The existing CFT columns present the deterioration in confining effect after the yield of steel tube, local buckling and the deterioration in load capacity. If lateral load such as earthquake load is applied to CFT columns, strong shearing force and moment are generated at the lower part of the columns and local buckling appears at the column. In this study, axial compression test and beam-column test were conducted for existing CFT square column specimens and those reinforced with carbon fiber sheets (CFS). The variables for axial compression test were width-thickness ratio and the number of CFS layers and those for beamcolumn test were concrete strength and the number of CFS layers. The results of the compression test showed that local buckling was delayed and maximum load capacity improved slightly as the number of layers increased. The specimens' ductility capacity improved due to the additional confinement by carbon fiber sheets which delayed local buckling. In the beam-column test, maximum load capacity improved slightly as the number of CFS layers increased. However, ductility capacity improved greatly as the increased number of CFS layers delayed the local buckling at the lower part of the columns. It was observed that the CFT structure reinforced with carbon fiber sheets controlled the local buckling at columns and thus improved seismic performance. Consequently, it was deduced that the confinement of CFT columns by carbon fiber sheets suggested in this study would be widely used for reinforcing CFT columns.

The connection with combined cross diaphragm is developed for the connection of square CFT column and steel beam and proposed to be used for the frame with asymmetric span length. The structural characteristics of this connection lie in the penetration of the beam flange in the direction of major axis through the column for the smooth flow of stress. The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamic behavior and stress flow of suggested connection and to evaluate the resistance to shock of connection. Four T-type CFT column-to-beam specimens; two with combined cross diaphragm and the others with interior and through diaphragms, the existing connection types, were made for cyclic load test guided by the load program of ANSI/AISC SSPEC 2002. The results show that the proposed connection is more efficient than existing ones in terms of strength, stress flow and energy absorption and satisfies the seismic performance required in the region of weak/moderate earthquakes.

As China's infrastructure continues to grow, concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) structures are attracting increasing interest for use in engineering applications in earthquake prone regions owing to their high section modulus, high strength, and good seismic performance. However, in a corrosive environment, the seismic resistance of the CFST columns may be affected to a certain extent. This study attempts to investigate the mechanical behaviours of square CFST members under both a cyclic load and an acid rain attack. First, the tensile mechanical properties of steel plates with various corrosion rates were tested. Second, a total of 12 columns with different corrosion rates were subjected to a reversed cyclic load and tested. Third, comparisons between the test results and the predicted ultimate strength by using four existing codes were carried out. It was found that the corrosion leads to an evident decrease in yield strength, elastic modulus, and tensile strain capacity of steel plates, and also to a noticeable deterioration in the ultimate strength, ductility, and energy dissipation of the CFST members. A larger axial force ratio leads to a more significant resulting deterioration of the seismic behaviour of the columns. In addition, the losses of both thickness and yield strength of an outer steel tube caused by corrosion should be taken into account when predicting the ultimate strength of corroded CFST columns.

AISC(2005)나 KBC(2005)등의 기준에서는 콘크리트 충전 강관(Concrete Filled Steel Tube) 기둥의 내력산정에서 폭두께비의 제한을 두고 있으며 최대 폭두께비를 초과하는 기둥에 대해서는 설계식을 제시하지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 stiffened (양단지지) 플레이트에서는 좌굴이 발생하더라도 바로 내력저하가 발생하지 않고 상당한 양의 좌굴 후 강도를 발휘할 수 있어 폭두께비가 큰 강관을 사용하는 것이 경제적일 수 있다는 점을 착안, 유효폭 개념을 도입해서 폭두께비가 큰 각형 CFT의 강도를 계산할 수 있는 설계식을 제안하였다. AISC 2005, KBC 2005와 본 연구에서 제안한 식을, 폭두께비를 변수로 수행한 4개의 각형 CFT 기둥 실험결과와 비교하였며 제안된 설계식의 적용가능성을 확인하였다. 이에 Uy(2005), Dalin Liu(2005)는 폭두께비가 큰 단주 CFT에 한에서 선행 연구된 실험데이타를 근거로 제안 설계식을 단순적용 하였다. 폭두께비가 초과된 각형CFT 단주를 검토 대상기본으로 1. 용접 조립된 정사각형 단면 2. 모살용접된 정사각형 단면 (b/t 60mm. 80mm, 100mm) 3. 한 폭면의 폭두께비가 초과하는 직사각형단면의 (b/t 45.5) 실험체를 선정하여 제안식의 타당성을 검토해 보고자 한다.

