볼트 간격에 따른 국내산 낙엽송 집성재 이중 볼트접합부의 내력성능을 검토하기 위하여 휨 type 전단강도실험을 실시하였다. 전단시편은 강판삽입형 볼트접합부 시편으로서 볼트구멍은 볼트직경(12 mm, 16 mm), 볼트 개수(단일 볼트 : Control, 이중 볼트), 볼트 열 방향(섬유평행 : Type-A, 섬유직교 : Type-B) 그리고 볼트 간격(Type-A : 4 d, 7 d, Type-B : 3 d, 5 d)을 달리하여 제작하였다. 조건에 따른 볼트접합부의 강도성능과 파괴형상을 비교, 검토하였다. 설계표준(KBCS, 2000)시 볼트간격이 감소된 기준허용전단내력에 대한 저감계수를 산출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 단일 볼트접합부와 Type-A의 이중 볼트접합부의 볼트 한 개당 지압응력은 볼트의 직경, 볼트 간격과 비례 관계를 보여주었다. Type-B의 지압응력은 볼트의 직경이 증가할 때 감소하였고, 볼트 간격이 증가할 때 2~10% 정도 감소하였다. 2) 단일 볼트접합부와 Type-A의 이중 볼트접합부의 파괴형상은 연단거리 방향으로 할렬파단이 일어났다. Type-B의 경우 볼트간격이 3 d일 때 인장부위 볼트가 압축부위 볼트보다 더 굴곡되었고 인장부위볼트에서 할렬파단이 시작되었다. 5 d 시편의 경우 인장부위와 압축부위 볼트의 굴곡은 비슷하게 나타났으며, 압축부위볼트에서 할렬파단이 시작되었다. 3) 설계표준시 기준볼트 간격(Type A : 7 d, Type B : 5 d)에 따른 항복하중을 무차원화시켜 저감계수를 산출하였다. 12 mm 볼트접합부의 경우 Type-A인 볼트 간격 4d와 단일 볼트접합부의 저감계수는 각각 0.87, 0.55였고 Type-B인 볼트 간격 3 d와 단일 볼트접합부의 저감계수는 0.91, 0.55였다. 16 mm 볼트접합부의 경우 Type-A인 볼트 간격 4 d와 단일 볼트접합부의 저감계수는 0.96, 0.76이었고 Type-B인 볼트 간격 3 d, 단일 볼트접합부의 저감계수는 0.91, 0.77이었다.

Single-layered grid space steel roof structure is an architectural system in which the structural ability of the nodal connection system greatly influences the stability of the entire structure. Many bolt connection systems have been suggested to enhance for better construct ability, but the structural behavior and maximum resistance of the connection system according to the size of bolt clearance play were difficult to identify. In particular, the identification of bending stiffness of the connection system is very important due to the characteristics of shell structures in which membrane stresses based on bending force effect significantly. To identify effective structural behavior and maximum bearing force, four representative nodal connection systems were selected and nonlinear numerical analysis were performed. The numerical analysis considering the size of the bolt clearance were performed to investigate structural behavior and maximum values of the bending force. In addition, the type of effective nodal connection system were evaluated. As a result, the connection system, which has two shear plane, represented high bending stiffness.

본 논문에서는 풍력터빈과 하부구조물을 연결하는 L형 플랜지 볼트 접합부의 거동 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. L형 플랜지 볼트 접합부는 링(Ring) 형태의 L형 단면 플랜지가 볼트에 의해 상하 체결되는 방식으로서 국내 풍력터빈에서 주로 적용되고 있는 연결방식이다. 특히 풍력타워 구조물은 이들 연결부의 손상이 전체 구조시스템의 붕괴로 이어질 수 있으므로 중요한 구조 요소 중 하나이다. 따라서 L형 플랜지 볼트 접합부에 대한 정확한 거동 특성의 이해가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 FE 해석을 통하여 L형 플랜지에 작용하는 외력과 볼트장력의 관계, 그리고 L형 플랜지의 응력분포 변화를 외력 작용 단계별로 분석하였다. 여기서 FE 해석모델은 실제 링 형태의 L형 플랜지를 단일볼트의 L형 플랜지로 이상화하였다. 또한 볼트장력과 작용외력의 관계를 이론적으로 제안한 Petersen, Schmidt와 Neuper 그리고 VDI 2230의 볼트-외력 곡선모델에서 언급되는 접합부의 거동 불연속점과 FE 해석결과를 비교함으로써 FE 해석조건의 적절성을 검증하고, 각 볼트-외력 곡선모델의 특징과 L형 플랜지 볼트 접합부 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 그리고 L형 플랜지 단면 제원을 일부 변화시켜 볼트-외력 곡선의 변화를 분석하였다.

