This paper presents a detailed parametric study, conducted using finite element tools to cover a range of several geometric and material parameters, on the behaviour of thin-walled partially encased composite (PEC) columns. The PEC columns studied herein are composed of thin-walled built-up H-shaped steel sections with concrete infill cast between the flanges. Transverse links are provided between the opposing flanges to improve resistance to local buckling. The parametric study is confined to eccentrically-loaded columns subjected to major axis bending only. The parameters that were varied include the overall column slenderness ratio (L/d), load eccentricity ratio (e/d), link spacing-to-depth ratio (s/d), flange plate slenderness ratio (b/t) and concrete compressive strength ($f_{cu}$). The overall column slenderness ratio was chosen to be the primary variable with values of 5, 10 and 15. Other parameters were varied within each case of L/d ratio. The effects of the selected parameters on the behaviour of PEC columns were studied with respect to the failure mode, peak axial load, axial load versus average axial strain response, axial load versus lateral displacement response, moment versus lateral displacement behaviour and the axial load-moment interaction diagram. The results of the parametric study are presented in the paper and the influences of each of the parameters investigated are discussed.

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are classified as lateral load-resisting systems. The feasibility of openings in the steel plate is a characteristic of SPSWs. The use of openings in SPSWs can lower the load capacity, stiffness, and energy dissipation. This study proposes a novel form of SPSWs that provides convenient access through openings by combining steel plates and eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). The proposed system also avoids a substantial reduction in the strength and stiffness. Hence, various geometric forms were analyzed through two different structural approaches. Groups 1, 2, and 3 included a steel EBF with a steel plate between the column and EBF in order to improve system performance. In Group 4, the proposed system was evaluated within an SPSW with openings and an EBF on the opening edge. To evaluate the performance of the proposed systems, the nonlinear finite element method (NL-FEM) was employed under cyclic loading. The hysteresis (load-drift) curve, stress contour, stiffness, and damping were evaluated as the structural outputs. The numerical models indicated that local buckling within the middle plate-EBF connection prevented a diagonal tension field. Moreover, in group 4, the EBF and stiffeners on the opening edge enhanced the structural response by approximately 7.5% in comparison with the base SPSW system.

케이블을 이용하여 장경간을 필요로 하는 교량의 시공은 일반적으로 불완전 한 구조계인 교량의 선단에 데릭 혹은 무한궤도 크레인을 설치하여 수상 및 육상으로 이송되는 교량 상판을 리프팅하여 시공하게 된다. 이와 같은 경우 일차적으로 과도한 크레인의 자중으로 인하여 불완전한 구조계에 결함을 발생시킬 수 있으며, 또한 하부 수송으로 인한 추가 비용 및 공기를 소요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 기존 시공방법을 개선하고자 개발된 교량 일 측에 편중 가능하고, 가동 붐을 설치하여 후방 이송 자재를 시공 지점으로 운반, 가설이 가능한 데릭 크레인의 시공 단계를 정의하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 데릭 크레인의 하중 재하 점을 고정부 4점으로 단순화하였으며, 가동 붐의 수직/수평 회전 범위를 고려하여 반력을 산정하였다. 또한 크레인의 '휴지' 및 '작업 중'의 단계로 나누어 가동 붐 및 강형, PC Slab에 의하여 발생하는 휨 모멘트를 시공단계에 반영하였다. 본 연구에 고려된 데릭 크레인은 접속교를 통한 육상 작업으로 시공 기간 및 비용을 줄일 수 있으며, 크레인 자체의 작은 중량으로 시공 중 재하 하중 감소를 꾀할 수 있다.

This paper aims to study the behavior of short reinforced concrete columns confined with external glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) sheets under eccentric loads. The experimental part of the study was achieved by testing 9 specimens under eccentric compression. Three eccentricity ratios corresponding to e/t = 0, 0.10, 0.50 in one direction of the column were used. Specimens were divided into three groups. The first group was the control one without confinement. The second group was fully wrapped with GFRP laminates before loading. The third group was wrapped under loading after reaching 75% of failure loads of the control specimens. The third group was investigated in order to represent the practical case of strengthening a loaded column with FRP laminates. All specimens were loaded until failure. The results show that GFRP laminates enhances both failure load and ductility response of eccentrically loaded column. Moreover, the study also illustrates the effect of confinement on the first crack load, lateral deformation, strain in reinforcement and failure pattern. Based on the analysis of the experimental results, a simple model has been proposed to predict the improvement of load carrying capacity under different eccentricity ratios. The predicted equation takes into consideration the eccentricity to cross section depth ratio, the ultimate strength of GFRP, the thickness of wrapping laminate, and the time of wrapping (before loading and under loading). A good correlation was obtained between experimental and analytical results.

