콘크리트의 구속효과 및 재료 비선형성, 강재의 변형 경화, 초기작용 축력을 고려하여 원형 콘크리트 충전 강관(Concrete Filled Steel Tube : CFT) 기둥의 해석을 위한 프로그램을 작성하고 검증 및 해석을 수행하였다. 축력-모멘트 상관관계 해석, 모멘트-곡률 해석, 모멘트-횡변위에 대한 해석을 수행하고, 선행연구자의 실험결과와 비교하여 검증하였다. 검증결과, 작성된 프로그램은 실제 CFT 기둥의 거동에 근접하였으며, 콘크리트의 구속효과를 고려한 경우 그렇지 않은 경우보다 더 큰 강도와 연성능력을 나타내었다. 콘크리트의 강도와 강관의 두께 변화에 따른 간단한 매개변수 해석을 수행하였으며, 콘크리트의 강도 증가 시 CFT 기둥의 강도는 증가하나 연성은 저하되는 결과를 보여주었다. 반면에 강관 두께를 증가시키는 경우에는, CFT 기둥의 강도와 연성 모두 증가하는 결과를 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 f/L비가 CFT 트러스 거더의 극한강도에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 CFT 트러스 거더의 정적실험을 수행하였다. f/L비가 다른 2개의 CFT 트러스 거더를 제작하여 휨 실험을 수행하였다. CFT 트러스 거더의 지간은 20,000 mm이고, 상현재와 하현재는 콘크리트를 충전한 원형 강관 단면으로 구성되었다. 주요 실험변수인 f/L비가 극한강도와 강성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험결과, CFT 트러스 거더는 우수한 탄소성 특성과 연성능력을 보였고, f/L비는 CFT 트러스 거더의 전체 강성을 증가시켜 극한강도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. CFT 트러스 거더의 f/L비가 증가하면 극한강도가 증가하는데 f/L비가 2배 증가하면 극한강도는 약 80% 정도 증가하였다. 또한, CFT 트러스 거더는 극한강도에 도달한 이후에도 상당한 수준의 변형능력을 보여 주었다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해서 CFT 트러스 거더는 교량의 거더 부재로 효율적으로 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.

This paper focuses on the analytical behavior of modular circular concrete-filled tubular (CFT) column with enhanced bracing details. To design a full-scale bridge pier of multiple circular concrete-filled tubes, numerical analysis was used to evaluate structural performance according to load directivity. In previous research (Ma et al. 2012, Shim et al. 2014), low cycle fatigue failure at bracing joints was observed, so enhanced bracing details to prevent premature failure are proposed in this analysis. The main purpose of this research is to investigate seismic performance for the diagonal direction load without premature failure at the joints when the structure reaches the ultimate load. The ABAQUS finite-element software is used to evaluate experimental performance. A quasi-static loading condition on a modular bridge pier is introduced to investigate structural performance. The results obtained from the analysis are evaluated by comparing with load-displacement responses from experiments. The concrete-filled tubes with enhanced bracing details showed higher energy dissipation capacity and proper performance without connection failure for a diagonal load.

According to the results of 9 circular concrete filled steel tube (CFT) push-out tests, a new theoretical model for average bond stress versus free end slip curve is proposed. The relationship between verage bond stress and free end slip is obtained considering some varying influential parameters such as slenderness ratio and diameter-to-thickness ratio. Based on measured steel tube strain and relative slip at different longitudinal positions, the distribution of bond stress and relative slip along the length of steel tube is obtained. An equation for predicting the varying bond-slip relationship along longitudinal length and a position function reflecting the variation are proposed. The presented method can be used in the application of finite element method to analyze the behavior of CFT structures.

Concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) composite columns, either circular (CCFT) or rectangular (RCFT), have many economical and aesthetic advantages but the behavior of their connections are complicated. This study aims to investigate, through an experimental program, the performance and behavior of different connections configurations between circular concrete filled steel tube columns (CCFT) and gusset plates subjected to shear and axial compression loadings. The study included seventeen connection subassemblies consisting of a fixed length steel tube and gusset plate connected to the tube end with different details tested under half cyclic loading. A notable effect was observed on the behavior of the connections due to its detailing changes with respect to capacity, failure mode, ductility, and stress distribution.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the mechanical performances of polygonal concrete-filled circular steel tubular (CFT) stub columns under axial loading through combined experimental and numerical study. A total of 32 specimens were designed to investigate the effect of the concrete strength and steel ratio on the compressive behavior of polygonal CFT stub columns. The ultimate bearing capacity, ductility and confinement effect were analyzed based on the experimental results and the failure modes were discussed in detail. Besides, ABAQUS was adopted to establish the three dimensional FE model. The composite action between the core concrete and steel tube was further discussed and clarified. It was found that the behavior of CFT stub column changes with the change of the cross-section, and the change is continuous. Finally, based on both experimental and numerical results, a unified formula was developed to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of polygonal CFT stub columns according to the superposition principle with rational simplification. The predicted results showed satisfactory agreement with both experimental and FE results.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유쉬트로 추가구속된 각형 CFT기둥 실험체의 단조압축실험을 수행하였고 이를 토대로 실험체의 연성능력을 평가하였다. 실험변수는 탄소섬유쉬트 보강겹수와 폭-두께비, 갭부착유무이며 실험변수에 따라 총 9개의 실험체를 제작하여 단조압축실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 통하여 각 실험체의 파괴거동, 하중-축변위 곡선, 최대내력, 변형성능을 비교한다. 탄소섬유쉬트의 추가구속은 기둥의 국부좌굴을 지연시켰으며 갭의 부착으로 탄소섬유쉬트의 구속분담시점을 지연시켜 연성능력은 상승한 것으로 나타났다.

콘크리트피복 충전강관의 휨-압축 성능을 평가하기 위한 편심압축실험을 수행하였다. 기둥 주철근의 국부좌굴을 구속하고 콘크리트피복의 조기파괴를 방지하기 위하여 U형 띠철근 상세를 제안하였다. 주요 실험변수는 축하중 편심거리, 띠철근 간격, 그리고 콘크리트피복 여부이다. 실험결과 얇은 콘크리트피복에 수직균열이 조기에 발생하였지만 실험체의 최대강도는 콘크리트 피복의 기여도를 고려한 예측강도를 만족하였다. 또한, 내부 원형강관으로 인하여 제안된 콘크리트피복 충전강관은 우수한 변형능력을 나타냈다. 실험체의 휨-압축 강도 및 휨강성을 현행 설계기준과 비교하여 분석하였다.

This study intends to improve the structural details of the anchors in the conventional CFT column-to-foundation connection. To that goal, finite element analysis is conducted with various design variables (number and embedded length of deformed bars, number, aspect ratio, height ratio and thickness ratio of ribs) selected based upon the results of loading test and strength evaluation. The finite element analysis is performed using ABAQUS and the analytical results are validated by comparison with the load-displacement curves obtained through loading test applying axial and transverse loads. The behavioral characteristics of the numerical model according to the selected design variables are verified and the corresponding results are evaluated.

This paper presents a plan and guidelines that were drawn for Korean based research carried out on the fire-resistance of CFT columns. This research was carried out by reviewing the Korean regulations related to the fire-resistance of CFT columns and examining studies which had been made in Korea as well as overseas. The first phase of the study plan was to compare the fire-resistance of square CFT columns without fire protection (obtained through fire-resistance tests and numerical analyses) with estimated values (obtained through fire-resistance design formulas proposed in Korea and overseas). This comparison provided conclusions as outlined below. Fire-resistance tests conducted in this study proved that, when the actual design load is taken into consideration, square CFT columns without fire protection are able to resist a fire for more than one hour. A comparison was made of test and analysis results with the fire-resistance time based on the AIJ code, the AISC design formula and the estimation formula suggested for Korea. The results of this comparison showed that the test and analysis results for specimens SAH1, SAH2-1, SAH2-2 and SAH3 were almost identical with the AIJ code, the AISC design formula and estimation formula. For specimens SAH4 and SAH5, the estimation formula was more conservative than the AIJ code and the AISC design formula. It was necessary to identify the factors that have an influence on the fire-resistance of CFT columns without fire protection and to draw fire-resistance design formulas for these columns. To achieve this, it is proposed that numerical analyses and tests be conducted in order to evaluate the fire-resistance of circular CFT columns, the influence of eccentricity existing as an additional factor and the influence of the slenderness ratio of the columns. It is also suggested that the overall behavior of CFT structures without fire protection within a fire be evaluated through analysis simulation.
