The WGJ420 fire-resistant weathering (FRW) steel is developed and manufactured with standard yield strength of 420 MPa at room temperature, which is expected to significantly enhance the performance of steel structures with excellent fire and corrosion resistances, strong seismic capacity, high strength and ductility, good resilience and robustness. In this paper, the mechanical properties of FRW steel plates and buckling behavior of columns are investigated through tests at elevated temperatures. The stress-strain curves, mechanical properties of FRW steel such as modulus of elasticity, proof strength, tensile strength, as well as corresponding reduction factors are obtained and discussed. The recommended constitutive model based on the Ramberg-Osgood relationship, as well as the relevant formulas for mechanical properties are proposed, which provide fundamental mechanical parameters and references. A total of 12 FRW steel welded I-section columns with different slenderness ratios and buckling load ratios are tested under standard fire to understand the global buckling behavior in-depth. The influences of boundary conditions on the buckling failure modes as well as the critical temperatures are also investigated. In addition, the temperature distributions at different sections/locations of the columns are obtained. It is found that the buckling deformation curve can be divided into four stages: initial expansion stage, stable stage, compression stage and failure stage. The fire test results concluded that the residual buckling capacities of FRW steel columns are substantially higher than the conventional steel columns at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the numerical results show good agreement with the fire test results in terms of the critical temperature and maximum axial elongation. Finally, the critical temperatures between the numerical results and various code/standard curves (GB 51249, Eurocode 3, AS 4100, BS 5950 and AISC) are compared and verified both in the buckling resistance domain and in the temperature domain. It is demonstrated that the FRW steel columns have sufficient safety redundancy for fire resistance when they are designed according to current codes or standards.

중량 PC기둥의 양중부하를 저감하고 접합부 구조일체성을 개선하기 위하여, 두 가지 형태의 현장타설 콘크리트 채움 중공 PC기둥(HPC1, HPC2)을 개발하였다. 중공의 PC단면을 구현하기 위해, HPC1은 조립철근망이 설치된 선제작 PC패널 한 쌍을 활용하였으며, HPC2는 특별한 띠철근을 활용하였다. 심부콘크리트 타설시 측압을 측정하였으며, 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 실물크기의 HPC1, HPC2 기둥과 비교용 RC 기둥에 대하여 일정축력하 주기횡하중실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 HPC 실험체는 초기강성, 최대강도, 변위연성도 등 구조성능면에서 RC 실험체와 유사한 거동을 보였으며, 다만 단면을 관통하는 내부띠철근이 없는 HPC2의 경우에는 주철근의 좌굴이 발생한 이후 에너지소산능력이 다소 떨어졌다. 하지만 세 실험체 모두 ACI 374에서 요구하는 에너지소산능력을 만족하였다.

Many experimental and numerical approaches have been developed to evaluate paving materials and to predict pavement response and distress. Micromechanical simulation modeling is a technology that can reduce the number of physical tests required in material formulation and design and that can provide more details, e.g., the internal stress and strain state, and energy evolution and dissipation in simulated specimens with realistic microstructural features. A clustered distinct element modeling (DEM) approach was implemented In the two-dimensional particle flow software package (PFC-2D) to study the complex behavior observed in asphalt mixture fracturing. The relationship between continuous and discontinuous material properties was defined based on the potential energy approach. The theoretical relationship was validated with the uniform axial compression and cantilever beam model using two-dimensional plane strain and plane stress models. A bilinear cohesive displacement-softening model was implemented as an intrinsic interface and applied for both homogeneous and heterogeneous fracture modeling in order to simulate behavior in the fracture process zone and to simulate crack propagation. A disk-shaped compact tension test (DC(T)) with heterogeneous microstructure was simulated and compared with the experimental fracture test results to study Mode I fracture. The realistic arbitrary crack propagation including crack deflection, microcracking, crack face sliding, crack branching, and crack tip blunting could be represented in the fracture models. This micromechanical modeling approach represents the early developmental stages towards a 'virtual asphalt laboratory,' where simulations of laboratory tests and eventually field response and distress predictions can be made to enhance our understanding of pavement distress mechanisms, such its thermal fracture, reflective cracking, and fatigue crack growth.

