Steel storage racks are slender structures whose overall behavior and the capacity depend largely on the flexural behavior of the base-plate to upright connections and on the behavior of beam-to-column connections. The base-plate upright connection assembly details, anchor bolt position in particular, associated with the high-rise steel storage racks differ from those of normal height steel storage racks. Since flexural behavior of high-rise rack base connection is hitherto unavailable, this investigation experimentally establishes the flexural behavior of base-plate upright connections of high-rise steel storage racks. This investigation used an enhanced test setup and considered nine groups of three identical tests to investigate the influence of factors such as axial load, base plate thickness, anchor bolt size, bracket length, and upright thickness. The test observations show that the base-plate assembly may significantly influence the overall behavior of such connections. A rigid plate analytical model and an elastic plate analytical model for the overall rotations stiffness of base-plate upright connections with concentric anchor bolts were constructed, and were found to give better predictions of the initial stiffness of such connections. Analytical model based parametric studies highlight and quantify the interplay of components and provide a means for efficient maximization of overall rotational stiffness of concentrically anchor bolted high-rise rack base-plate upright connections.

본 연구에서는 기존 소규모 철골조에서 나타나는 현장상세 노출형 주각부와 이를 보완한 상세를 가진 약축방향 주각부에 대한 반복 가력 실험을 통해 다양한 상세를 가진 약축방향 노출형 주각부의 내진성능을 평가하였다. 실험변수는 베이스 플레이트의 두께, 앵커볼트의 개수와 매립깊이, 그리고 리브 플레이트의 유무이다. 앵커볼트의 부착성능이 주각부 내진성능에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 본 연구에서는 원형강봉과 나사산이 있는 L형 갈고리 앵커볼트를 사용하였다. 실험결과, 앵커볼트의 부착성능과 베이스 플레이트의 항복유무는 주각부의 에너지 소산능력에 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 베이스 플레이트가 현행 기준에서 제시하고 있는 최소 두께를 만족하더라도 강재 기둥이 소성모멘트에 도달하기 전 베이스 플레이트가 항복할 경우, 주각부의 구조성능이 저하될 수 있는 소지가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 현행 구조기준에 따라 접합부 성능을 조사한 결과, 제안된 약축방향 주각부 상세는 부분 강접합으로 가정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 기존의 원형강봉에 비해 부착성능이 우수한 나사산이 있는 L형 갈고리 앵커볼트는 반강접 노출형 주각부에 사용가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Non-monolithic concrete structural connections are commonly used both in new constructions and retrofitted structures where anchors are used for connections. Often, flaws are present in anchor system due to poor workmanship and deterioration; and methods available to check the quality of the composite system afterward are very limited. In case of presence of flaw, load transfer mechanism inside the anchor system is severely disturbed, and the load carrying capacity drops drastically. This raises the question of safety of the entire structural system. The present study proposes a wave propagation technique to assess the integrity of the anchor system. A chemical anchor (embedded in concrete) composite system comprising of three materials viz., steel (anchor), polymer (adhesive) and concrete (base) is considered for carrying out the wave propagation studies. Piezoelectric transducers (PZTs) affixed to the anchor head is used for actuation and the PZTs affixed to the surrounding concrete surface of the concrete-anchor system are used for sensing the propagated wave through the anchor interface to concrete. Experimentally validated finite element model is used to investigate three types of composite chemical anchor systems. Studies on the influence of geometry, material properties of the medium and their distribution, and the flaw types on the wave signals are carried out. Temporal energy of through time domain differentiation is found as a promising technique for identifying the flaws in the multi-layered composite system. The present study shows a unique procedure for monitoring of inaccessible but crucial locations of structures by using wave signals without baseline information.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the seismic performance of exposed column-base plate strong-axis connections for small-sized steel buildings. Even though the seismic design for small-sized buildings became mandatory since Dec.2017, the arbitrary connection details in steel structure have been applied at the construction site, which is considered to be very insufficient to secure structural safety and stability considering the increased seismic risk. Therefore, a series of experimental test programs had been carried out to develop enhanced connection details in order to ensue the adequate seismic safety of small buildings. The hysteretic behavior of the exposed column-base plate connections commonly used in Korea seem to be very pure poor due to the "Rocking" phenomena between anchor plate and concrete by the residual plastic deformation of anchor bolts. A series of hysteretic tests were conducted to find the solution to overcome the "Rocking" phenomena of the exposed column-base plate connections, finally the stable seismic behavior was obtained by uisng at least 8 anchor bolts with good bonding strength to the protptype specimen.

