 충격흡수제 등으로 응용되고 있는데 이들은 일반 금속 구조물에 비해 가볍고 플라스틱에비해서는 강한 장점을 지닌다. 현재 사용되고 있는 대부분의 금속 다공체는 발포 주조공정으로 제조된 알루미늄으로서, 철계 합금에 비해 가벼운 장점을 갖지만 강도가 상당히 떨어지고 가격이 높은 단점을 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 대신 철계 합금으로 다공체를 제조하고자 하였고 제조방법으로는 주조공정 대신 분말공정을선택하였다. 분말공정은 구형 스티로폼을 금속분말 슬러리로 코팅한 후 스티로폼을 제거하여 낱개의 금속중공체(Metallic Hollow Sphere)를 제조하고 이렇게 제조된 중공체를 뭉쳐 성형함으로써최종 형상의 다공체를 제조하는 방법이다. 이 방법으로 제조된 다공체는 주조공정으로 제조된 다공체보다높은 강도를 나타내며 낱개의 중공체는 성형공정을 거치지 않고 필터나 충진재 등의 새로운 용도로 활용될 수 있다.

Composite draw textured yarns(DTY) and air jet textured yarns(ATY) with hollow PET filament have been used for making high emotional fabrics including light weight sports wear garments. This study investigated effect of hollow composite yarns and fabric structural parameters to the comfort properties related to the moisture and thermal transport phenomena for the composite fabrics made of DTY and ATY with hollow PET filament. Wicking property of hollow composite fabric was superior at the high pore size fabric and was not influenced by fabric cover factor. Wicking property of the fabric with ATY was better than that of the fabric with DTY. On the other hand, drying rate of fine pore sized fabric was shorter than that of large pore sized fabric and drying rate of high multi yarn fabric with low cover factor and small pore size was superior than that of hollow composite fabric. The pore size of the fabric was dominant factor in the air permeability and thermal conductivity of hollow composite fabric. High pore sized fabric showed high air permeability and thermal conductivity of hollow composite fabric was nonlinearly inversely proportional to pore size of the fabric.

There is a growing range of applications for concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) member because of its superior performance. But a CFT member may be uneconomical or has weight problems because it is fully filled with concrete. In this study, a new type of member, called internally confined hollow (ICH) CFT member, was developed to solve the high cost and weight problems of the CFT member. To determine stress-strain model of the concrete in an ICH CFT column, possible failure modes of an ICH CFT column were suggested and confining pressure was derived from equilibriums for each failure mode. From the derived equations, a computer program was coded and parametric studies were performed for some examples. Analytical results showed that internally confined concrete has enhanced strength and ductility compared with those of unconfined or biaxially confined concrete.

In locations where the cost of concrete is relatively high or in situations where the weight of concrete members has to be kept to a minimum, it may be more economical to use hollow reinforced concrete vertic al members. Hollow reinforced concrete colun-ms with a low axial load, a moderate longitudinal steel percentage and a reasonably thick wall were found to perform in a ductile manner at the flexural strength, similar to solid columns. Hollow reinforced concrete columns with a high axial load, a high longitudinal steel percentage, and a thin wall were found, however, to behave in a brittle manner at the flexural strength, since the neutral axis is forced to occur away from the inside face of the tube towards the section centroid and, as a result, crushing of concrete occurs near the unconfined inside face of the section. If, however, a steel tube is placed near the inside face of a circular hollow column, the column can be expected not to fail in a brittle manner through the disintegration of the concrete in the compression zone. A design recommendation and example through the moment-curvature analysis program for curvature ductility are herein presented. A theoretical moment-curvature analysis for reinforced concrete columns, indicating the available flexural strength and ductility, can be conducted, providing that the stress-strain relation for the concrete and steel are known. In this paper, a unified stress-stain model for confined concrete by Mander is developed foi members with circular sections.

A nonlinear column model of an internally confined hollow (ICH) reinforced concrete (RC) column was suggested and a parametric study was performed. The suggested column model considered the confining effect and the material nonlinearity of concrete. To verify the suggested column model, its analysis results were compared with the test results from previous researchers and a quasi static test performed in this study. They showed that the suggested column model was reasonable and had acceptable accuracy. The results from parametric studies showed that the thickness of the internal tube, concrete strength, and the hollow ratio of the ICH RC column affected its behavior.

Recently, Construction Business, is changing very quickly, exceedingly needs to slim down the construction expensive by reducing material costs and the term of works. The term of formwork takes 25% of the term of works and costs 15% to 20% of the cost of construction. Hereupon, the purpose of this study is to investigate the Axial Strength of Centrifugall Formed Shell PC Columns that can reduce the term of formwork, the costs of material, the difficulty of throwing away the waste. Shell PC Column is loaded stirrups and manufactured at factory, so it has good points like construction's quality control and part's precision. However, it needs to be tested for checking bonded ability because it is set up at core and coverd with concrete. therefore this study is necessary three type of columns, which are a RC column, different type of two compressive strength core concrete columns and a Shell PC Column. By three columns, this study compare with and analysis three columns's bonded and Compressive Behavior abilities.

In recent the construction of bridges having hollow sectional piers is gradually increasing since the hollow section is more effective than solid section in resistance against seismic load. It is, therefore, very important to understand the behavior of columns with hollow sections in seismic design. However, many past researches were concentrated only on the flexural deformability of them. In this study the shear characteristics of them have been studied with scale model tests. 7 models having different void and aspect ratios were designed and tested to investigate the effect of them on shear capacities. And then the validity of empirical equations to predict shear capacity was investigated compared with the test results. The test result 80 percent of the valid area of cross section should be adequate. And compared to the proposed four model the experimental shear capacities are in good agreement with the UCB.