In this study, the seismic performance of the connections between L-shaped columns composed of concrete-filled steel tubes (L-CFST columns) and H-beams used in high-rise steel frame structures was investigated. Seven full-scale specimens were tested under quasi-static cyclic loading. The variables studied in the tests included the joint type, the axial compression ratio, the presence of concrete, the width-to-thickness ratio and the internal extension length of the side plates. The hysteretic response, strength degradation, stiffness degradation, ductility, plastic rotation capacity, energy dissipation capacity and the strain distribution were evaluated at different load cycles. The test results indicated that both the corner and exterior joint specimens failed due to local buckling and crack within the beam flange adjacent to the end of the side plates. However, the failure modes of the interior joint specimens primarily included local buckling and crack at the end plates and curved corners of the beam flange. A design method was proposed for the flexural capacity of the end plate connection in the interior joint. Good agreement was observed between the theoretical and test results of both the yield and ultimate flexural capacity of the end plate connection.

A series of tests on concrete-filled SHS (Square Hollow Section) stub columns (twenty), columns (eight) and beam-columns (twenty one) were carried out. The main parameters varied in the tests are (1) Confinement factor (${\xi}$) from 1.08 to 5.64, (2) concrete compression strength from 10.7MPa to 36.6MPa, (3) tube width to thickness ratio from 20.5 to 36.5. (4) load eccentricity (e) from 15 mm to 80 mm and (5) column slenderness (${\lambda}$) from 45 to 75. A mechanics model is developed in this paper for concrete-filled SHS stub columns, columns and beam-columns. A unified theory is described where a confinement factor (${\xi}$) is introduced to describe the composite action between the steel tube and filled concrete. The predicted load versus axial strain relationship is in good agreement with stub column test results. Simplified models are derived for section capacities and modulus in different stages of the composite sections. The predicted beam-column strength is compared with that of 331 beam-column tests with a wide range of parameters. A good agreement is obtained. The predicted load versus midspan deflection relationship for beam-columns is in good agreement with test results. A simplified model is developed for calculating the member capacity of concrete-filled SHS columns. Comparisons are made with predicted columns strengths using the existing codes such as LRFD (AISC 1994), AIJ (1997), and EC4 (1996). Simplified interaction curves are derived for concrete-filled beam-columns.

다양한 지반공학적 문제들에서 불포화 상태의 중요성이 강조되면서, 불포화 지반의 열-수리-역학적 현상들에 대한 거동특성을 모사하기 위한 역학적 구성모델 개발이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Bishop의 유효응력 정의에 근거한 불포화 지반의 역학적 탄소성 구성모델을 제시하였다. 유효응력에 근거한 구성관계는 유효응력과 온도를 주 변수로 증분 형식으로 표현되었으며, 이를 이용하여 응력 갱신과 강성 텐서를 산정하였다. 개발된 구성모델을 이용하여 THM 현상을 포함하는 불포화토의 1차원 거동, 불포화토의 삼축 압축시험, 그리고 고준위 방사성폐기물 시설의 완충재의 거동 특성에 관한 예제 해석을 수행하여 해의 안정성과 구성모델의 적용성에 대하여 논의하였다. 수치해석결과는 개발된 역학적 구성모델이 THM 현상의 매우 복잡한 거동을 효과적으로 모사할 수 있었으며, 일반적인 불포화토의 거동 해석뿐만 아니라 다양한 환경 조건하에서의 THM 거동 해석에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Experimental and discrete element methods were used to investigate the effects of echelon non-persistent joint on the failure behaviour of joint's bridge area under uniaxial compressive test. Concrete samples with dimension of 150 mm×100 mm×50 mm were prepared. Uniaxial compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete were 14 MPa and 1MPa, respectivly. Within the specimen, three echelon non-persistent notches were provided. These joints were distributed on the three diagonal plane. the angle of diagonal plane related to horizontal axis were 15°, 30° and 45°. The angle of joints related to diagonal plane were 30°, 45°, 60°. Totally, 9 different configuration systems were prepared for non-persistent joint. In these configurations, the length of joints were taken as 2 cm. Similar to those for joints configuration systems in the experimental tests, 9 models with different echelon non-persistent joint were prepared in numerical model. The axial load was applied to the model by rate of 0.05 mm/min. the results show that the failure process was mostly governed by both of the non-persistent joint angle and diagonal plane angle. The compressive strengths of the specimens were related to the fracture pattern and failure mechanism of the discontinuities. It was shown that the shear behaviour of discontinuities is related to the number of the induced tensile cracks which are increased by increasing the joint angle. The strength of samples increase by increasing both of the joint angle and diagonal plane angle. The failure pattern and failure strength are similar in both methods i.e. the experimental testing and the numerical simulation methods.