Column base connections are critical components in steel structures because they transfer axial forces, shear forces and moments to the foundation. Exposed column bases are quite commonly used in low- to medium-rise buildings. To investigate shear transfer in exposed column base plates, four large scale specimens were subjected to a combination of axial load (compression or tension) and lateral shear deformations. The main parameters examined experimentally include the number of anchor rod, arrangement of anchor rod, type of lateral loading, and axial force ratio. It is observed that the shear resisting mechanism of exposed column base changed as the axial force changed. When the axial force is in compression, the resisting mechanism is rotation type, and the shear force will be resisted by friction force between base plate and mortar layer. The specimens could sustain inelastic deformation with minimal strength deterioration up to column rotation angle of 3%. The moment resistance and energy dissipation will be increased as the number of anchor rods increased. Moreover, moment resistance could be further increased if the anchor rods were arranged in details. When the axial force is in tension, the resisting mechanism is slip type, and the shear force will be resisted by the anchor rods. And the shear resistance was reduced significantly when the axial force was changed from compression to tension. The test results indicated that the current design approach could estimate the moment resistance within reasonable acceptance, but overestimate the shear resistance of exposed column base.

Anchor channels are commonly used for façade, tunnel, and structural connections. These connections encounter various types of loadings during their service life, including high rate or impact loading. For anchor channels that are placed close and parallel to an edge and loaded in shear perpendicular to and towards the edge, the failure is often governed by concrete edge breakout. This study investigates the transverse shear behavior of the anchor channels under quasi-static and high rate loadings using a numerical approach (3D finite element analysis) utilizing a rate-sensitive microplane model for concrete as constitutive law. Following the validation of the numerical model against a test performed under quasi-static loading, the rate-sensitive static, and rate-sensitive dynamic analyses are performed for various displacement loading rates varying from moderately high to impact. The increment in resistance due to the high loading rate is evaluated using the dynamic increase factor (DIF). Furthermore, it is shown that the failure mode of the anchor channel changes from global concrete edge failure to local concrete crushing due to the activation of structural inertia at high displacement loading rates. The research outcomes could be valuable for application in various types of connection systems where a high rate of loading is expected.

For the bolster type bogie, bolster anchor body connections are proviede to transmit the longitudinal loads for traction or braking between the carbody and the truck. The bolster anchor body connection is generally composed of anchor rod bracket, anchor rod and its fastening devices. The bolster anchor body connection shall be basically capable of withstanding a longitudinal load resulting from excessive braking case or impact. Additionally the north America standard requires that the anchor rod bracket shall be frangible, I.e. the anchor rod bracket shall fail and fall away under load before the carbody structure is damaged since to protect the cabody structure in the event of unexpected accident. This paper describes the shear connection design using the optimized mechanical fasteners in the bolster anchor body connection to satisfy these Northe America requirements.

Generally, a box tube, which is used for an existing square CFT structure, is made by welding four plates. The manufacturing efficiency of this steel tube is poor, and it also needs special welding technology to weld its internal diaphragm and the through diaphragm. Therefore, an interior-anchor-type square steel tube was developed using the method of cold-forming thin plates to prevent welding of the stress concentration position, and to maximize the section efficiency. And, considering of the flow of beam flange load, the efficiency of erection and the weldability of the diaphragm to thin walled steel column, the external diaphragm connection was selected as the suitable type for the welded built-up square CFT column to beam connection. And, an analytical study and tests were conducted to evaluate the structural performance of the suggested connection details and to verify the suggested equations for the connection details. Through this study, the composite effect of the internal anchor to concrete, the resistance and stress distribution of the connections before and after the existing column is welded to the beam, the effective location of welding in connection were analyzed.

소규모 철골조건축물의 접합상세에 대한 현장조사에 따르면 지진하중에 의한 횡적 안전성 및 안정성 확보가 불충분할 것으로 예상되는 임의 접합상세가 현장에서 적용되는 것으로 조사되었다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 소규모 강구조건축물의 노출형 주각부 약축 연결부의 반복이력 실험을 통해 문제점을 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 내진성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 접합상세의 개발을 위해 일련의 실험연구를 수행하였다. 본 실험결과에 의하면, 국내에서 흔히 사용되는 노출형 주각부 약축방향 접합부의 이력거동은 앵커볼트가 콘크리트로부터 점진적으로 인발됨에 따라 베이스플레이트와 앵커볼트사이에 이격거리가 누적되어 하중역전구간에서 "Rocking" 현상이 발생되어 내진성능이 매우 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 이와 같은 문제점을 개선하기 위하하여 앵커볼트의 콘크리트에 대한 부착 유/무와 개수 및 배열형태 등을 변수로 한 성능개선 실험체에 대한 일련의 반복 이력 실험을 수행하였으며, 최종적으로 소규모철골조 건축물의 노출형 주각부에 고강도 전산볼트형 앵커볼트를 8개로 3열로 배치하는 상세의 적용을 통하여 하중지지능력과 에너지분산능력 측면에서 내진성능이 크게 개선된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
