Pile-to-pilecap connection performance is important as Integral abutment bridges (IABs) have no expansion joints and their flexible weak-axis oriented supporting piles take the role of the expansion joint. This connection may govern the bridge strength and the performance against various lateral loads. The intention of this study is to identify crack propagation patterns when the pile-to-pilecap connection is subjected to lateral loadings and to propose novel connections for improved performance under lateral loadings. In this study, eight different types of connections were developed and modeled, using Abaqus 6.12 to evaluate performances. Three types were developed by strengthening the connections using rebar or steel tube: (i) PennDOT specification; (ii) Spiral rebar; and (iii) HSS tube. Other types were developed by softening the connections using shape modifications: (i) cylindrical hole; (ii) reduced flange; (iii) removed flange; (iv) extended hole; and (v) slot hole connection types. The connections using the PennDOT specification, HSS tube, and cylindrical hole were shown to be ineffective in the prevention of cracks, resulting in lower structural capacities under the lateral load compared to other types. The other developed connections successfully delayed or arrested the concrete crack initiations and propagations. Among the successful connection types, the spiral rebar connection allowed a relatively larger reaction force, which can damage the superstructure of the IABs. Other softened connections performed better in terms of minimized reaction forces and crack prevention.

Diagrid system has been in the spotlight for its superiority in terms of the resistance to lateral force when applied to skyscrapers. In diagrid system, most of columns can be eliminated because vertical loads (gravity loads) and horizontal loads (lateral loads) are delivered simultaneously thanks to the triangular shape of diagrid. However, lack of studies on connection shape and node connection details makes it hard to employ the system to the buildings. In this study, the structural safety of the node connections in circular steel tube diagrid system which has been considered in the Cyclone Tower in Korea (Seven stories below and fifty-one above the ground) was evaluated using the 4 full-scale specimens. The parameters are the extended length (20 mm, 40 mm & 60 mm), thickness (40 mm & 50 mm).

본 연구에서는 콘크리트피복 원형충전강관 기둥을 적용한 합성구조 접합부의 거동특성과 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여, 기둥-플랜지 접합부에 대한 인장실험과 보-기둥 접합부에 대한 반복하중 실험을 수행하였다. 기둥-플랜지 인장실험은 피복콘크리트의 유무와 플랜지 폭, 인장철근 보강을 변수로 하여 5개의 실험체에 대하여 하중재하능력과 파괴모드를 분석하였다. 실험결과, 접합부에서의 플랜지 단부 폭을 200mm에서 350mm로 증가시킬 경우 연결부의 강도 및 강성이 각각 1.61배와 1.56배가 증가했고, 인장철근을 보강할 경우 추가적으로 강성과 강도가 각각 1.35배와 1.92배 증가했다. 접합부 반복하중 실험에서는 접합 상세를 변수로 3개의 외부접합부 실험체를 구성했다. 접합부 보강상세로는 인장철근 보강과 강관의 두께, 수직강판 보강을 고려하였다. 모든 접합부 실험체는 보에서 뚜렷한 휨항복이 발생하였으며 접합부의 손상은 제한적이었다. 특히, 강재보가 강관에 직접 용접되는 경우 보의 웨브를 통해서도 하중이 전달되기 때문에, 플랜지 인장실험 결과보다 보수적인 설계가 가능하며, 접합부 강관 두께를 증가시키거나 수직강판으로 보강한 경우에는 추가적으로 패널존의 전단내력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

각형강관 기둥을 이용한 모멘트 접합부는 주로 관통형 다이어프램 형식으로 사용되고 있으나, 제작 및 시공과정이 복잡하여 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 강구조물 시스템은 단위 유닛 모듈(각형강관 기둥, H형강 보, 원웨이 볼트)을 현장으로 반입하여 볼트조립만으로 완성되는 것이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 내부보강판의 길이, 내부보강판의 형상을 변수로 설정하여 제안된 기둥-보 접합부의 내력 및 강성, 연성능력, 에너지 소산능력을 비교 분석하여 제시된 강구조물 시스템을 평가하였다.