The objective of this study is to experimentally scrutinize the axial performance of built-up concrete filled steel tube (CFT) columns composed of steel plates. In this case, the main parameters cross section types, compressive strength of filled concrete, and the effect of welding lines. Welded built-up steel box columns are fabricated by connecting two pieces of cold-formed U-shaped or four pieces of L-shaped thin steel plates with continuous penetration groove welding line located at mid-depth of stub column section. Furthermore, traditional square steel box sections with no welding lines are investigated for the comparison of axial behavior between the generic and build-up cross sections. Accordingly, 20 stub columns with thickness and height of 2 and 300 mm have been manufactured. As a result, welding lines in built-up specimens act as stiffeners because have higher strength and thickness in comparison to the plates. Subsequently, by increasing the welding lines, the load bearing capacity of stub columns has been increased in comparison to the traditional series. Furthermore, for specimens with the same confinement steel tubes and concrete core, increment of B/t ratio has reduced the ductility and axial strength.

콘크리트 충전강관 기둥은 강관의 구속효과에 의해 콘크리트의 압축내력 상승과, 콘크리트에 의한 강관의 국부좌굴 보강효과에 의해 부재내력이 상승하고 뛰어난 변형성능을 발휘한다. 하지만, 기둥단면이 커질 경우 합성효과를 발휘하기 위하여 스터드 볼트나 후 시공 앵커 볼트를 사용해야 하는 시공상의 문제점이 발생된다. 이를 극복함과 동시에 합성효과를 증대시키기 위한 방안으로 내부에 리브가 설치된 용접조립 기둥이 소개되었다. 내부 리브는 콘크리트와 맞물려 있어 리브의 변형은 콘크리트의 균열을 촉진시키는 역할을 동반하게 된다. 이러한 잠재적인 문제에 대한 해결책은 강관 리브의 변형에 저항할 수 있도록 콘크리트 인성을 증가시킬 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 언급된 두 가지의 문제점이 효과적으로 해결될 경우 용접조립 각형강관 기둥은 내화성능 확보가 가능하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 해결방안으로 내부 콘크리트를 강섬유와 혼입하여 기둥 자체의 연성과 인성을 증대시키는 것에 중점을 맞추고 있다. 내화성능 평가를 위한 시험체는 총 8개 로 하중비에 따른 재하가열 실험을 실시하고 화재 전후 거동과 열 변형 능력을 주요변수별로 분석하였다. 실험결과와 선행연구 비교를 통해 열 전달과 열응력 해석 모델의 신뢰성을 확보하였으며, 강섬유 혼입율에 따른 변수해석을 수행하였다.

The composite framed structures, consisting of RC columns and steel beams more popular in korea because of their efficiency and quality. However the force transfer mechanisms between the column and beam may by very complicated since the materials of columns and beams are different. This study develops "the column penetration joint" which the web of steel beam doesn't penetrate and which could improve the strength, deformation, and energy dissipation capacities compared to existing composite joints. It is the concrete-filled square tube joint with the exterior diaphragms and the cruciform stiffening plates. This study evaluated the strength of RC column penetration to steel beam connection by analyzing the results of partial experiments, and reviewed the applicability the strength formula through the comparison of tested results of joint experiment.

The objective of this study is to clarify the structural features of members consisting of connection, as a series of the previous study on the CFT column-to-beam tensile connection with combined cross diaphragm. This connection has the merits that the stress is distributed evenly on the beam flange and the diaphragm and the stress concentration is reduced, by improving the stress transfer route and restraining abrupt deformation of diaphragm. The finite element analysis was performed to find out the stress transfer through sleeve which is an important member of the connection with combined cross diaphragm. The length and thickness of sleeve were used as variables for the analysis. As the analysis results, the length and thickness of sleeve didn't influence on the capacity of the connection and played a role of a medium to transfer the stress from the diaphragm to the filled concrete. It is proposed that the appropriate length of sleeve be the same value as the diameter of sleeve and the appropriate ratio of sleeve diameter to sleeve thickness be 20. Two equations for evaluation of the load-carrying capacity of the connection were also proposed through the modification of the evaluation equation suggested in the previous study.

This paper handles the repairing of deficient square Concrete-Filled Steel-Tube (CFST) beams subject to bending through an experimental and numerical program. Eight square-CFST beams were tested. A 5-mm artificial notch was induced at mid-span of seven beams, four of them were repaired by using CFRP sheets and two were repaired by using GFRP sheets. The beam deflection, strain and ultimate moments were recorded. It was found that providing different cut-off points for the different layers of FRP sheets prohibited failure at termination points due to stress concentrations. Using different lengths of FRP sheets around the notch retarded crack propagation and prevented FRP rupture at the crack position. Finite element analysis was then conducted and the proposed FE model was verified against the recorded experimental data. The influence of various parameters as FRP sheet length, tensile modulus and the number of layers were studied. The moment capacity of damaged square-CFST beams was improved up to 77.6% when repaired by using four layers of CFRP, however, this caused a dramatic decrease in beam deflection. U-wrapping of notched-CFST beam with 0.75 of its length provided a comparable behaviour as wrapping the full length of the beam.
