부재 교차 결합부 조건에 따른 초기강성은 고정 조건인 경우와 비교하여 반고정 조건인 경우 33% 작게 나타났으나 부재 교차 결합부 특성에 의하여 재하지점과 3m 떨어진 지점에서는 9% 크게 나타났다. 즉, 고정 조건인 경우 구조물 전체로 하중이 분산되어 재하지점과 떨어진 지점에서는 상대적으로 반고정 조건 구조물의 강성이 높게 나타났다. 기초 조건에 따른 초기 강성은 강관 삽입 기초의 경우에는 고정기초 조건과 비교하여 31% 크게 나타났으며, 휨강성은 20% 높게 나타났다. 인터페이스 요소(beam interface element, BIE) 및 지반요소(3-D solid element)를 사용하여 재하시험 결과를 기반으로 각종 계수를 산정하고 시험조건과 동일하게 수치모델링하여 유한요소해석을 수행한 결과 실험결과와 유사한 구조거동을 나타냈다. 그러나 극한하중 조건에서는 비선형 특성의 발현 등에 의하여 다소 상이한 결과 값을 보였다. 이상의 결과로부터 플라스틱 필름 온실의 설계 및 구조성능 평가에서 절점 및 지점 조건에 대한 임의 또는 과다한 이상화는 구조물의 성능 평가에 적지 않은 영향을 줄 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한편 플라스틱 필름 온실은 세장한 부재로 구성된 유연한 철골 구조물이므로 구조성능 산정에 있어서 좌굴과 함께 대변형 및 지반의 비선형 특성 등을 충분히 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

골조 유닛 모듈러 구조 형식은 기 제작된 유닛 구조물을 적층하여 건물을 보다 간편히 건설을 할 수 있어 중, 고층 건물에 적용이 확대되고 있다. 이러한 유닛 모듈러 구조 형식은 외력에 의하여 발생하는 축력과 휨모멘트를 지반에 잘 전달시켜야 함으로 각각의 유닛구조물은 기초와 적절히 연결되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 형태의 매입형 유닛-기초 접합부를 제안하였으며, 제안된 접합부의 성능을 일련의 실험 연구를 통하여 평가하였다. 총 5개의 실물 크기의 실험체를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 매입 길이와 엔드 플레이트와 같은 제안된 유닛-기초 접합부의 휨거동에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자들의 영향을 살펴보았다. 실험결과, 모든 실험체에서 강성은 최소한 반강접의 강성을 상회하는 것으로 나타났으며, 기둥의 매입길이는 본 연구에서 수행한 실험체에서 약 200mm가 적절한 것으로 파악되었다.

Several issues regarding the structural idealization of steel buildings with perimeter moment resisting steel frames (MRSFs) and interior gravity frames (GFs) are studied. Results indicate that the contribution of GFs to the lateral structural resistance may be significant. The contribution increases when the stiffness of the connection of the GFs is considered and is larger for inelastic than for elastic behavior. The interstory shears generally increase when the connections stiffness is taken into account. Resultant stresses at some base columns of MRSFs also increase in some cases but to a lesser degree. For columns of the GFs, however, the increment is significant. Results also indicate that modeling the building as planes frames may result in larger interstory shears and displacements and resultant stresses than those obtained from the more realistic 3-D formulation. These differences may be much larger when semi-rigid (SR) connections are considered. The conservativism is more for resultant stresses. The differences observed in the behaviour of each structural representation are mainly due to a) the elements that contribute to strength and stiffness and b) the dynamics characteristics of each structural representation. It is concluded that, if the structural system under consideration is used, the three-dimensional model should be used in seismic analysis, the GFs should be considered as part of the lateral resistance system, and the stiffness of the connections should be included in the design of the GFs. Otherwise, the capacity of gravity frames may be overestimated while that of MRSFs may be underestimated.

