Shear failure and core concrete crushing at plastic hinge region are the two main failure modes of bridge piers, which can make repair impossible and cause the collapse of bridge. To avoid the two types of failure of pier, a composite pier was proposed, which was formed by embedding high strength concrete filled steel tubular (CFT) column in reinforced concrete (RC) pier. Through cyclic loading tests, the seismic performances of the composite pier were studied. The experimental results show that the CFT column embedded in composite pier can increase the flexural strength, displacement ductility and energy dissipation capacity, and decrease the residual displacement after undergoing large deformation. The analytical analysis is performed to simulate the hysteretic behavior of the composite pier subjected to cyclic loading, and the numerical results agree well with the experimental results. Using the analytical model and time-history analysis method, seismic responses of a continuous girder bridge using composite piers is investigated, and the results show that the bridge using composite piers can resist much stronger earthquake than the bridge using RC piers.

CFST columns are structurally superior because the concrete inside the steel tubes prevents local buckling at the tubes and the tubes confine the concrete. And, the thickness of steel tube in CFST column has been thinner with development of high-strengh steel. The thinner the steel tube of a square CFST column is, the more local buckling is likely to occur. For this reason, we developed welded built-up square steel tube with stiffeners which are placed at the center of the tube width acts as an anchor. In this study, we conduct experimental test for three specimens of the 4m long span welded built-up square CFT column with parameters of L/D and D/t. And, the test results were compared with the analysis results by M-${\phi}$-P Program.

Unlike the projects that the government has implemented recently to develop new cities under the New Deal project, Saeddeul Village projects to improve the environment of the city are gaining attention. The problem has been found to be that many of the buildings in Saeddeul Village are still not earthquake-proof by using drones to review the state of the town. It also revealed that after two years of earthquakes, Pilotis structures are the most vulnerable to earthquakes. However, it is suitable for small spaces in the city because it provides parking spaces as well as residential spaces. Accordingly, the focus should be on repair and reinforcement rather than reconstruction. In this study, a concrete-based seismic design and construction method is developed in the columns of the existing pylotis structure.

본 연구는 각 연결부에 대한 수치 해석을 통하여 강재-콘크리트 합성 프레임 구조물의 성능을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 혁신적인 측면은 강재 보와 CFT 기둥의 연결부 사용과 저탄소강과 형상 기억 합금 구성요소의 조합을 활용하는데 있다. 이러한 새로운 연결부의 목적은 지진 후 건물의 손상과 잔류 흐름을 줄이기 위해 고탄성 형상기억합금 인장부에서 발생하는 교정 작용과 저탄소강의 우수한 에너지 분산 능력을 활용하는 것이다. 연결부의 핀, 전체적인 고정 또는 부분 구속으로 모델링을 할 수 없기 때문에 이러한 구조물들의 해석과 설계는 복잡하여 PR-CFT 연결부의 전체적인 거동을 알기 위한 수치해석을 위해 정교한 3차원 솔리드 요소로 구성된 유한해석 모델을 개발하였다. 이러한 유한요소 해석으로 얻은 결과를 바탕으로 스프링 요소를 이용하여 간단한 연결부 모델링을 공식화 시켰다. 반복 하중을 가하여 전체 프레임 구조물의 거동을 확인하였고 3D 유한요소 해석을 통하여 단순 거동을 비교하였다.

CFT기둥은 강관내부에 콘크리트를 채워 넣은 구조로서, 화재 시 강관의 강도는 저하되나 내부 콘크리트의 높은 열용량 효과로 내화성능을 확보할 수 있는 구조이다. 본 연구에서는 강관내부의 충전된 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 축력비 변화에 따른 CFT기둥의 내화성능을 평가하였다. 내화성능의 평가는 KS F 2257-1 및 KS F 2257-7에 따라 수행되었으며, 적용 부재 단면은 $280{\times}280{\times}6$, 콘크리트 압축강도 24MPa, 40MPa 및 축력비 0.9, 0.6, 0.2를 실험변수로 설정하였다. 재하가열시험을 통한 내화성능평가 결과, 콘크리트 압축강도 24Mpa의 경우 축력비 0.9, 0.6, 0.2에서는 각각 27분, 113분, 3시간 이상으로 나타나 축력비 변화에 따른 내화성능이 크게 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 콘크리트 압축강도 40MPa의 경우, 축력비 0.9, 0.6에서는 각각 19분, 28분으로 나타났다. 40MPa는 24MPa에 비해서 축력비 변화에 따른 내화성능 향상 효과는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 고강도의 경우 가열시 발생되는 내부 압력의 상승로 성능저하가 크게 발생되는 것으로 판단되었다.

