Experimental and analytical studies were conducted to clarify the influencing mechanisms of the longitudinal reinforcement on performance of axially loaded Reinforced Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (R-CFST) short columns. The longitudinal reinforcement ratio was set as parameter, and 10 R-CFST specimens with five different ratios and three Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) specimens for comparison were prepared and tested. Based on the test results, the failure modes, load transfer responses, peak load, stiffness, yield to strength ratio, ductility, fracture toughness, composite efficiency and stress state of steel tube were theoretically analyzed. To further examine, analytical investigations were then performed, material model for concrete core was proposed and verified against the test, and thereafter 36 model specimens with four different wall-thickness of steel tube, coupling with nine reinforcement ratios, were simulated. Finally, considering the experimental and analytical results, the prediction equations for ultimate load bearing capacity of R-CFSTs were modified from the equations of CFSTs given in codes, and a new equation which embeds the effect of reinforcement was proposed, and equations were validated against experimental data. The results indicate that longitudinal reinforcement significantly impacts the behavior of R-CFST as steel tube does; the proposed analytical model is effective and reasonable; proper ratios of longitudinal reinforcement enable the R-CFSTs obtain better balance between the performance and the construction cost, and the range for the proper ratios is recommended between 1.0% and 3.0%, regardless of wall-thickness of steel tube; the proposed equation is recommended for more accurate and stable prediction of the strength of R-CFSTs.

To study the eccentric compression behavior of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) columns, six UHPFRC columns and one high-strength concrete (HSC) column were tested. Variation parameters include load eccentricity, volume of steel fibers and stirrup ratio. The crack pattern, failure mode, bearing capacity, and deformation of the specimens were studied. The results showed that the UHPFRC columns had different failure modes. The large eccentric compression failure mode was the longitudinal tensile reinforcements yielded and many horizontal cracks appeared in the tension zone. The small eccentric compression failure mode was the longitudinal compressive reinforcements yielded and vertical cracks appeared in the compressive zone. Because of the bridging effect of steel fibers, the number of cracks significantly increased, and the width of cracks decreased. The load-deflection curves of the UHPFRC columns showed gradually descending without sudden dropping, indicating that the specimens had better deformation. The finite element (FE) analysis was performed to stimulate the damage process of the specimens with monotonic loading. The concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model was adopted to characterize the behaviour of UHPFRC. The contribution of the UHPFRC tensile strength was considered in the bearing capacity, and the theoretical calculation formulas were derived. The theoretical calculation results were consistent with the test results. This research can provide the experimental and theoretical basis for UHPFRC columns in engineering applications.

The study presented experimental and numerical investigation on the seismic performance of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) L-shaped column- reinforced concrete (RC) beam joints. Various parameters described as steel configuration form, axial compressive ratio, loading angle, and the existence of slab were examined through 4 planar joints and 7 spatial joints. The characteristics of the load-displacement response included the bearing capacity, ductility, story drift ratio, energy-dissipating capacity, and stiffness degradation were analyzed. The results showed that shear failure and flexural failure in the beam tip were observed for planar joints and spatial joint, respectively. And RC joint with slab failed with the plastic hinge in the slab and bottom of the beam. The results indicated that hysteretic curves of spatial joints with solid-web steel were plumper than those with hollow-web specimens. The capacity of planar joints was higher than that of space joints, while the opposite was true for energy-dissipation capacity and ductility. The high compression ratio contributed to the increase in capacity and initial stiffness of the joint. The elastic and elastic-plastic story deformation capacity of L-shaped column frame joints satisfied the code requirement. A design formula of joint shear resistance based on the superposition theory and equilibrium plasticity truss model was proposed for engineering application.

Piled raft foundations are usually used to reduce total and differential settlements of superstructures. In the piled raft foundations, the raft is often on its own able to provide adequate bearing capacity and only few widely spaced piles are added to the foundation to keep settlements be1ow a certain limit. In this paper, experimental studies on the load sharing ratio between piles and raft are carried out. Also, for evaluating the application of optimum design technique using a genetic algorithm, optimal locations of files are compared with the results of laboratory model tests. from tile results of laboratory model tests, there are found that the load sharing ratio between files and raft is depended on the number of piles and stiffness of raft, and the optimal locations of piles became concentrated on the middle of rafts. From these results of laboratory model tests, the optimum technique using a genetic algorithm is acknowledged to the application in the piled raft.

