Modular structures consist of standardized modules and their connections. A modular bridge pier is proposed to accelerate bridge construction. Multiple concrete-filled steel tubes (CFTs) using commercial steel tubes were chosen as the main members. Buckling restrained bracings and enhanced connection details were designed to prevent premature low-cycle fatigue failure upon cyclic loading. The pier had a height of 7.95 m, widths of 2.5 m and 2.0 m along the strong and weak axis, respectively. Cyclic tests were performed on the modular pier to investigate structural performance. Test results showed that four CFT columns reached yielding without a premature failure of the bracing connections. The ultimate capacity of the modular pier was reasonably estimated based on the plastic-hinge-analysis concept. The modular CFT pier with enhanced bracing showed improved displacement ductility without premature failure at the welding joints.

The structural behaviors of circular concrete filled steel tube (CFT) structures are investigated by nonlinear finite element method. An efficient three-dimensional (3D) degenerated beam element is adopted. Based on those previous studies, a modified stress-strain relationship for confined concrete which introduces the influence of eccentricity on confining stress is presented. Updated Lagrange formulation is used to consider the geometrical nonlinearity induced by large deformation effect. The nonlinear behaviors of CFT structures are investigated, and the accuracy of the proposed constitutive model for confined concrete is mainly concerned. The results demonstrate that the confining effect in CFT elements subjected to combining action of axial force and bending moment is far sophisticated than that in axial loaded columns, and an appropriate evaluation about this effect may be important for nonlinear numerical simulation of CFT structures.

본 논문에서는 CFT 구조의 강관과 내부 충전 콘크리트 간 복합거동을 유한요소해석 시 적절하게 반영하기 위해 강관과 콘크리트 간 부착 슬립관계 묘사를 위한 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 내부 충전 콘크리트에 축방향 하중 발생 시, 강관과 콘크리트 간 마찰로 인해 강관으로 하중이 전달되며, 이에 따른 강관 슬립량과 힘의 평형관계를 통해 등가강성을 통해 부착관계를 파악할 수 있다. 실제 원형 CFT 부재의 부착응력 실험을 통해 측정된 수직 및 수평 방향 응력 분포 결과와 제안된 해석 기법을 통해 산정된 응력 분포의 비교를 통해 제안된 해석 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 비선형 유한요소해석 시 강관과 콘크리트의 부착 거동 묘사에 따라 CFT 기둥의 거동 특성에 영향을 미치게 되므로 축방향 하중이 작용하는 CFT 부재 실험 결과와 제안된 부착-슬립 모델을 반영한 유한요소해석 결과의 하중-변위 곡선 관계 비교를 통해 제안된 기법의 적합성을 검증하였다.

The major objective of this paper is to evaluate the behavior and ultimate resisting capacity of circular CFT columns. To consider the confinement effect, proper material models with respect to the confinement pressure are selected. A fiber section approach is adopted to simulate the nonlinear stress distribution along the section depth. Material nonlinearity due to the cracking of concrete and the yielding of the surrounding steel tube, as well as geometric nonlinearity due to the P-${\Delta}$ effect, are taken into account. The validity of the proposed numerical analysis model is established by comparing the analytical predictions with the results from previous experimental studies about pure bending and eccentric axial loading. Numerical predictions using an unconfined material model were also compared to investigate the confinement effects on various loading combinations. The ultimate resisting capacities predicted by the proposed numerical model and the design guidelines in Eurocode 4 are compared to evaluate the existing design recommendation.

In recent years, the performance requested for which an ultra-high rise buildings is diversified. Large spans are designed in order to gain wide workspace. Column positions are shifted in middle stories to provide space different from neighboring floors. Moreover, in the bottom layers of the building, it is becoming more important to expand freedom to plan flexibility such as creating publically opened wide atria that gives attractive free space. Earthquake-proof criteria is also changing not only human life protection deign but also a design that allows functional continuity. In order to achieve thee needs, as one of technology, we have developed ultra-high strength concrete filled tubular (CFT) columns of the box section that combine ultra-high strength concrete with specified strength of $150N/mm^2$ and ultra-high strength steel material with tensile strength of $780N/mm^2$. In this paper, the outline of development of an ultra-high strength CFT column is reported. Also, the structural design of the ultra-high-rise building using the CFT columns is reported.