소성응력분포법과 변형률적합법은 콘크리트충전 각형강관(RCFT, rectangular concrete filled tube) 기둥의 P-M조합강도 산정을 위한 대표적인 두 방법으로, 일반적으로 소성응력분포법은 근사적인 강도치를 제공하는 반면 변형률적합법은 단면에 사용되는 각 물성치의 구성방정식이 정확하다는 전제 하에서 정해에 가까운 해를 제공한다. 최근 변형률적합법에 따른 RCFT기둥의 P-M조합강도 산정에 관한 필자의 연구에 따르면, 현재 연구된 외부 강관으로 구속된 콘크리트 구성방정식이 부정확하기 때문에, 변형률적합법을 통해 산정된 다양한 물성치를 가지는 콘크리트와 강재의 조합으로 이루어진 단면의 P-M조합 강도가 부정확하게 산정되는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 기존에 수행된 실험결과를 분석하여 콘크리트충전 각형 강관기둥의 P-M 조합강도 예측을 위한 변형률적합법에 활용될 수 있는 충전콘크리트의 구성방정식을 제시하고 그 타당성을 입증하였다. 본 연구에서 추구하는 모형은 실무적용을 위한 우회적이고 현상학적 모형으로, 외부 강재와 내부 콘크리트 간 상대강도비와 강재의 판폭두께비의 P-M조합강도에 대한 영향을 압괴변형률의 크기에 반영하여 단면내의 힘의 재분배 정도를 조절함으로써 실험결과와 합치하는 결과를 얻어내는 모형이다. 이를 위해 현 규준에서 제시하고 있는 압괴변형률 0.003의 일괄적 제한의 한계를 지적하였으며, 상대강도비와 판폭두께비의 P-M조합강도에 대한 영향을 압괴변형률의 크기에 반영하여 단면내의 힘의 재분배 정도를 조절함으로써 실험결과와 합치하는 결과를 얻어내는 모형을 제시하였다.

Recently, in recognition of their outstanding structural performance, the use of Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFT) columns has been increased. New shape welded built-up square tube was developed by the authors for broader usability using thin steel plates which were bent to be L-shaped (Channel) and each unit members were welded to form square steel tube as an cost-efficient use of expensive steel. In addition, since the rib placed at the center of the tube width acts as an anchor; higher load capacity of buckling is achievable. In order to apply the new shape built-up square columns, the structural behavior and stress distribution with parameter width of thickness (b/t), with and without rib were predicted. The New shape welded built-up square tube effectively delayed the local buckling of the steel tube, which led to a greater strength and ductility than regular HSS.

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) beam-columns are widely used owing to their good performance. They have high strength, ductility, large energy absorption capacity and low costs. Externally stiffened CFST beam-columns are not used widely due to insufficient design equations that consider all parameters affecting their behavior. Therefore, effect of various parameters (global, local slenderness ratio and adding hoop stiffeners) on the behavior of CFST columns is studied. An experimental study that includes twenty seven specimens is conducted to determine the effect of those parameters. Load capacities, vertical deflections, vertical strains and horizontal strains are all recorded for every specimen. Ratio between outer diameter (D) of pipes and thickness (t) is chosen to avoid local buckling according to different limits set by codes for the maximum D/t ratio. The study includes two loading methods on composite sections: steel only and steel with concrete. The case of loading on steel only, occurs in the connection zone, while the other load case occurs in steel beam connecting externally with the steel column wall. Two failure mechanisms of CFST columns are observed: yielding and global buckling. At early loading stages, steel wall in composite specimens dilated more than concrete so no full bond was achieved which weakened strength and stiffness of specimens. Adding stiffeners to the specimens increases the ultimate load by up to 25% due to redistribution of stresses between stiffener and steel column wall. Finally, design equations previously prepared are verified and found to be only applicable for medium and long columns.

This paper reports the results of a recent experimental study into the behavior of welded fin-plate connections to both hollow and concrete filled tubular (CFT) columns under shear. Experiments have been performed at both ambient and elevated temperatures with the aid of an electric kiln. The observed failure modes include fracture of the fin plate and tearing out of the tube around the welds. By considering the results of previously published research, the current design method for similar connections under purely tensile load, in CIDECT Guide 9, based on a deformation limit of 3% of the tube width is shown to be inadequate when evaluating the ultimate strength of such connections. By comparing the results from the current test program which failed in the fin-plate with Eurocode guidance for failure of a fin-plate alone under shear and bending load it is shown that the column face influences the overall connection strength regardless of failure mode. Concrete in-fill is observed to significantly increase the strength of connections over empty specimens, and circular column specimens were observed to exhibit greater strength than similarly proportioned square columns. A finite element (F.E.) model, developed using ABAQUS, is presented and validated against the experimental results in order that extensive parametric tests may be subsequently performed. When validating the model against elevated temperature tests it was found that using reduction factors suggested in published research for the specific steel grades improved results over applying the generic Eurocode elevated temperature steel strength reduction factors.

This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element analysis methodology for a quantitative evaluation of confinement in concrete-filled box-shaped unstiffened steel columns. The confinement effects of concrete in non-circular sections can be assessed in terms of maximum average lateral pressure. A brief review of a previous method adopted for the same purpose is also presented. The previous method is based on a two-dimensional finite element analysis method involving a concrete-steel interaction model. In both the present and previous methods, average lateral pressure on concrete is computed by means of the interaction forces present at the concrete-steel interface. Subsequently, the strength enhancement of confined concrete is empirically related to the maximum average lateral pressure. The results of the former and latter methods are then compared. It is found that the results of both methods are compatible in terms of confined concrete strengths, although the interaction model yields a somewhat overestimated estimation of confinement than those of the present method when relatively high strength concrete is used. Furthermore, the confinement in rectangular-shaped sections is investigated and the reliability of previously adopted simplifications in such cases is discussed.
