건축구조용 강종을 사용한 고력볼트 보 이음부 설계시 연결판 강종을 어떻게 결정할 것인가에 대해 적절한 강종 선택 기준 제시가 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구는 이를 위한 기초 연구 단계로 보 부재 고력볼트 이음부 플랜지를 모사한 인장실험체에 대한 정적가력실험을 통해 건축구조용 강종 적용 유무에 따른 인장거동 차이를 평가하고, 그 결과를 후속 연구에 활용하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 이음부 내력 및 거동에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 플랜지 및 연결판의 두께와 강종 및 강도를 주요 변수로 실험체를 설계 및 제작하였다. 총 48개 실험체에 대한 인장실험결과 모든 실험체에서 공칭강도를 적용한 설계인장강도를 충분히 상회하는 인장하중 저항능력을 나타냈으며 연결판 설계강도가 플랜지 판 설계강도의 1.25배를 상회할 경우 플랜지 판의 파단에 따른 종국 상태 도달 가능성이 지배적인 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 플랜지 강종의 변화에 따른 최대인장하중의 변화는 그리 크지 않은 것으로 나타났으나 변형에서는 차이가 나타났다. 그리고 실험 결과 보 부재의 강종과 연결판 두께가 이음부 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자로 확인 되었다.

Bolted joint assembly for nuclear power plants consists of various components : cover plate, retainer plate, manway flange, gasket and stud bolts/nuts. To guarantee the soundness of the joint, it is important to prevent leakage through the gasket and reduce the stress concentration factor at the thread root. In this paper, Submodeling technique for the finite element method is proposed to accurately compute three dimensional contact stresses which govern the sealing performance and the maximum contact stresses at the threads root. For verification of global solutions used as boundary conditions of submodel solution, the stresses on the cover plate and the manway flange are measured by strain gages when internal pressure is applied to the bolted joint assembly. The numerical results are compared with the experimental results.

The maximum drifts are important to the seismic evaluation of steel buildings and connections, but the information can hardly be obtained from the post-earthquake field investigation. This research studies the feasibility of using the loss rate of bolt pretension as an earthquake damage predictor. Full-scale tests were made on four steel connections using bolted-web-welded-flange details. One connection was unreinforced (UN), another was reinforced with double shear plates (DS), and the other two used reduced beam sections (RBS). The preinstalled strain gauges were used to control the pretensions and monitor the losses of the high-strength bolts. The results showed that the loss rate of bolt pretension was highly related to the damage of the connections. The pretensions lost up to 10% in all the connections at the yield drifts of 0.5% to 1%. After yielding of the connections, the pretensions lost significantly until fracture occurred. The UN and DS connections failed with a maximum drift of 4 %, and the two RBS connections showed better ductility and failed with a maximum drift of 6%. Under the far-field-type loading protocol, the loss rate grew to 60%. On the contrary, the rate for the specimen under near-fault-type loading protocol was about 40%. The loss rate of bolt pretension is therefore recommended to use as an earthquake damage predictor. Additionally, the 10% and 40% loss rates are recommended to predict the limit states of connection yielding and maximum strength, respectively, and to define the performance levels of serviceability and life-safety for the buildings.

This paper presents some of the results from an experimental research project on the behavior of extended end-plate connections subjected to moment conducted at the Structural Laboratory of Jordan University of Science and Technology. Since the connection behavior affects the structural frame response, it must be included in the global analysis and design. In this study, the behavior of six full-scale stiffened and unstiffened cantilever connections of HEA- and IPE-sections has been investigated. Eight high strength bolts were used to connect the extended end-plate to the column flange in each case. Strain gauges were installed inside each of the top six bolts in order to obtain experimentally the actual tension force induced within each bolt. Then the connection behavior is characterized by the tension force in the bolt, extended end-plate behavior, moment-rotation relation, and beam and column strains. Some or all of these characteristics are used by many Standards; therefore, it is essential to predict the global behavior of column-beam connections by their geometrical and mechanical properties. The experimental test results are compared with two theoretical (equal distribution and linear distribution) approaches in order to assess the capabilities and accuracy of the theoretical models. A simple model of the joint is established and the essential parameters to predict its strength and deformational behavior are determined. The equal distribution method reasonably determined the tension forces in the upper two bolts while the linear distribution method underestimated them. The deformation behavior of the tested connections was characterized by separation of the column-flange from the extended end-plate almost down to the level of the upper two bolts of the lower group and below this level the two parts remained in full contact. The neutral axis of the deformed joint is reasonably assumed to pass very close to the line joining the upper two bolts of the lower group. Smooth monotonic moment-rotation relations for the all tested frames were observed.