This paper examines the behaviour of two types of practical open beam-to-tubular column connection details subjected to combined moment, axial and/or shear loads. Detailed continuum finite element models are developed and validated against available experimental results, and extended to deal with flexural, axial and shear load interactions. A numerical investigation is then carried out on the behaviour of selected connections with different stiffness and strength characteristics under various load combination scenarios. The influence of applied levels of axial tensile or compressive loads on the bending stiffness and capacity is examined and discussed. Additionally, the interaction effects between shear forces and co-existing bending and axial loads are examined and shown to be comparatively insignificant in terms of stiffness and capacity in most cases. It is also shown that the range of connections considered in this paper can provide rotational ductility levels in excess of those required under typical design scenarios. Based on these findings, a simplified component-based representation is proposed and described, and its ability to represent the connection response under combined loading is verified using results from detailed numerical simulations.

Many authors have established the usefulness of concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) sections as compression members while few have proved their utility as flexural members. To explore their prospective as part of CFST frame structures, two types of connections using extended end plate and seat angle are proposed for exterior joints of CFST beams and CFST columns. To investigate the performance and failure modes of the proposed bolted connections subjected to static loads, an experimental program has been executed involving ten specimens of exterior beam-to-column joints subjected to monotonically increasing load applied at the tip of beam, the performance is appraised in terms of load deformation behaviour of joints. The test parameters varied are the beam section type, type and diameter of bolts. To validate the experimental behaviour of the proposed connections in CFST beam-column joints, finite element analysis for the applied load has been performed using software ATENA-3D and the results of the proposed models are compared with experimental results. The experimental results obtained agree that the proposed CFST beam-column connections perform in a semi-rigid and partial strength mode as per specification of EC3.

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.

Most connections of steel structures exhibit flexible behaviour under cyclic loading. The flexible connections can be assumed as nonlinear rotational springs attached to the ends of each beam. The nonlinear behaviour of the connections can be considered by suitable moment-rotation relationship. Time-history analysis by direct integration method can be used as a powerful technique to determine the nonlinear dynamic response of the structure. In conventional numerical integration, the response is evaluated for a series of short time increments. The limitations on the size of time intervals can be removed by using Chen and Robinson improved time history analysis method, in which the integrated displacements are used as the new variables in integrated equation of motion. The proposed method permits longer time intervals and reduces the computational works. In this paper the nonlinearity behaviour of the structure is summarized on the connections, and the step by step improved time-history analysis is used to calculate the dynamic response of the structure. Several numerical calculations which indicate the applicability and advantages of the proposed methodology are presented. These calculations illustrate the importance of the effect of the nonlinear behaviour of the flexible connections in the calculation of the dynamic response of steel frames.

As a type of semi-rigid connection, the top and seat angle connections are popular in current structures owing to their good cyclic performance and simple erection. However, their stiffness and load bearing capacity are relatively insufficient. This study proposes two strengthening methods to further increase the stiffness and strength of bolted-angle joints while maintaining satisfactory energy dissipation capacity (EDC) and ductility. Cyclic loading tests were conducted on six joint specimens with different strengthened angle components. Based on the test results, the influence of the following important factors on the cyclic behavior of steel joint specimens was investigated: the position of the rib stiffeners (edge rib stiffeners and middle rib stiffener), steel strength grade of rib stiffeners (Q345 and Q690), and additional stiffeners or not. In addition, the finite element models of these specimens were built and validated through a comparison of experimental and numerical results. The stiffness and bearing capacity of the bolted-angle joints could be improved significantly by utilizing the novel strengthened joints proposed in this study. Moreover, this can be achieved with almost no increase in the amount of steel required, and the EDC of this joint could also satisfy the requirements of seismic codes from various countries.

It is intended to perform buckling analysis of steel gabled frames with tapered members and flexible connections. The method is based on the exact solutions of the governing differential equations for stability of a gabled frame with I-section elements. Corresponding buckling load and subsequently effective length factor are obtained for practical use. For several popular frames, the influences of the shape factor, taper ratio, span ratio, flexibility of connections and elastic rotational and translational restraints on the critical load, and corresponding equivalent effective length coefficient are studied. Some of the outcomes are compared against available solutions, demonstrating the accuracy, efficiency and capabilities of the presented approach.