Pure torsion loading conditions were not frequently occurred in practical engineering, but the torsional researches were important since it's the basis of mechanical property researches under complex loading. Then a 3D finite element model with precise material constitutive models was established, and the effectiveness was verified with test data. Parametric studies with varying factors as steel yield strength, concrete strength and sectional height-width ratio, were performed. Internal stress state and the interaction effect between encased steel tube and the core concrete were analyzed. Results indicated that due to the confinement effect between steel tube and core concrete, the torsional strength of CFT columns was greatly improved comparing to plain concrete columns. The steel ratio would greatly influence the torque share between the steel tube and the core concrete. Then the torsional strength calculation formulas for core concrete and the whole CFT column were proposed. The proposed formula could be simpler and easier to use with guaranteed accuracy. Related design codes were more conservative than the proposed formula, but the proposed formula presented more satisfactory agreement with experimental results.

Top-down method is widely used for urban area construction for its advantages in reducing environmental problems such as dust and noise, and saving construction cost depending on given conditions of a construction site. Because the excavation and construction of super- and sub-structures of the building have to be proceeded simultaneously, a column has to be embedded prior to excavation. This column is called a pillar column or pre-founded column. Usually a wide flange section is used for these columns. To place the columns, usually the diameter of casing holes needs to be larger than the section of the wide flange itself in order to accommodate a couple of tremie pipes for pouring concrete. In this paper, a newly developed method of using circular pipe as an alternative to the existing wide flange section is discussed. The crucial part of the new method is to develop a connection between the circular column and concrete flat slabs. For shear force transfer from concrete slab to the concrete filled tube (CFT) column, shear jackets with studs and shear bands are proposed. The studs are welded on the jackets at shop and placed around the circular column on site. The shear bands are welded on the outer side of the CFT at shop and inserted into ground with the CFT. Test results and application of the method to a construction site are also provided in this paper.

콘크리트충전 강관은 콘크리트와 강관의 합성작용으로 인한 내력의 증가와 우수한 변형능력 등의 많은 장점이 있으나 현장에서 강관에 콘크리트를 타설할 때 충전된 콘크리트의 충전성에 대한 신뢰도가 떨어질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 공장타설에 의한 콘크리트충전 각형강관기둥의 프리훼브화로 콘크리트의 충전성을 확보하기 위한 목적으로 현장에서의 기둥 이음방식을 용접과 고강도 무수축 모르터를 사용한 접합방법을 사용하여 이에 대한 실험을 하였다. 본 연구는 이러한 시공법을 선택할 경우 콘크리트를 미리 타설한 기둥과 기둥을 접합할 때 그 이음부의 역학적 특성을 파악하여 실제 현장에서 실시하고 있는 방법인 현장 타설방법과 동등한 능력을 발휘할 수 있는 지를 확인하고 그 방법에 대한 영향인자를 파악하고 분석하는 기초적 연구이다.

화재발생시 콘크리트충전 강관(CFT)기둥은 강재의 표면이 고열에 직접 노출되기 때문에 강관의 내화피복에 따라 내화성능에서 많은 차이가 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 내화피복 CFT기둥의 온도분포특성을 파악하기 위하여 내화피복의 종류와 두께 및 내화시간을 변수로 하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 가열온도를 기준으로 내화성능은 내화뿜칠, 내화페인트, 무내화의 순으로 나타났다. 가열시간-위치별 온도분포는 콘크리트부분은 완만한 증가를 보이고 있으나, 강관외부표면에 도달하면 급격한 온도의 증가를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

최근, 콘크리트 충전강관 기둥(CFT)은 우수한 구조성능을 인정받아 현장적용이 활발하게 이뤄지고 있다. 한편 강재개발과 가격 상승으로 인해 단면을 효율적으로 사용하고자 하는 연구가 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구실에서는 단면의 효율을 극대화 하기 위해 얇은 L형 플레이트 4개를 각형강관으로 형성한 단면을 제안한다. 이로 인해 강관 내부에 형성된 리브는 폭 중앙에 위치하고 있어 콘크리트와의 앵커역할이 가능하다. 또한 동일한 단면적을 갖는 일반 CFT기둥에 비해 우수한 좌굴내력과 변형성능이 발휘됨을 실험으로 평가되었다. 본 연구에서는 활용범위를 넓히고자 얇은 강판으로 조립된 신형상 기둥을 제안하며 구조적 성능을 재평가 하고자 한다. 실험 주요변수 폭두께비(b/t: 78,96,107) 이다. 실험결과 규준에서 제시하고 있는 폭두께비를 초과했음에도 내부에 설치된 리브의 앵커역할로 인해 충분한 내력을 발휘하며, 변형성능 향상에 유리한 것으로 분석되었다.