본 연구에서는 연속 2-거더교에서 하부 수평브레이싱의 유 무에 따른 하중분배효과를 파악하기 위하여 실제 교량으로부터 1/5 축소 제작된 모형 교량을 이용하여 재하 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과에 의하면 편재하된 하중에 대해 수평브레이싱이 설치되면 바닥판과 가로보의 구조적 기능이 향상되어 하중의 분배효과가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 해석모델을 사용하여 수평브레이싱 유 무에 따른 하중분배율을 정량적으로 평가해 본 결과, 수평브레이싱이 미설치된 경우는 대부분 바닥판에 의해 편재하 하중의 21% 정도가 반대측 거더로 전달되었고, 설치된 경우는 가로보와 브레이싱, 그리고 바닥판 모두 하중분배에 기여하여 하중분배효과가 1.7배 정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 수평브레이싱이 설치로 인해 가로보와 바닥판, 그리고 수평브레이싱 부재가 유사폐합단면을 구성하여 시험체의 비틂 강성이 증가되기 때문으로 분석되었다.

This paper describes the collapse characteristics of the rectangular tube under eccentric compressive load. Overall buckling stress and bifurcation criterion (slenderness ration)are investigated. modified secant formula(MSF) is proposed to decide overall buckling stress. The bifurcation criterion which can distinguish between the local and overall buckling mode shapes is suggest by equating the local and overall buckling stresses. Additionally the effect of initial imperfection on bifurcation criterion is investigated.

사장교는 경간이 크기 때문에 발생하는 대변형 효과, 케이블의 현수 작용, 그리고 축력으로 인한 휨 강성 변화 등으로 비선형 거동이 나타난다. 사장교의 동적 거동은 구조물 안정성 검사를 위한 중요한 요소가 된다. 특히, 편재 이동하중이 작용하는 경우, 연직 변위와 비틂 변위는 복합될 뿐만 아니라 단면 좌우의 케이블 축력 변화도 중요한 동적 특성을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 편재 이동하중이 작용하는 사장교의 해석을 위한 이론적 연구와 유한 요소법을 제시하였고 이동 하중의 속도변화와 편심량의 크기에 따라 케이블의 장력과 절점 변위에 대한 동적 거동을 규명하였다. 본 연구에서 수행한 해석 결과에 따르면, 편재 이동 하중을 받는 사장교의 해석에서는 주형의 비틂과 이로 인한 케이블 축력 증가도 고려해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The demand for skyscrapers is increasing worldwide. Until now, various lateral resistance structures have been used for lateral displacement control of high-rise buildings. An outrigger damper system has been introduced recently to improve lateral dynamic response control performance further. However, a study of outrigger damper system is yet to be sufficiently investigated. In this study, time history analysis was performed to investigate the control performance of an outrigger damper system of high-rise building under eccentric loading. To do this, an actual scale 3-dimensional tall building model with an outrigger damper system was prepared. The control performance of the outrigger damper system was evaluated by varying stiffness and damping values. On the top floor torsional angle response to the earthquake load, was greatly affected by damping value. And the displacement response was affected greatly by the stiffness value and damping value of damper system. In conclusion, it is necessary to select the proper damping and stiffness values of the outrigger damper system.

In this paper, the bearing capacity of a non-eccentric and eccentric tubular, concrete-filled, steel bridge pier was studied through the finite element method. Firstly, to verify the validity of the numerical analysis, the finite element analysis of four steel tube columns with concrete in-fill was carried out under eccentric loading and horizontal cyclic loading. The analytical results were compared with experimental data. Secondly, the effects of the eccentricity of the vertical loading on the seismic performance of these eccentrically loaded steel tubular bridge piers were considered. According to the simulated results, with increasing eccentricity ratio, the bearing capacity on the eccentric side of a steel tubular bridge pier (with concrete in-fill) is greatly reduced, while the capacity on the opposite side is improved. Moreover, an empirical formula was proposed to describe the bearing capacity of such bridge piers under non-eccentric and eccentric load. This will provide theoretical evidence for the seismic design of the eccentrically loaded steel tubular bridge piers with concrete in-fill.