The conception and experimental assessment of a removable friction-based shear connector (FBSC) for precast steel-concrete composite bridges is presented. The FBSC uses pre-tensioned high-strength steel bolts that pass through countersunk holes drilled on the top flange of the steel beam. Pre-tensioning of the bolts provides the FBSC with significant frictional resistance that essentially prevents relative slip displacement of the concrete slab with respect to the steel beam under service loading. The countersunk holes are grouted to prevent sudden slip of the FBSC when friction resistance is exceeded. Moreover, the FBSC promotes accelerated bridge construction by fully exploiting prefabrication, does not raise issues relevant to precast construction tolerances, and allows rapid bridge disassembly to drastically reduce the time needed to replace any deteriorating structural component (e.g., the bridge deck). A series of 11 push-out tests highlight why the novel structural details of the FBSC result in superior shear load-slip displacement behavior compared to welded shear studs. The paper also quantifies the effects of bolt diameter and bolt preload and presents a design equation to predict the shear resistance of the FBSC.

The aim of this experimental research is to investigate the conformity of the four-bolt unstiffened moment end-plate connections consisting of European steel sections which do not meet the limitations specified for beam flange width and overall beam depth in ANSI/AISC 358-10 to the requirements of seismic application. However, the connections are satisfactory with the limitations required by Turkish Earthquake Code. For this purpose, four test specimens were designed and cyclic load was applied to three specimens while one was tested under monotonic loading to provide data for the calibration of the analytical models. The moment-rotation hysteresis loops and the failure modes for all test specimens are presented. A full three-dimensional finite element model is also developed for each test specimen for use to predict their behavior and to provide a tool for generating subsequent extensive parametric studies. The test results show that all specimens performed well in terms of rotation capacity and strength. Finite element models are found to be capable of approximating the cyclic behavior of the extended end-plate connection specimens.

볼트 접합부의 정확한 해석을 위하여 접합 요소와 볼트 요소 및 쉘 요소를 사용한 방법을 개발하였다. 접합면을 단순하게 이상화시키는 접합 요소와 장력을 갖는 볼트 요소를 도입하였고, 전체적인 계산과정은 2단계, 즉 제안된 방법에 의한 초기 강성의 결정과 뉴턴-랩슨법에 근거하는 호장법을 이용한 비선형 거동의 추적으로 구분하여 행함으로써 계산의 효율성을 증대시켰다. 앵글을 사용한 반강접 접합부와 모멘트 판을 사용한 접합부를 해석하여 기존 실험 및 해석과 비교함으로써 제안한 방법의 정확성과 적용성을 입증하였다. 또한 볼트 접합부의 정확한 해석을 위해서는 접합면에서 발생하는 미끄럼짐의 고려가 반드시 필요하며 접합부를 구성하는 판재의 3차원적인 변형의 해석도 무시할 수 없는 역할을 하는 사실을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 국내 소규모 철골조 건축물에서 실제 시공된 보-기둥 약축 접합부에 대한 현황조사를 바탕으로 시공성을 향상시킨 약축접합부 상세를 제안하였으며, 제안된 약축접합부에 대한 반복가력 실험을 통해 접합부 내진성능을 평가하였다. 실험변수는 보-기둥 접합부에 사용된 볼트의 개수이다. 실험결과, 본 연구에서 제안하고 있는 보-기둥 약축 접합부의 거동은 수평 스티프너에 연결되는 고력볼트의 개수의 의해 결정되는 것으로 나타났다. 접합부에 4개 이상의 볼트접합이 사용될 경우 현행 기준에서 요구하는 부분 강접합 요구조건을 만족시키는 것으로 나타났다. 모든 실험체는 플랜지 연결플레이트의 연단쪽 보 플랜지 볼트 구멍 주위에서 국부적인 지압파괴와 파단 등이 발생하였다. 하지만, 웨브 높이와 플랜지 폭이 작은 기둥을 사용할 경우, 접합부에 사용되는 고력볼트의 개수가 제한적으로 사용되어야 할 것으로 판단되므로 향후 이 부분에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

In this study, we collect water control valves that have had accidents due to existing cracks, etc. are collected, and propose investigation items for strengthening the valve structural safety evaluation through a series of analyzes from valve specifications to physicochemical properties are proposed. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a large variation in the thickness of the body or flange of the valves to be investigated, which is considered to be very important factor, because it may affect the safety of the valve body against internal pressure and the flange connected with the bolt nut. Second, 60% of the valves under investigation had many voids in the valve body and flange, etc. and the decrease in thickness due to corrosion was relatively large on the inner surface in contact with water rather than the outer surface. It is judged that the investigation of depth included voids is very important factor. Third, all valves to be investigated are made of gray cast iron foam, and therefore it is judged that there is no major problem in chemical composition. It is judged that the chemical composition should be investigated. Fourth, as a physical investigation item, the analysis of metal morphology structure seems to be a very important factor for nodular cast iron from rather than a gray cast iron foam water valve with a flake structure. As it was found to be 46.7~68.8% of the standard recommended by KS, it could have a direct effect on damage such as cracks, and therefore it is judged that the evaluation of tensile strength is very important in evaluating the safety of the valve.