A single plate shear connection, or shear tab, is a very popular shear connection due to its merit in ease of construction and material economy. However, problems in understanding the connection behavior, both in terms of strength and ductility, have been well-documented. Suggestions or design model for single plate connections in AISC Design Manual have been altered several times, with the latest edition settling down to giving designers pre-calculated design strength tables if the connection details agree with given configurations. Results from many full-scale tests and finite element models in the past suggest that shear strength of a bolt group in single plate shear connections might be affected by yield strength of plate material; therefore, this research was aimed to investigate and clarify effects of plate yield strength and thickness on shear strength of the bolt group in the connections, including the validity of using a plate thickness/bolt diameter ratio ($t_p/d_b$) in design, by using finite element models. More than 20 models have been created by using ABAQUS program with 19.0- and 22.2-mm A325N bolts and A36 and Gr.50 plates with various thicknesses. Results demonstrated that increase of plate thickness or plate yield strength, with the $t_p/d_b$ ratio remained intact, could significantly reduce shear strength of the bolt group in the connection as much as 15 percent. Results also confirmed that the $t_p/d_b$ ratio is a valid indicator to be used for guaranteeing strength sufficiency. Because the actual ratio recommended by AISC Design Manual is $t_p/d_b$ + 1.6 (mm) for connections with a number of bolts less than six and plate yield strength in construction is normally higher than the nominal value used in design, it is proposed that shear strength of a bolt group in single plate connections with a number of bolts equal or greater than seven be reduced by 15 percent and the $t_p/d_b$ ratio be limited to 0.500.

Bolted joints are commonly used in civil infrastructure and mechanical assembly structures. Monitoring and identifying the connection status of bolts is the frontier problem of structural research. The existing research is mainly on the looseness of a single bolt. This article presents a study of assessing the loosening/tightening health state and identifying the loose bolt by using ultrasonic guided wave in a bolt group joint. A bolt-tightening index was proposed for evaluating the looseness of a bolt connection based on correlation coefficient. The tightening/loosening state of the bolt was simulated by changing the bolt torque. More than 180 different measurement tests for total of six bolts were conducted. The results showed that with the bolt torque increases, value of the proposed bolt-tightening index increases. The proposed bolt-tightening index trend was very well reproduced by an analytical expression using a function of the torque applied with an overall percentage error lower than 5%. The developed damage index based on the proposed bolt-tightening index can also be applied to locate the loosest bolt in a bolt group joint. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, a bolt group joint experiment with different positions of bolt looseness was performed. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is effective to detect and locate bolt looseness and has a good prospect of finding applications in real-time structural monitoring.

Frame composed of concrete-filled steel tubular columns and I-shaped steel beam has been researched in order to development reasonable connection details. The present paper describes the results of an experimental program in four different connection details. The connection details considered include through-bolt between I-shaped steel beams and concrete-filled steel tubular columns and two details of welded connections. One of the welded connection details is stiffened by angles welded in the interior of the profile wall at the beam flange level. The specimens were tested in a cruciform loading arrangement with variable monotonic loading on the beams and constant compressive load on the column. For through-bolt details, the contribution of friction and bearing were investigated by embedding some of the bolts in the concrete. The results of the tests show that through-bolt connection details are very ductility and the bearing is not important to the behavior of these moment connections. The angles welded in the interior of the profile wall increase the strength and stiffness of the welded connection detail. In addition, the behavior curves of these connections are compared and some interesting conclusions are drawn. The results are summarized for the strength and stiffness of each connection.

In this paper, a novel but practical approach named series/parallel multi-sensing technique was proposed to evaluate the bolt looseness in a bolt group. The smart washers (SWs), which were fabricated by embedding a Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) transducer into two flat metal rings, were installed to the bolts group. By series connection of SWs, the impedance signals of different bolts can be obtained through only one sweep. Therefore, once the loosening occurred, the shift of different peak frequencies can be used to locate which bolt has loosened. The proposed multi input single output (MISO) damage detection scheme is very suitable for the structural health monitoring (SHM) of joint with a large number of bolts connection. Another notable contribution of this paper is the proposal of 3-dB bandwidth root mean square deviation (3 dB-RMSD) which can quantitatively evaluate the severity of bolt looseness. Compared with the traditional naked-eye observation method, the equivalent circuit based 3-dB bandwidth can accurately define the calculation range of RMSD. An experiment with three bolted connection specimens that installed the SWs was carried out to validate our proposed approach. Experimental result shows that the proposed 3 dB-RMSD based multi-sensing technique can not only identify the loosened bolt but also monitor the severity of bolt looseness.

Several types of column-beam connections are used in the design of steel structures. This situation causes different cross-section effects and, therefore, different displacements and deformations. In other words, connection elements such as welds, bolts, continuity plates, end plates, and stiffness plates used in steel column-beam connections directly affect the section effects. This matter reveals the necessity of knowing the steel column-beam connection behaviours. In this article, behaviours of bolted column-beam connection with end plate widely used in steel structures are investigated comparatively the effects of the stiffness plates added to the beam body, the change in the end plate thickness and bolt diameter. The results obtained reveal that the moment and force carrying capacity of the said connection increases with the increase in the end plate thickness and bolt diameter. In contrast, it causes the other elements to deform and lose their capacity. This matter shows that optimum dimensions are very important in steel column-beam connections. In addition, it has been seen that adding a stiffness plate to the beam body part positively contributes to the connection's moment-carrying capacity.

To overcome the weakness of spread foundation in large space structure, the research of precast pile for replace spread foundation have been conducted. The new type of joint between PHC pile and steel column is named HAT Joint(Hollow hAlf-sphere cast-sTeel Joint). It connected PHC Pile by bolt that verification of bolt connection should be accomplished. In this paper, pull-out test and flexural performance for HAT Joint to verifying the bolt connection is explained. As a result, the pull-out and flexural capacities of bolt were checked to use in real structure. Furthermore, the equation of pull-out strength was proposed.
