Experience of previous earthquakes shows that a considerable portion of concrete precast buildings sustain relatively large damages especially at the beam-column joints where the damages are mostly caused by bar slippage. Precast concrete buildings have a kind of discontinuity in their beam-column joints, so reinforcement details in this area is too important and have a significant effect on the seismic behavior of these structures. In this study, a relatively simple and efficient nonlinear model is proposed to simulate pre- and post-elastic behavior of the joints in usual practice of precast concrete building. In this model, beam and column components are represented by linear elastic elements, dimensions of the joint panel are defined by rigid elements, and effect of slip is taken into account by a nonlinear rotational spring at the end of the beam. The proposed method is validated by experimental results for both internal and external joints. In addition, the seismic behavior of the precast building damaged during Bojnord earthquake 13 May 2017, is investigated by using the proposed model for the beam-column joints. Damage unexpectedly inducing the precast building in the moderate Bojnord earthquake may confirm that bearing capacity of the precast building was underestimated without consideration of joint behavior effect.

이 연구에서는 기존 철근콘크리트 건물의 보-기둥 접합부 및 내진 성능의 개선을 위해 보-기둥 접합부 영역을 기존의 강판 및 FRP보강재(탄소섬유 쉬트, 매입형 탄소섬유봉)를 사용하여 보강한 후 내진 성능을 평가 하였다. 총 6개의 실험체를 제작하고 실험을 수행하여 내진 성능을 평가하였으며, 이 연구의 실험 결과를 근거로 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 기존 철근콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부의 접합부 영역(LBCJ 시리즈)를 보강한 결과 초기 재하시 접합부 영역의 균열 억제 효과와 재하 전 과정을 통하여 보강재의 구속 효과로 인하여 균열 억제 효과가 커서 안정적인 파괴 형태 및 내력 향상 효과를 나타내었다. 기존 철근콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부의 내진 성능을 개선하기 위하여 철근콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부 FRP보강 기술 적용 실험체 LBCJ 시리즈는 표준실험체 LBCJC와 비교하여 최대 내력은 26~50% 증가하였다. 그리고 에너지 소산 능력은 변위 연성 4에서 13.0~14.4% 증가하였다.

The strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) columns by steel angles and strips (steel cage) is one of various techniques available to increase ultimate column load. Different authors have shown the influence of the beam-column joint on the behaviour of columns strengthened by steel cages. This paper presents an experimental study carried out at the Universidad Polit$\acute{e}$cnica de Valencia with the aim of analysing two different techniques to solve the strengthening close to the joint and the influence on the behaviour of RC columns strengthened steel cages. The ultimate loads obtained in the laboratory tests for these two techniques are compared to that specified by Eurocode 4.

Six reinforced concrete beam-column joint specimens were constructed and tested under reverse cyclic loading to failure. The six specimens were divided into three groups, each group representing a different joint design. The main objectives of this study are to investigate the response of joints with three different design, reinforcement detailing and beam strengths, and to evaluate and compare the responses of beam-column joints reinforced with traditional steel rebar and a recently proposed steel reinforcement called prefabricated cage system (PCS). Each of the three test specimen designs included equivalent amount of steel reinforcement and had virtually identical details. The results of the research show that the PCS reinforced joints had a slightly higher strength and significantly larger deformation capacity than the equivalent rebar reinforced joints.

The panel shear and bearing strengths determining the seismic resistance of reinforced concrete column-to-steel beam connections are predicted by various methods for four previously tested exterior beam-column joints. The analytical approach to model the joint deformation is also examined. Several analyses incorporating the deformations of panel shear and bearing in the joint are demonstrated using a analyses incorporating the deformations of panel shear and bearing in the joint are demonstrated using a fairly simple connection model in the commercial packages such as Drain2dx and IDARC. The strength prediction results indicated that the ASCE method with the modifcation of the comprssion strut contribution is th most accurate. It is also considered that the analytical model presented including the joint deformation can be used for the overall analysis

A macro-element model is developed to account for shear deformation and bond slip of reinforcement bars in the beam-column joint region of reinforced concrete structures. The joint region is idealized by two springs in series, one representing shear deformation and the other representing bond slip. The softened truss model theory is adopted to establish the shear force-shear deformation relationship and to determine the shear capacity of the joint. A detailed model for the bond slip of the reinforcing bars at the beam-column interface is presented. The proposed macro-element model of the joint is validated using available experimental data on beam-column connections representing exterior joints in ductile and nonductile frames.

Reinforced concrete (RC) interior beam-column joints with high-strength materials: concrete compressive strength of 100 MPa and the yield strength of longitudinal bars of 685 MPa, were analyzed using three-dimensional (3-D) nonlinear finite element method (FEM). Specimen OKJ3 of joint shear failure type was a plane interior joint, and Specimen 12 of beam flexural failure type was a 3-D interior joint with transverse beams. Though the analytical initial stiffness was higher than experimental one, the analytical results gave a good agreement with the test results on the maximum story shear forces, the failure mode.

This paper presents the seismic performance of seven beam-column joints with an eccentricity between beam depths under cyclic loadings. The failure modes of the panel zone were divided into two types. One was the shear force failure that appeared in the entire panel zone (SFEPZ), the other was the shear force failure that appeared in the partial panel zone (SFPPZ). Seven finite element models were established using multi-scale methods. Compared with the experimental specimens, the hysteretic loops exhibited a similar trend. The multi-scale models could accurately simulate the experimental results. Furthermore, the calculation formulas of yield and plastic shear capacity of unequal-depth joints with outer annular stiffener were proposed.

For monitoring of the civil and building structure, optical fiber sensors are very convenient. The fiber sensors are very small and do not disturb the structural properties. They also have several merits such as electro-magnetic immunity, long signal transmission, good accuracy and multiplexibility in one sensor line. Strain measurement technologies with fiber optic sensors have been investigated as a part of smart structure. In this paper, we investigated the possibilities of fiber optic sensor application to the monitoring of beam-column joints of structures. We expect that the fiber optic sensors replace electrical strain gauges. The commercial electric strain gauges show good stability and dominate the strain measurement market. However, they lack durability and long term stability for continuous monitoring of the structures. In order to apply the strain gauges, we only have to attach them to the surfaces of the structures. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using fiber optic Bragg grating sensors to joint structure. The sensors show nice response to the structural behavior of the joint.

대부분의 철근콘크리트 라멘 구조물은 지진하중 작용 시 가장 취약한 부분인 보-기둥 접합부 영역에서 큰 피해를 유발할 수 있다. 이러한 피해를 방지하기 위하여 보수 및 보강에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 전 세계적으로 내진규정이 강화되고 구조물의 내진성능이 중요시되면서 지진에 효율적으로 저항할 수 있는 성능을 확보한 재료 개발이 증가되고 있다. 변형경화형 시멘트 복합체(Strain-hardening cementitious composite, SHCC)는 연성능력이 우수하여 보-기둥 접합부 영역에서 상당한 보강효과가 기대된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SHCC로 접합부를 보강한 철근콘크리트 보의 보강특성을 평가하고자 총 3개의 실험체를 제작하였다. 실험을 통하여 균열 및 파괴양상에 대하여 휨거동 특성을 평가하고 섬유 혼입률에 따른 SHCC의 보강효과에 대한 강도를 비교하였다.