To investigate the seismic performance of steel pipe-aeolian sand recycled concrete columns, this study designed and produced five specimens. Low-cycle repeated load tests were conducted while maintaining a constant axial compression ratio. The experiment aimed to examine the impact of different aeolian sand replacement rates on the seismic performance of these columns. The test results revealed that the mechanical failure modes of the steel pipe-recycled concrete column and the steel pipe-aeolian sand recycled concrete column were similar. Plastic hinges formed and developed at the column foot, and severe local buckling occurred at the bottom of the steel pipe. Interestingly, the bulging height of the damaged steel pipe was reduced for the specimen mixed with an appropriate amount of wind-deposited sand under the same lateral displacement. The hysteresis curves of all five specimens tested were relatively full, with no significant pinching phenomenon observed. Moreover, compared to steel tube-recycled concrete columns, the steel tube-aeolian sand recycled concrete columns exhibited improved seismic energy dissipation capacity and ductility. However, it was noted that as the aeolian sand replacement rate increased, the bearing capacity of the specimen increased first and then decreased. The seismic performance of the specimen was relatively optimal when the aeolian sand replacement rate was 30%. Upon analysis and comparison, the damage analysis model based on stiffness and energy consumption showed good agreement with the test results and proved suitable for evaluating the damage degree of steel pipe-wind-sand recycled concrete structures.

본 연구의 목적은 휨과 전단에 지배받는 철근콘크리트 보에서 아치작용에 의한 전단기여성분을 평가하기 위한 새로운 해석 모델의 적용성을 검증하기 위한 것이다. 새로운 모델은 전단력은 휨모멘트의 변화율이라는 관계식을 기초로, 분산트러스 이상화 기법을 이용하여 횡단면에서 베르누이(Bernoulli) 휨 평면으로부터 전단변형적합조건을 새롭게 유도하였으며, MCFT와 분산트러스 이상화를 통해 전단흐름에 의한 복부전단요소의 전단곡률을 일치시키는 전단변형적합조건을 수립하였다. 전단변형적합조건을 이용하면, 보 전단거동은 타이드아치작용과 보작용의 두 성분으로 수치적 분해 될 수 있다. 이러한 분리 접근법의 유효성은 기존 문헌에 수록된 활용 가능한 실험 자료를 통해 검증하였다. 수행 결과 실제 측정 전단강도와 비교하였을 때 복부가 분담하는 전단강도는 훨씬 일정하며, 역학적 복부철근비와 훌륭한 선형 상관관계에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 새로운 해석 모델은 철근콘크리트 부재의 전단 거동에 영향을 미치는 각 변수나 메커니즘을 합리적으로 설명할 수 있는 모델이라고 할 수 있겠다.