일반적으로 심층혼합공법에 의한 점토지반의 개량효과는 물리적 개량효과에 비해서 훨씬 크며 조기에 큰 개량 강도를 얻을 수 있으나, 국내 시공실적이 부족하고 시멘트-점토의 혼합방법에 따른 품질관리에 문제점이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 시멘트, 모래, 점토의 배합비에 따른 강도특성과 연직MAT의 형태에 따른 연약지반의 개량특성을 파악하기 위해 해성점토를 이용하여 일축압축 강도시험과 모형토조시험을 수행하였다. 일축압축강도 시험을 위한 공시체는 시멘트와 물의 중량비를 기준으로하여 모래를 일정 비율로 혼합하였고, 시멘트는 점토중량대비 각각 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%를 혼합하였고 대상지반토의 함수비는 40%, 60%, 80%로 조정하여 제작하였다. 공시체는 습윤방법을 이용하여 7일, 14일, 28일간 양생하여 양생기간에 따른 일축압축강도시험을 수행하였다. 지지력시험은 모형토조를 제작하고 Mat식으로 개량한 지반을 형성한 다음 개량률에 따른 지지력을 비교하고 연직MAT 장벽 상호간의 간섭효과를 분석하였다.

마이크로파일은 기초의 지지력 증대와 침하량 저감을 위해 건설분야에서 널리 활용되는 기초이다. 본 기초는 낮은 건설비용, 단순한 시공 프로세스와 비교적 작은 장비로 시공이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 최근 지지력을 효과적으로 증대시킬 수 있는 선단확장형 마이크로파일이 개발되었다. 본 기초는 수직하중이 재하될 때 마이크로파일 선단부에 설치된 지압구가 팽창하여 주변지반에 작용하는 수평토압을 증가시키며, 이로 인해 기초의 지지력이 향상된다. 하지만, 현재까지 지압구 확장 메커니즘과 지지력 증대효과가 실험적으로 명확히 검증되지 않았다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 지압구의 설치효과를 검증하기 위해 원심모형실험이 수행되었다. 이를 위해, 모래지반과 풍화암으로 구성된 지반을 각각 조성하고, 실제 선단확장형 마이크로파일에 대한 하중재하실험을 수행하였으며, 기초에 수직하중이 작용할 때 지압구 주변에 설치된 토압계를 통해 지압구의 팽창거동을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, 30kN의 하중이 기초에 작용할 때 모래지반에서는 수직토압대비 수평토압의 증가량(∆σ_h/∆σ_𝜈)이 0.4 - 0.58의 범위를 보였으며, 풍화암지반에서는 ∆σ_h/∆σ_𝜈 = 0.19로 확인되었다. 본 결과를 통해 지압구 확장에 따른 수평토압 증가가 실험적으로 확인되었으며, 이로 인해 마이크로파일의 지지력이 증가될 것으로 판단된다.

The interfacial bond strength of partially encased composite (PEC) structure tends to 0, therefore, the cast-in-place concrete theoretically cannot embody better composite effect than the fabricated structure. A total of 12 specimens were designed and experimented to investigate the energy dissipation and damage of fabricated PEC beam through unidirectional cyclic loading test. Because the concrete on both sides of the web was relatively independent, some specimens showed obvious asymmetric concrete damage, which led to specimens bearing torsion effect at the later stage of loading. Based on the concept of the ideal elastoplastic model of uniaxial tensile steel and the principle of equivalent energy dissipation, the energy dissipation ductility coefficient is proposed, which can simultaneously reflect the deformability and bearing capacity. In view of the whole deformation of the beam, the calculation formula of energy dissipation is put forward, and the energy dissipation and its proportion of shear-bending region and pure bending region are calculated respectively. The energy dissipation efficiency of the pure bending region is significantly higher than that of the shear-bending region. The setting of the screw arbors is conducive to improving the energy dissipation capacity of the specimens. Under the condition of setting the screw arbors and meeting the reasonable shear span ratio, reducing the concrete pouring thickness can lighten the deadweight of the component and improve the comprehensive benefit, and will not have an adverse impact on the energy dissipation capacity of the beam. A damage model is proposed to quantify the damage changes of PEC beams under cyclic load, which can accurately reflect the load damage and deformation damage.

The paper is to show the behavior of composit ground which is installed with sheet pile in soft soil improved by sand compaction pile. The results of load-settlement relationship, earth pressure, stress concentration characteristics, and final water content were obtained by centrifuge model test. Two cases of tests, installation of sheet pile on the corner and both side of the loading plate for the improved SCP ground which was designed twice of the footing width, were performed for the tests under the vertical and horizontal loading and both side of corner. Finite element program(CRISP) for sand compaction pile using elasto-plastic model and numerical analysis for soft soil using modified cam-clay constitutive equation were compared and analized with the results of model tests. The result of analysis show the increased bearing capacity of soil after, SCP and sheet pile was installed.
