The cone bolts with expanded front ends supply improved anchoring performances and increase energy absorbing capacities due to ploughing in the grouted drills. Within this study, use of a novel energy absorber for the cone bolt heads were investigated to assess its design in terms of supplying high support performances. Additionally, different grout material designs were tested to investigate whether the energy absorption capacities of the rock bolts can be improved using a silicone based thermoset polymer (STP) additive. To determine load bearing and energy absorption capacities, a series of deformation controlled pull-out tests were carried out by using bolt samples grouted in rock blocks. According to the results obtained from this study, maximum load bearing capacities of cone bolts are similar and mostly depend on the steel material strength, whereas the energy absorption capacity was determined to significantly vary in accordance with the displacement limits of the shanks. As a result of using STP additive and new polyamide absorber rings, displacement limits without the steel failure increase. The STP additive was found to improve the energy absorption capacities of grouted cone bolts. The absorber rings designed within this study were also assessed to be highly effective and able to double up the energy absorption capacities of the cone bolts.

스페이스프레임의 볼 조인트 접합부에서는 축부에 핀의 삽입을 위한 구멍이 존재하기 때문에 응력집중으로 인한 취성파단의 우려가 있다. 따라서 접합부에서의 변형능력이나 에너지흡수능력은 낮은 편이다. 본 연구에서는 볼 조인트 접합부의 소성변형능력을 향상시키기고 현장에서 발생할 수 있는 시공오차의 흡수가 가능하도록, 볼트의 나사부나 핀부의 취성파단 없이 감소된 축부에서 소성변형능력이 기대되는 새로운 접합상세를 개발하였으며 수치해석과 실험을 통해 그 성능을 검증하고자 하였다. 수치해석과 실험을 통하여 볼트의 축부 및 핀부의 단면을 조절함으로써 기존 고력볼트보다 소성변형능력이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

An efficient, economical and practical strengthening method for hollow brick infill walls was proposed and investigated in the present study, experimentally and numerically. This method aims at increasing the overall lateral strength and stiffness of the structure by increasing the contribution of the infill walls and providing the non-bearing components of the structure with the capability of absorbing earthquake-induced energy to minimize structural damage during seismic excitations. A total of eleven full-scale infill walls strengthened with expanded mild steel plates were tested under diagonal monotonic loading to simulate the loading condition of the non-bearing walls during an earthquake. The contact surface between the plates and the wall was increased with the help of plaster. Thickness of the plates bonded to both faces of the wall and the spacing of the bolts were adopted as test parameters. The experiments indicated that the plates were able to carry a major portion of the tensile stresses induced by the diagonal loads and provided the walls walls with a considerable confining effect. The composite action attained by the plates and the wall until yielding of the bolts increased the load capacities, rigidities, ductilities and energy-absorption capacities of the walls, considerably.
