Local responses of steel plate-concrete composite (SC) walls under impact loads are typically evaluated using design equations available in the AISC N690s1-15. These equations enable design of impact-resistant SC walls, but some essential parts such as the effects of wall size and shear reinforcement ratio have not been addressed. Also, since they were developed for design basis events, improved equations are required for accurate prediction of the impact behaviors of SC walls for beyond design basis impact evaluation. This paper presents a numerical study to construct a robust numerical model of SC walls subjected to impact loads to reasonably predict the SC-wall impact behavior, to evaluate the findings observed from the impact tests including the effects of the key design parameters, and to assess the actual responses of full-scale SC walls. The numerical calculations are validated using intermediate-scale impact tests performed previously. The influences of the fracture energy of concrete and the conservative aspects of the current design equations are discussed carefully. Recommendations are made for design practice.

This paper presents a new structural system to use as retaining walls. In civil works, there is a general trend to use traditional reinforced concrete (RC) retaining walls to resist soil pressure. Despite their good resistance, RC retaining walls have some disadvantages such as need for huge temporary formworks, high dense reinforcing, low construction speed, etc. In the present work, a composite wall with only one steel plate (steel-concrete) is proposed to address the disadvantages of the RC walls. In the proposed system, steel plate is utilized not only as tensile reinforcement but also as a permanent formwork for the concrete. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed SC composite system, an experimental program that includes nine SC composite wall specimens is developed. In this experimental study, the effects of different parameters such as distance between shear connectors, length of shear connectors, concrete ultimate strength, use of compressive steel plate and compressive steel reinforcement are investigated. In addition, a 3D finite element (FE) model for SC composite walls is proposed using the finite element program ABAQUS and load-displacement curves from FE analyses were compared against results obtained from physical testing. In all cases, the proposed FE model is reasonably accurate to predict the behavior of SC composite walls under out-of-plane loads. Results from experimental work and numerical study show that the SC composite wall system has high strength and ductile behavior under flexural loads. Furthermore, the design equations based on ACI code for calculating out-ofplate flexural and shear strength of SC composite walls are presented and compared to experimental database.

본 연구에서는 RC 구조 슬래브와 SC 구조 전단벽이 만나는 접합부의 거동특성을 파악하고 RC구조 슬래브-SC구조 전단벽 이질접합부의 전단마찰내력을 평가하고 KEPIC SNG의 접합면 소요전단강도 기준의 안전율을 평가하기 위해 실험연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과, 접합면의 전단마찰내력은 약 300kN으로 나타났고, 변위가 증가할수록 철근의 내력분담이 증가하게 되며, 상부철근보다는 하부철근의 전단내력 분담율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하부철근을 구성한 경우에는 하부철근이 없는 실험체에 비해 40% 이상 전단내력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

The concept of using Steel-concrete (SC) composite walls as retaining walls has recently been introduced by the authors and their effectiveness of resisting out-of-plane loads has also been demonstrated. In this paper, an improved analytical formulation based on partial interaction theory, which has previously been developed by the authors, is presented. The improved formulation considers a new loading condition and also accounts for cracking in concrete to simulate the real conditions. Due to a limited number of test specimens, further finite element (FE)simulations are performed in order to verify the analytical procedure in more detail. It is observed that the results from the improved analytical procedure are in excellent agreement with both experimental and numerical results. Moreover, a detailed parametric study is conducted using the developed FE model to investigate effects of different parameters, such as distance between shear connectors, shear connector length, concrete strength, steel plate thickness, concrete cover thickness, wall's width to thickness ratio, and wall's height to thickness ratio, on the behavior of SC composite walls subjected to out-of-plane loads.

이 연구에서는 SC 전단벽의 전단 연결재인 스터드의 배치와 형상이 SC 전단벽의 거동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 전단벽체가 전단력과 축하중, 휨모멘트 및 전단력의 조합하중을 받을 때의 거동을 해석적으로 검토하였다. 이를 위해 서로 다른 배치간격과 형상의 스터드가 배열된 SC 전단벽을 대상으로 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 강판과 콘크리트가 설계기준에 맞게 잘 합성된 SC 벽체에서 인장강도에 비해 압축강도가 약 3배정도 컸다. 유한요소법으로 SC 전단벽의 조합하중에 대한 거동을 수치해석하여 설계기준과 비교한 결과, 이들 모두 설계강도를 상회하는 결과를 나타내었다. KEPIC SNG의 경우, 축하중강도의 0.1~0.2배 수준의 축하중에는 영향이 없었으나 해석결과는 축하중이 증가할수록 모멘트와 전단강도가 감소함을 확인하였다.

A thermal-mechanical coupling finite element model of the steel-plate concrete composite (SC) wall is established, taking into account the strain rate effect and variation in mechanical and thermal properties under different temperatures. Verifications of the model against previous fire test and impact test results are carried out. The impact response of the SC wall under elevated temperatures is further investigated. The influences of the fire exposure time on the impact force and displacement histories are discussed. The results show that as the fire exposure time increases, the deflection increases and the impact resistance decreases. A formula is proposed to calculate the reduction of the allowable impact energy considering the fire exposure time.

The behavior of connections between open sandwich slabs and double steel skin composite walls in steel plate-concrete(SC) structure is investigated by a series of experimental programs to identify the roles of components in the transfer of forces. Such connections are supposed to transfer shear by the action of friction on the interface between the steel surface and the concrete surface, as well as the shear resistance of the bottom steel plate attached to the wall. Experimental observation showed that shear transfer in slabs subjected to shear in short spans is explained by direct force transfer via diagonal struts and indirect force transfer via truss actions. Shear resistance at the interface is enhanced by the shear capacity of the shear plate as well as friction caused by the compressive force along the wall plate. Shear friction resistance along the wall plate was deduced from experimental observation. Finally, the appropriate design strength of the connection is proposed for a practical design purpose.

이 연구에서는 SC 전단벽의 전단 연결재인 스터드의 배치와 형상이 SC 전단벽의 거동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 전단벽체가 반복의 전단하중을 받을 때의 거동을 해석적으로 검토하였다. 이를 위해 서로 다른 배치간격과 형상의 스터드가 배열된 SC 전단벽을 대상으로 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 하중-변위이력곡선으로부터 스켈레톤 곡선을 얻었고 스터드의 간격이 좁을수록 극한강도 및 항복강도가 크게 나타남을 확인했다. 또한, 일반 스터드 보다 경사부재가 있는 경사 스터드의 강도가 더 크게 나타났고 강성비가 줄어들수록 감쇠비가 증가함을 확인했다. 최종적으로 스터드의 간격이 좁을수록 누적손상에너지가 크게 나타나며 내진성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

이 연구에서는 SC 전단벽의 전단 연결재인 스터드의 배치와 형상이 SC 전단벽의 거동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 전단벽체가 강제진동을 받을 때의 거동을 해석적으로 검토하였다. 이를 위해 서로 다른 배치간격과 형상의 스터드가 배열된 SC 전단벽을 대상으로 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 시간이력해석으로부터 구한 감쇠비가 파워반감대역폭법이 전반적으로 높게 그리고 적합지수함수법이 가장 낮은 수준으로 산정했으며 설계강도 절반정도에서의 감쇠비는 3.0~4.2%로, 설계강도에서는 4.1~5.2%로 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 개선된 스터드를 사용할 때, 감쇠비가 약간 감소하였고 DS1과 DS2 간에는 일관된 결과가 나타나지 않았다. 스터드의 간격이 필요이상 증가할 경우, 고유진동수가 감소하고 감쇠비가 증가함을 확인하였다.