The applicability and productivity of hydroforming process can be increased by combining pre- and post-forming processes such as the bending, piercing and embedding process. For the fabrication of automotive parts, the hollow bodies with connecting nuts are widely used to connect parts together. Hollow body with connecting nuts has been conventionally fabricated by welding nuts or screwing in autobody screws. It requires multiple steps and devices fur the welding and/or screwing Therefore in this study, hydro-embedding process that combines the hydraulic embedding of connecting element(nut) with hydroforming process is investigated. Studies on the hydro-embedding technology have been performed to optimize the shape of the connecting element by analyzing the deformed mode of the embedded tube The effects of the shape of the screw tip, screw thread and shape of thread on the connection force between the tube and the connecting element have been investigated to optimize the shape of connecting element. Finite element analysis has also been performed to provide deformation behaviors of the tube surrounding a hole produced by hydro-embedding.

The square tubed-reinforced concrete (TRC) column is a kind of special concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns, in which the outer thin-walled steel tube does not pass through the beam-column joint, so that the longitudinal steel reinforcing bars in the RC beam are continuous through the connection zone. However, there is a possible decrease of the axial bearing capacity at the TRC column to RC beam connection due to the discontinuity of the column tube, which is a concern to engineers. 24 connections and 7 square TRC columns were tested under axial compression. The primary parameters considered in the tests are: (1) connection location (corner, exterior and interior); (2) dimensions of RC beam cross section; (3) RC beam type (with or without horizontal haunches); (4) tube type (with or without stiffening ribs). The test results show that all specimens have relatively high load-carrying capacity and satisfactory ductility. With a proper design, the connections exhibit higher axial resistance and better ductility performance than the TRC column. The feasibility of this type of connections is verified.

The most compact and convenient pulse tube cryocooler for practical applications is the coaxial type. It can replace Stirling cryocooler without any change to the Dewar or the connection to the cooled devices. The experimental results of the coaxial inertance tube pulse tube cryocooler for cooling superconductor RF filter are presented in this paper. To find optimal conditions of inertance tube pulse tube cryocooler, no load temperature according to the variations of inertance tube volume, reservoir volume are measured, and the cool down characteristics at the particular conditions are presented. In case of the coaxial type inertance tube pulse tube refrigerator, cool down time is the lowest in the inertance tube diameter of 1.3 mm and inertance tube length of 1900 mm and lowest temperature is 112K. This results are not satisfactory for practical applications. So, We propose vacuum insulation between regenerator and pulse tube in the Stirling type coaxial pulse tube cryocooler. Stirling type coaxial pulse tube cryocooler with the vacuum insulation between regenerator and pulse tube was designed and manufactured by KIMM(Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials). The optimal conditions will be tested for Stirling type coaxial pulse tube cryocooler with the vacuum insulation between regenerator and pulse tube.

연구대상은 콘크리트 충전강관 (Concrete Filled steel tube)기둥과 보의 접합부를 합성반강접으로 적용한 구조물의 설계 적용에 관한 것이다. 합성반강접으로 기둥접합부의 강성을 조절함으로서 구조적 안전성을 확보하고 경제적인 부재를 적용하고자 하였다. 저층건물을 모멘트골조로 구조물의 안정성을 검토한 결과 합성작용으로 인하여 합성반강접을 이용하면 횡강성이 증대하여 저층건물의 경우 특별한 횡 보강재 없이 저항할 수 있음을 확인 하였다. 고층건물의 경우 모멘트골조가 횡저항 분담이 10%정도 되었으며 반강접 비율은 60%정도가 적절하였다. 경제적인 면에서 보 부재는 등분포하중이 작용하는 경우는 반강접 효과가 크나 집중하중이 작용하는 보는 반강접 효과가 크지 않았으며 등분포의 경우 60% 반강접이 단부 모멘트 저감에 따른 경제성이 가장 좋은 것으로 분석되었다. 단부 모멘트는 약 25% 감소되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
