Welded Unreinforced Flange-Welded Web (WUF-W) connection is one of Special Moment Frame (SMF) specified in ANSI/AISC-358. From the experimental test of WUF-W connection specimens conducted by the previous study, fracture occurred in the beam flange before achieving total inter-story drift angle of 0.04radian required for Special Moment Frames (SMF) system even though the specimens satisfied the design and detailing requirement specified in ANSI/AISC-358. These results are estimated as problem of the access hole geometry. In this study, a full-scale WUF-W connection specimen was made with a modified access hole geometry, and tested with the same test setting and loading as the previous test. From test results, the deformation capacity of the tested WUF-W connection specimen exceeded 4%, which is required for connections in SMF system. Comparing with the WUF-W specimens of the previous study, the strain demand of the beam flange in the tested specimen was decreased and energy dissipation capacity of the specimen was improved.

The majority of connections in moment resisting frames are considered as being fully-rigid. Consequently, the real behavior of the connection, which has some level of flexibility, is ignored. This may result in inaccurate predictions of structural response. This study investigates the influence of flexibility of the extended end-plate connections in the steel moment frames. This is done at two levels. First, the actual micro-behavior of extended end-plate moment connections is explored with respect to joint flexibility. Then, the macro-behavior of frames with end-plate moment connections is investigated using modal, nonlinear static pushover and incremental dynamic analyses. In all models, the P-Delta effects along with material and geometrical nonlinearities were included in the analyses. Results revealed considerable differences between the behavior of the structural frame with connections modeled as fully-rigid versus those when flexibility was incorporated, specifically difference occurred in the natural periods, strength, and maximum inter-story drift angle.

본 연구는 춤이 큰 하이브리드 합성보의 1차 휨 성능 평가 후, 2차 연구로써 춤이 큰 하이브리드 합성보와 기둥 접합부의 내진성능평가 실험이다. 실험 변수는 보 춤, 부모멘트 철근 수, 브라켓과 보 이음부의 볼트 수 등으로 3개의 실험체를 제작하였다. 접합부 상세는 기둥에 브라켓을 접합 후, 브라켓에 하이브리드 보를 이음하였다. 브라켓과 보 이음은 하부와 웨브는 볼트접합, 상부는 용접접합하였다. 실험결과 내력은 정 부모멘트 모두 소성모멘트($M_p$) 이상을 확보하였으며, 변형능력은 3% 이상의 층간변위각을 확보하여 합성중간모멘트골조의 요구조건을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 춤이 큰 하이브리드 합성보에 철골철근콘크리트 기둥을 적용하는 경우 본 연구결과의 접합부상세를 적용하면, 중간모멘트골조의 내진성능을 확보할 수 있다고 판단된다.
